Why Central Vacuum Experts 2013 Was A Record Year

Home show season is just around the corner (Feb. 14 – 16) so it seems like the perfect time to recap 2013 in our central vacuum operation, Central Vacuum Experts.  We had a record year thanks to our participation in four home shows, better online presence, our professional installation & servicing team and great word of mouth.  We were awarded the 2013 Angie’s List Super Service Award winner and we accomplished that in 2012 as well.  Coupled with our reputation for quality installations and friendly customer service, we were able to achieve our best year ever in central vacuum installations.

The ACS Home Show is February 14 – 16 at the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh.
One thing that sets us apart from most of our central vacuum competitors is doing existing homes and commercial installations.  We are able to do existing homes with no exposed pipes, no ‘opening up walls’ and minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Central Vacuum Experts provides a wide range of commercial central vacuum and indoor air quality solutions.  In 2013, we installed central vacuums in two hair salons in Wake County as well as Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Durham and at a surgical device manufacturer in Morrisville.  The commercial jobs had very specific needs and we worked closely with the builders to get the client exactly what they were looking for. For example, the requirements of the medical device manufacturing process demanded that metal piping be used.

Remember, the benefits of central vacuums; quietness, strong suction, no exhaust air in your living or work space, adds value and convenience make it a smart decision for any home or business!

Central Vacuum Experts growth & Vacuum Cleaner Hospital new products make 2013 a banner year

January is always a good time to reflect on the previous year’s accomplishments and to thank those who made it happen, our loyal customers!  It was a record- breaking year for our central vacuum division, Central Vacuum Experts.  Besides a healthy increase in new construction installations, we also did several veterinary clinics and a surgical device manufacturer.

I want to mention that if you weren’t aware, we specialize in existing home central vacuum installations.  Other companies don’t want to touch this sort of installation but our CVE team has plenty of experience.

Vacuum Cleaner Hospital is always on the lookout for unique and interesting products to sell in the store.  It has to contribute to our philosophy of “Essentials for Clean Living®”.   In 2013, we added Moso Natural air purifying bags, the e-cloth - the world’s finest microfiber and the Spinning Mop, a better version than the “as seen on TV” mop.  With each of these products we have multiple sizes to help you make your home healthier and help you clean faster.

Our newest product is the Haan steam mop and we’re getting 2 different models.  One is straight-forward stick type and the other has a detachable hand steamer.  Haan is probably the best known brand of steam mop besides the Shark.  The big advantage – besides quality – is having us stand behind the unit for service and warranty.  The Shark brand, both steamers and vacuums, are only warranted directly from the company and just try getting through to customer service on the phone!

Without a doubt, the product I’m most excited about from 2013 and continuing into the future is Split!.  Take a moment to read about how this amazing cleaning product works. We are a distributor in Orange, Chatham and Durham counties. We have gallons and quarts for sale to clean tile, stone and carpet.  It truly does Split the dirt and grime on any hard to clean surface you can think of!

Miele gets top ratings

The November issue of Consumer Reports (CR) hit the newsstands last month and usually I would have an issue with their top picks. That's NOT the case this year as Miele topped both upright and canister categories!

However, some clarification is in order since the number one rated canister has been discontinued recently.  The S5 Callisto canister is now the S8 Kona model (pictured) and some design features are greatly improved.  The suction power is the same as well as the power nozzle.

The Twist is the number one upright; it is Miele’s base model within the upright series.



Be aware it is CR’s tradition to rate a less expensive model of whatever brand as #1 or a ‘Best Buy’ since it costs less.  That may not be the best model for you and that’s where we come in.  We know every detail of every Miele model so once you tell us what’s important to you – and what surfaces you’re vacuuming – we’ll help you pick the right model for your needs not just CR's 'best buy'.
