You depend on a vacuum cleaner to keep your carpet free of pet dander, allergens, and other dirt, dust, and debris. But what should you do if it breaks down? You could spend the time and money on researching and buying a new vacuum cleaner, or you could invest in vacuum repairs. Below are some questions to ask yourself as you make this decision.

How to Determine if Vacuum Repairs Are Worth It

Do I Like My Vacuum?

Ask yourself how much you value your vacuum cleaner. If you’ve always struggled with it and vacuuming is an unpleasant chore, look into purchasing a new machine. But if you enjoy working with your appliance and would be sad to see it go, it might be worth the repair.

Are the Repairs Easy to Make?

Not all malfunctions are created equal, and vacuum repairs are different for each problem. For electrical issues or belt problems, a repair technician will fix the problem without trouble. 

Are There Other Factors That Make Repairs Difficult?

Vacuum RepairThere are a few vacuum problems that indicate it’s time to retire the machine. Moisture damages most residential vacuum cleaners and, in some cases, can fry the whole system. If other unpleasant or dangerous substances have clogged the vacuum, it might be difficult to find a technician willing to work on it. In these cases, throw out your device and start fresh.

Has It Reached the End of Its Useful Life?

A vacuum cleaner’s life span varies from brand to brand. Check your machine’s warranties and what other customers say about it. If your vacuum cleaner is nearing the end of its useful life, retire and replace it, but schedule repairs if the appliance has some years left in it.
