Over the years this problem has come up from time to time. There are also other issues that can affect your low voltage wiring. Sometimes a rodent will chew through the low voltage wire, sometimes a wire gets shorted, sometimes another workman cuts the wire, and sometimes whoever installed the wire made a mistake in the installation. When this happens the central vac unit will not turn on automatically from the inlets. Often customers think this means they have to run new wire (which can often be extremely difficult) or they think they have to go to the garage or basement and turn the unit on manually every time they want to use it.
We have good news. There is a wireless remote available. This small device has two wires that attach to your central vacuum power unit. It comes with a small key fob. You just press the button on the small remote and your central vacuum system will turn on.
This is a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive solution to an irritating problem. You can see this product on our web site. It is on our "Tools and Stuff" page, at the very bottom of the page. Here is the link:
