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.

Andrew and his team provided courteous and friendly service. They showed up on time and clearly explained all of the work that they did. All fees were as expected from the quote with no unexpected costs. They were thorough and efficient. We had our ducts, AC coil, dryer vent and central vacuum system cleaned and are happy with the service. We would recommend and use them again.Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning

Just wanted to say that, first - you guys are awesome! And second - Anjohnel and Mykhailo are fantastic! They came in, explained everything, gave us a few tips and thanked us for being prepared in terms of moving things out of the way for then. They even took some time out to give our dogs a pet, which they really liked! Very pleasant to deal with and payment was quick and easy. Thank you again! For sure we'll be recommending you and will be back once our next service is due!

Professional and Excellent Service! The team explained the entire process clearly and even showed me how dusty the furnace was. They performed their duties meticulously, ensuring everything was cleaned thoroughly. Highly recommend their services!

Had a great experience with this furnace cleaning company! The two guys showed up right on time and were super friendly. They came in, got right to work, and were fast and efficient. Everything was done quickly and professionally. I’m very pleased with the service and will definitely be using this company again!

- Ashley W

The two technicians, Norshaedy and Richie, were friendly and evidently well experienced, performing the work with admirable alacrity. I will not fault them for failing to maintain the company's officially stated 2m distance (Covid-19 precautions) as I also found this objective difficult to maintain under furnace-room conditions. In short, I will be happy to use and recommend the services of AFC in future.Services: HVAC duct & vent cleaning, A/C system maintenance
