High-quality vacuum cleaners are not cheap, which is why you should view this machine as an investment you’ll take good care of. An important aspect of caring for your unit is scheduling a vacuum repair when it breaks down. Read on to understand the benefits of investing in your vacuum and how to determine whether to repair or replace it.

Your Guide to Vacuum Repair

Why You Should Service It

When a vacuum cleaner stops working properly, many people’s first reaction is to replace the machine altogether. However, this is an expensive solution that creates a lot of waste. The cost of replacing a small part on an otherwise pristine vacuum is much lower than buying a new machine altogether. By keeping your machine for its full functional life span, you’ll reduce the impact on the environment by keeping it out of a landfill.

When to Repair vs. Replace

Deciding whether to repair or replace your vacuum is easy if you know what to look for. For example, some common problems that can be easily fixed are a vacuum that won’t turn on or one that isn’t providing the same suction that it used to. You should also have a look at it if it’s making a strange sound, smell, or seems to be overheating. If the estimated repair costs more than half of what a new unit would cost, then it’s typically worthwhile to buy a new vacuum altogether. If the vacuum made contact with a large volume of water, then it shouldn’t be plugged in again and should be replaced — it will be an electrical shock hazard.
