Central VACUUMS
Whatever size home you have, you can’t beat the
convenience and efficacy of the central vacuum,
which, unlike conventional vacuum cleanerscan more
effectively andsafely remove 100% of the dust, dirt and
allergens in your home.
If you are planning on building a new home, a renovation
or extension, you might want to consider centralizing
your vacuum service. Even existing homes can be
retrofitted with a system. Professional installers
can install the system, or step-by-step installation
instructions are available for the handymen in your
family.
Central vacuums are high-powered systems that come
with non-crushable retractable air hoses, power heads,
and all the accessories for any thickness and pile of
carpet or rug: tools to reach under your fridge or stove,
as well as fabric tools for your furnishings.
Tubing is installed in the walls of your home so dust
and allergens are conveniently and safely sucked away
into the holding canister. Each floor of your home will
have an inlet valve and storage for an air hose that
will be designed to reach every room on that floor.
The power unit is conveniently mounted and housed
in a well-ventilated garage, basement or storeroom,
therefore eliminating much of the noise associated with
vacuums. Systems may come with a HEPA vacuum
filter in the collection canister.
Vacuum cleaners are tedious to push, or pull up and
down stairs from floor to floor. If you have allergy
sufferers in your family, or just looking for greater
convenience, you can’t beat the efficiency of the
central vacuum system. Vacuuming convenience is
a great consideration and investment, which makes
cleaning your home more pleasurable, keeping it tidier
and healthier.
