Central Vacuum Cleaners

Central vacuum cleaners also referred to as a built in vacuum cleaners consist of a vacuum power unit which is typically installed in a utility room, garage, or closet; and a 30-35 foot hose which is plugged into a inlet valve which is in the wall or floor; you can then attach any vacuum cleaner attachment to the end of the hose, such as a power nozzle, floor brush, dusting tool, upholstery tool, and crevice tool. Central vacuum cleaners are more effective than traditional HEPA filters, if they are exhausted outdoors. Therefore there will be no emission emitted back into your indoor environment, leaving you a cleaner healthier home. The dirt travels through the wall and collects into a drum which is part of the power unit, and is typically empitied on a semi-annual basis. Central Vacuum Cleaners can be installed in both new construction and existing homes.
