One thing you should be aware of is that a central vacuum’s power should never diminish as you move farther away from the power head. The motor of a central vac is much stronger than an upright or canister model and should remain powerful no matter what room you are in. You should expect effective cleaning no matter how far away you are from the motor. If the performance becomes weaker as you move from room to room, you know you have an issue to fix.

"I did the online chat with Cynthia, and she was very helpful. She was able to find the item I needed quickly, and this helped me identify a suitable product for my Beam Central Vacuum unit.”
"Web site was easy to follow and gave explanations of the products that other sites didn't.”
"After ordering my replacement central vacuum power unit, I received a call from a sales rep at Think Vacuums. He asked about the brand of the unit that I ordered. He strongly recommended that I go with a different unit because of the number of repair calls they have received on the same unit that I ordered. His recommendation was for a unit with a 25-year warranty instead of the 8 year warranty on the one I originally ordered, and they have had no service calls on the one he suggested. I couldn't be happier. I have my new unit installed; it's smaller than the one I was going to order and more powerful. Thank you.”
