When to Bring Your Vacuum Cleaner in for Service

For those who have carpet in their homes, vacuum cleaners are an essential household cleaning item. They help to get the dirt and grime out of the carpets, and subsequently out of the lungs of those who breathe the air in the home.

There is nothing like a brand new vacuum cleaner. They work well, have a great deal of suction, and can make the carpets in your home look spectacular. When a vacuum cleaner isn’t working up to par, service may be necessary. While many people think that it is only time for repair when the vacuum cleaner isn’t sucking, running, or it's malfunctioning in some other obvious way; that is not the case. Just as cars need maintenance, so do vacuum cleaners.

Although it may not have broken down, it is always a good idea to bring your vacuum cleaner in for regular maintenance to have the parts cleaned and tuned up in order to keep it in tip-top shape at all times. There are certain indicators to signal a need for maintenance.

An Odor Comes from Your Vacuum Cleaner

A funny smell coming from your vacuum cleaner can indicate one of several issues. The smell usually starts out fairly subtle, but can fast turn into the kind of stench that can linger in your home for hours. This is not the healthiest thing to breathe and it can release a lot of dust and grime back into the air and onto your carpet. Needless to say, if you have a vacuum with a problem like this, it is time for a service.

It’s Not Picking Up Like it Used To

When vacuum cleaners first come from the store, they tend to work very well. When a vacuum cleaner is picking up all of the debris in the carpet, it can be heard and the difference can be seen. After a while, vacuum cleaners tend to lose suction. Having to run the cleaner over one spot more than once or twice is a great indicator that a vacuum cleaner is losing suction. By cleaning and replacing a few parts, a vacuum cleaner service technician can help to restore the suction in any vacuum cleaner.

It’s More Than a Year Old

After having reached the one-year mark with your vacuum cleaner, it may be a good idea to take it in for a service. The technician can tune it up, clean the belts and brushes, and replace any faulty or broken parts to ensure that the cleaner is running in tip-top shape.

Owning a vacuum cleaner is about more than plugging it in and sweeping the carpet with it. A good vacuum cleaner requires maintenance to stay in good, working order. A good vacuum cleaner is an investment, and taking it in for a regular service is part of maintaining that investment.
