VACUUM PARTS & SERVICE

 

Just like any other appliance in your home, your vacuum cleaner requires periodic maintenance and service.  Each vacuum will have certain "wear items" that need to be serviced and/or replaced at regularly scheduled intervals to keep it running properly and efficiently. 

 

At Guarantee, we have the largest stock of the most commonly replaced service items in North-Central Indiana.  Regardless of your experiences with the other appliances in  your home, we are dedicated to making certain that if your vacuum requires repair that this part of ownership will be hassle-free.  Also, if we don't have the part you require in stock, we are happy to special order any item for you. 

 

As we mentioned earlier, each vacuum has "wear items" that need to be replaced or serviced at regularly scheduled intervals.  A "wear item" is a part that will  gradually lose its effectiveness over time.  Wear items on your vacuum may differ, but the typical parts included are belts, bags, filters, brush rollers and light bulbs.  Please consult the table below to see if your vacuum may need service on one or more of these parts.

 

BELTS

Belts should be replaced on your vacuum at least once each year.  Belts can stretch out as they are used, which means the brush roll won't spin as fast as it should.  This can cause your vacuum to clean less efficiently, which means it will take longer to clean your house.

Most belts cost between $1.50 to $5 each for household vacuums.

   
BAGS

If your vacuum takes bags (and we recommend vacuums with bags), then you should  replace them frequently for many reasons.  On most vacuums a full bag means less suction and pickup.  Also, the older your bag is the more likely your vacuum is to have an unpleasant odor.  Finally, many vacuum bags are also a form of filtration for your vacuum.  Once your bag is full it loses it effectiveness as a filter.

Most bags are available in packages of 3 to 6 bags per package.  Cost can vary greatly from model to model, but most are within the $3 to $15 range.

   
BRUSH ROLLS

Nearly every vacuum made today is equipped with a brushroll, which helps your vacuum get the dirt from deep down in  your carpet.  Over time, the brushes on this brushroll can wear down and/or round off.  Once this happens, the brushroll should be replaced.

Brushroll prices vary greatly between models.  Most are available from $20 to $30, however some brushrolls can cost from $50 on up.

   
FILTERS

It is extremely important to replace all the filters on your vacuum regularly.  Not only do they keep the air that your vacuum recirculates into your home cleaner if they are new, but they also have a direct impact on your vacuums cleaning performance.  The older your filters are, the less air that can be move through them, which causes your vacuum to labor.  Filters on bagged vacuums can range from $5 to $20.  Some vacuums have filter kits that have all of the filters your vacuum takes available.

If you have a bagless vacuum, it is even more important to change the filters more often.  Since the filters are trapping ALL of the dust and debris without the aid of a bag, if the filters go unchanged for too long, the back pressure created can damage your motor.  Bagless vacuums typically use many filters and each filter can range from $5 to over $50 each.

 
If you have any questions regarding regular service of your vacuum cleaner, please feel free to contact the service department.  Also, the instruction manual that came with your vacuum will detail when you should replace or service particular items on your vacuum.
