Benefits of a Built-In Central Vacuum System

Built-in central vacuum systems are a whole house-cleaning system that’s inside your walls, making cleaning easier and more
efficient than ever. They improve the air quality, reduce noise pollution, minimize the physical effort, all while providing superior
cleaning power for your floors and living space, improving the overall health and quality of your entire living environment.
Built-in central vacuum systems are simple yet make a world of difference. They can usually be installed in a day, whether it’s a new build
or retrofit. A system includes a power unit, typically installed in the garage or basement, and two-inch PVC tubing that’s installed
throughout the home’s interior walls. The system’s designed to carry 100% of the contacted dirt, dust, and allergens away from the
living area to the central power unit. Once installed and ready to vacuum, you simply insert a lightweight hose into one of the wall
inlet valves. Most homes have one or two central vacuum inlet valves per floor.
Convenient
There are so many advantages of owning a built-in central vacuum, ease of use being a big one. The size of a built-in central
vacuum system makes it accessible to anyone. The average portable vacuum weighs 6.8 kg (15 pounds), the central vacuum hose
and handle weigh only 3.2 kg (7 pounds). This makes it easy to move from task to task, level to level, and floor to ceiling.
Some built-in central vacuum systems have a permanent self-cleaning filter that never needs to be replaced. By using cyclonic
forces to separate larger dirt particles and allergens from vacuumed air, the permanent filter traps tiny particles as small as
.3 microns at 98% efficiency. You won’t find any dust particles sticking to the self-cleaning filter surface like conventional filter
media. The self-cleaning filter cleans itself every time the system is turned off, and the large capacity dirt bucket only needs to
be emptied about twice a year.
Clean Air
A healthy home is a happy home. With powerful suction, lightweight, versatile convenience and durability, built-in central vacuum
systems are designed to help remove dirt, dust, allergens and other debris from your living space. For people living with airborne
allergens, a built-in central vacuum system provides quick relief. They are a simple and effective way to remove dust, dirt and other
allergens away from your home.
Quiet
Perhaps one of the most unexpected benefits of a built-in central vacuum system is its quietness. With the power unit mounted
and installed in the basement, garage or utility area, the noise you’d often associate with running a portable vacuum is reduced
significantly because it is away from your living area. The power units have impressive dBA ratings. You can vacuum even if
someone is on the phone.
Sustainable
Built-in central vacuum sustainability is largely attributed to the system’s durability.
There’s very little if any, maintenance needed. The days of lugging heavy portable vacuums all around the house and manoeuvring
around cords are over thanks to built-in central vacuum systems.
Built-in central vacuums are more affordable than you think and they can increase the resale value of your home.
