Central Vacuum Cleaning

Using a vacuum to clean a vacuum.

When To Clean Your Central Vacuum

Central vacuum cleaning maintenance depends on how often you use the appliance. Generally, central vacuum canisters should be cleaned every three to six months, more often if used more frequently. You can tell your central vacuum needs to be cleaned when the suction is weakening.

Can I Clean My Central Vacuum Canister Myself?

Absolutely! Regular central vacuum cleaning and maintenance does not require any fancy or professional equipment. Simply locate your central vacuum canister, detach the hose and empty your central vacuum canister of dust and debris. Also check your filter to make sure it is in good condition – if it’s especially dusty, give it a quick vacuum to clear any dust build up. Reassemble and your central vacuum should be back to sucking! But…

When To Call In Help To Clean Your Central Vac

No time, or don’t have another vacuum to vacuum your vacuum? We can help!

“Oops….” If you’ve lost some things to the central vac more than a couple times, you might be experiencing some serious blockage. Hey, don’t worry. It happens. When your central vacuum lines are clogged with accidents, that’s where we come in. 

Using our high powered vacuum truck, we use high pressure air in each of your vacuum ports to clear any blockages and ensure maximum air flow in your central vac system. We then empty the canister, vacuum the filter, and dispose of all the debris. Don’t fret – we’ll also return any random treasures we may find!

What Our Customers Have To Say

Very pleased with using this company to have our furnace, duct, dryer vent and central vacuum lines cleaned. I didn’t even know they would offer a central vac line cleaning. We just bought a new house (9 years old, new for us) and we wanted to start fresh with everything cleaned. Our Furnace Tune Up company (Rob’s Albertan Service Experts) recommended we use Alberta Furnace Cleaning as they had a new partnership with them. I booked and was very happy with their service and work. Will use them again in the future.

Called about strange burning smell coming from vents, called AB Furnace, the two gentlemen were so professional, put my mind at ease and even repaired what the last furnace cleaners damaged! They educated me on maintenance and what & when to check for things. Cost was way below value, had a wonderful experience and booked them for my next cleaning. Outstanding service!Service: Heating system maintenance

Excellent experience using Alberta Furnace Cleaning. Arnold and Edison were very friendly, explained everything to me and took the time to ask if I had any questions or concerns. Also explained the invoice to me and what was done prior to payment. Would recommend and will use again!

Called for furnace and vent cleaning on a Friday and the service was completed on a Monday morning. The technicians were on time, polite and efficient. It was -25 outside so it was appreciated that the service only took approximately 1 hour. Would definitely recommend and will be a repeat customer.Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning
