It is our goal to provide sound installation of your central vacuum system while providing you with a top quality product.
Central Vacuum Experts is a new division of Vacuum Cleaner Hospital, which has been serving the Triangle Area since 1986.

On March 10, 1986, Tom Proctor opened the doors to the Vacuum Cleaner Hospital. Working long hours, he singlehandedly repaired all incoming "sick" vacuums, worked the sales floor, and with some help from his fiancée, Ruth (now Mrs. Proctor), got the bookkeeping done too.

The store was modest, but Tom started with a bang - carrying the most popular brands of vacuums. Within a year a part-time employee was hired to help with customer traffic, sales, and repair.

In 1990 VCH moved to Elliott Road in Chapel Hill, and by the end of the year the company had added a full-time repair technician, David Vandergriff. David is still with the company today and has been a vital part of VCH's growth and excellent repair reputation.

In 1992 another full-time employee was hired to help with sales and bookkeeping, and by 1995 VCH was installing central vacuum systems. In 1996 and 1997 Vacuum Cleaner Hospital brought on more team members to focus on central vacuum business.
In 1999 the showroom underwent a complete renovation. New flooring and lighting and all new displays were added to create a modern retail space.

We’re excited about the newest step in Vacuum Cleaner Hospital history, our official Central Vacuum Experts division, which officially came into being at the beginning of 2008.
The Central Vacuum Experts team has 20 years of installation and service expertise. Our installers are nationally certified.
