Hello Everyone. After almost 12 years, it’s time for Evan and Cindy to say goodbye to Indiana Vac. As many of you know, Indiana Vac entered the Pittsburgh central vacuum market in 2015 and through hard work and dedication to customer satisfaction, Evan, Cindy and their team have built Pittsburgh Central Vacuum into the largest central vacuum installation company in Western PA. Pittsburgh Central Vacuum has also formed strategic partnerships with top custom home builders and low-voltage integrators that have allowed them to be incorporated into more homes than ever before. Pittsburgh Central Vacuum has also expanded into the commercial and industrial markets which has fully embraced the power, convenience and safety of central vacuums in commercial buildings like hair salons/barber shops, veterinarian centers and production facilities.
Then in January 2023, Evan and Cindy took over another store, Keystone Vacuum in Butler formerly known as Sweeper City. This location is much closer to the bulk of the central vacuum work, and with over 4,000 sq. ft. of prime retail space, it has become a showroom, office and warehouse for the central vacuum business, in addition to being a thriving portable vacuum store. The Butler Community has embraced us with open arms and their vigor to shop local has been a reinvigorating experience for us.
Which brings us to the difficult part...After several years of declining sales and community support, the tough decision was made to close the Indiana Vac store. We would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their support over the years. You are the customers that made the decision to buy quality over quantity, and made the decision to support a local business as opposed to funding another house for a billionaire. We cannot thank you enough.
For our Keystone Vacuum and Pittsburgh Central Vacuum customers, business will continue as normal. All phone numbers, services and locations will remain the same and unchanged. Since PCV grew out of Indiana Vac, we have a lot of overlapping customers and we want to make it perfectly clear that we will be maintaining ALL installation and repair services to our central vacuum and Keystone Clients.
Because we wanted to take care of our clients that have supported us over the years, we were lucky enough to begin a partnership with the new Upstreet Ace Hardware that will be opening soon. Upon meeting with Katie and Matthew at Upstreet, we quickly realized that their desire to deliver first class customer service and sell the most innovative and quality products made our decision to hand off the Riccar and SEBO Dealerships to them an easy one. Upstreet Ace Hardware will be carrying new Riccar and SEBO Vacuums and will provide service and supplies for those machines and more. More details will be shared on their page as they open up and add vacuum cleaners to their extensive selection of exciting new products.
Indiana Vac will still be repairing vacuums and carpet cleaners until June 16th, with ALL repairs needing to be picked up by the final day of business, June 21st. During that time, we may be running limited hours as our team prepares the inventory to be moved to the Butler location, so if you’re traveling in from out of town, please call ahead to ensure we’re still operating under normal business hours. If you need to contact us for any purchase records or additional information, call the store at 724-349-8565 and be sure to like our new page for Keystone Vacuum and Pittsburgh Central Vacuum to keep up with everything Cindy and Evan are up to!
