Question:I have an older central vacuum cleaner that I believe the motor has gone bad. It’s a “Signature 900”, I believe it was sold by Montgomery Wards. On the name plate tag it says “Eureka 900, 115 volt, 13 amps. My parents owned this home before I retired from the Navy & purchased it from them. My father installed this vacuum system probably 40+ years ago. It is vented to the outside with 2” pvc and has 2 runs of 2” pvc for suction. The 2 plug in ports are located in the hallway. This is a 3 bedroom rambler home approximately 1800 sq ft on the main level with the basement 3/4 finished. What unit would be best for replacing the old unit? Located alongside the vacuum head is a junction box with a switch as the head has a utility port on the front and you move the toggle switch to switch between upstairs ports and the utility port. I believe this junction box is where it switch’s from low level to 115 VAC. I have looked at various units on your website but am a little confused as to what is best. I worked in electronics in the Navy so I have some knowledge of electrical/electronics. Thank you.

-
Matt
(04/03/2014)
Answer:The PU3650 is very easy to install. Simply remove the old 1590 and the old mounting bracket, and then install the new mounting bracket with four screws. Then hang the unit and tie in the low voltage and pipe intake. In some cases you may need a piece of pipe or flexible pipe to fully tie in the pipe. We also have installers you can call and talk to at 866-972-8227 prior to purchase.
