What kind of a track record do built-in systems have?
In our experience (over 32 years in the built-in vacuum business), built-in systems installed by a reputable, experienced crew, provide excellent, trouble-free service and performance. Because Crown Company installations use only the highest-quality piping and fittings, and vacuum units chosen for their history of durability and ruggedness, our typical installation serves the customer trouble-free for 12-15 years. It is rare to experience a “bad” unit; however, when this happens, it usually occurs within the first year of service. (All products we sell have a minimum guarantee of one year or more.) The only maintenance required by the owner is to empty the canister or change the filter around twice a year.
