Beam Cental Vac QS 3500C: Low Suction
Original Message Nov 8, 2007 11:46 pm |

I am happy with my central but for some reason it has low suction and there are not any blockages and its the top of the line Beam System. It had to be installed in the attic because thats the only place were the installers had enough space for installation, but that was the only down part of it, its not a problem going to the attic to dump the canister but why is the suction low. I mean its has the suction of your typical run of the mill canister vacuum. It uses 15amps of power but I may have it plugged into a lower voltage outlet.

VacLov, Re: Home Depot contractors or others. Buyer beware, all contractors are not alike. I would consider strongly a local, reputable licensed, insured and bonded contractor. The entire process (installation) should be a positive experience. – A fast, clean, lasting and up to code work should be expected. My neighbor used Home Depot contractors to install kitchen cabinets – the job was pure garbage. Garbage work is a skill many have (Home Depot or not). Ask exactly how the job is to look (location of pipes (plumb and level), holes in/outside walls (patched and patched well?), etc. Basically the “Golden Rule” should apply. Home Depot contractor investigation by NBC4 – here. DIB P.S. I am not saying all Home Depot work is bad or questionable, just buyer beware.

Sigh, DysonInventsBig, thats what I was trying to avoid, I already had a bad experience with my insurance company hiring a subcontractor to repair damage done by a tornado. Now after seeing that, I'm very hesitant having a "Home Depot" employee coming into my home. Thanks for the heads up looks like I have a lot of research to do before I get the job completed.

You should try a SilentMaster. Those things are super powerful, and quiet.
