Maintenance

Vacuum cleaner maintenance is imperative if you want to ensure your vacuum operates at its best. After all, if it’s not, your floors aren’t as clean as they should be. When it comes to vacuum maintenance, there are four basic things that you should always be looking at. In the order of frequency that you should be dealing with them, they are Bags, Filters, Belts, and Rollers.

Has your vacuum cleaner started losing suction? Does it not get the job done? Whether we’re talking about a quick tune-up or a major repair, Energetic vacuums is ready to help you. Getting your vacuum cleaner serviced regularly can help keep it in excellent working order and extend the life of the motor or at least prevent early failure. This servicing is in addition to routine maintenance that you should carry out yourself in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations (check your manual for this). You should have your vacuum serviced every 12 months. The cost of servicing should not be excessive and will reduce the risk of major repairs being necessary due to a poorly maintained machine. It would not be recommended to carry out servicing yourself unless you are qualified and experienced. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for people to neglect the servicing of their vacuum cleaner and only consider getting this done when running into difficulties and the machine fails or is running poorly. It is much more effective to act before this occurs and whilst a service will not remove the possibility of a failure, it will render it much more unlikely.

5 SIGNS THAT YOUR VACUUM IS IN NEED OF A SERVICE!

Although it is recommended to service your vacuum cleaner at least every 12 months, the following are some tell-tale signs that a service may be a priority and is overdue:

*

No power to the vacuum or it keeps cutting out. This could be something as simple as a fuse or loose connection or it could be that the vacuum is overheating causing it to cut out.

*

Loss of suction that does not improve following routine maintenance.

*

Vacuum is louder than normal or making a strange noise, rattle or vibration. Listen to your vacuum cleaner for any noise that is out of the ordinary, which could suggest issues such as bent fan blades or worn bearings.

*

Smells coming from the vacuum even after changing the bag/ filter, particularly burning smells could suggest mechanical or electrical issues that need attention.

*

Vacuum is getting excessively hot (more than normal). May be accompanied by burning smells and again this can be a symptom of motor overheating, which can be caused by a number of things.
