Central Vacuum

 Most central vacuum systems have three basic components: the power unit, a three- or four-foot-high canister-shaped motor which is usually placed in the basement or garage; the hose and attachment set, which is what is used to perform the actual cleaning; and the plastic tubing and inlet valves that are used to connect the power unit to the hose and attachment set.

These vacuum systems have three to five times more suction power than a traditional vacuum cleaner, and despite the common misconceptions you don’t have to have an inlet valve in every room, simply because the hose that comes with most systems is 30 feet long. So, it is often possible to have a system that can be used in every room of the house with as few as three strategically located inlet valves.

One advantage of a central vacuum is that the exhaust from the system is usually released to the exterior of the home. With conventional vacuum cleaners, however, filters are generally used to trap dust before the air is exhausted back into the room.

When that dust is airborne, it is virtually impossible to suck up with the vacuum. More important, most dust particles picked up by the vacuum usually pass the filters. So, exhausting the filtered air back into your living room can lead to dust settling on your furniture, disturb resident with breathing conditions and aggravate allergies.

Based on a study by the University of California at Davis School of Medicine, a central vacuum system installed in a home can reduce allergy-sufferers’ symptoms by as much as 61 percent and according to experts at the National Association of Realtors, a house with a central vacuum system is easier to sell.

Another cause for hesitation for people who consider installing a central vacuum system is that they consider the whole process very difficult, time consuming and quite expensive, to install such a system in an already finished house.

Surprisingly, the job can be efficiently done with minimal change to the structure of the house and in most cases completely operational by the end of the day.

In most cases, a low-voltage wire is routed alongside the plastic piping so that a signal can be sent from the inlet valve to the power unit to turn the system on when the hose is plugged into the wall.

The inlets are connected to a nearby electrical outlet, and when you put the hose in the inlet or take it out, it creates a brief electrical spike that is picked up by the power unit and makes it to turn itself on or off

Central vacuum cleaners are usually installed in the basement or a utility room. A piping system with air inlet valves that connects the floors and rooms with the central vacuum cleaner. 

Inlet valves are installed in walls throughout the building that can attach to suction hoses to remove dust and small debris from interior rooms in a comfortable way. These systems can be installed in both residential homes and commercial properties.

In conclusion, you save time when housekeeping, live healthier with no threat from dust allergies and make a good impression on guests, stuff and clients.
