Elmira Vacuum & Electrical
Small-town service is his ace in the hole
Elmira Vacuum carries a full line of Eureka vacuums, from hand vacs to uprights, canisters and central vacuum systems. The big advantage to the Eureka line, Pond explained, is that it’s still possible to get parts in Canada. Manufacturers like Hoover and Dirt Devil have moved to the United States, but Eureka still has a location in Mississauga.
The vacuum side of the store has expanded in the decade that Pond has worked there. With tighter rules and stricter enforcement of electrical work, they see fewer do-it-yourselfers coming in for parts. However, the store still carries a selection of breakers, switch covers and PVC piping as well as lamp parts and lightbulbs.
In addition to the Eureka brand, Elmira Vacuum carries filters and bags for a number of other brands, and Pond does quotes and installations of central vacuum systems.
While it’s not viable to fix small appliances – you can buy a new toaster for less than it would cost to fix one – repairing a vacuum is still worth the customer’s while. Repairs and maintenance are done on-site, in the basement of the Church Street store, and every vacuum leaves the store ready to go, with no assembly required. More...
