CHOOSING THE RIGHT CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM

Consider your lifestyle. Every house gets its share of dust, tracked-in dirt and lint that must be eliminated. Add in the activities of a busy family life; a pet or two; allergies or respiratory ailments; messy hobbies; square footage of the home; lots of rugs and carpet; dusty locales and seasonal weather changes; and cleaning needs escalate proportionately. You’ll want to choose a central vac system with adequate power that not only lifts the dirt from surfaces but removes it completely from your living space so that it does not recirculate in the air, a common problem with portable vacuum cleaners. Our systems remove 100% of vacuumed dust, dirt and allergens from your home.

We will help you choose the power unit that best meets the needs of the square footage of your home. Our Power Units are engineered to match a home’s square footage and your specific cleaning needs. VACUFLO power units are available for homes of all sizes and layouts.

No More Clunky Cleaning Machines. Do you remember climbing out of your car to lift a heavy garage door– in the rain? Or stretching a phone cord across the kitchen through the bowl of applesauce while you tried to reach the oven before your pot roast burned? Certain modern conveniences, like automatic garage door openers and cordless phones, bring a degree of ease into our daily lives, leading us to wonder how we lived without them. Yet most of us continue to lug heavy, cumbersome vacuum cleaners around the house, straining our backs and nicking the woodwork without question. With our systems, you simply attach the end of the hose to the inlet valves located throughout your home, and go.

For the ultimate in convenience, opt for one of our unique hose management solutions- Vroom or Spot. These retractable hose systems provide convenient cleaning for all areas of the home!  A range of accessories  make whole-house cleaning easy. Once you make the switch to the right central vac system, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to make this necessary chore less time consuming, strenuous and awkward. People who loathe vacuuming more than any other household task love their central vacuum system because it is nearly effortless to use, convenient and powerfully effective!

Who needs more noise in their world? When you choose your central vac system, you shouldn’t have to trade performance for noise level. Some central vacs are so loud they sound like four portable vacuum cleaners running at the same time. Ouch. Our systems are so quiet, you can run it while your child (or spouse) is napping.

The performance of any central vac system can be adversely affected by improper installation. When you choose one of our systems, you have the peace of mind knowing your system is being installed by one of our certified installers.

Both new construction and retrofitting are easily accomplished often in one or two days. Because we are skilled and trained in central vacs, not only will our systems be properly installed; we approach each job with your convenience in mind, as opposed to the installer’s convenience. That means you’ll get to work with us to designs a schematic layout of inlet valves based on cost, optimal performance and how you plan to use your system, with an attention to detail you’ll appreciate every time you vacuum (no valves installed behind doors or other inconvenient spots, for example).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that indoor air pollution is America’s most serious environmental health problem. The American College of Allergists reports that 50% of all illnesses are caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. Poor indoor air quality can be caused by several factors: today’s more tightly sealed housing construction, synthetic building materials and furnishings, and chemically formulated household products. Since most people spend 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality can affect health, safety and comfort, especially in children and the elderly.  Our system eliminate 100% of vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens, creating a healthier home, unlike portable vacuum cleaners, which recirculate portions of the dust and allergens they intake.

Your home will look better, smell fresher and offer cleaner air with our systems. In fact, University of California Davis School of Medicine found that allergy sufferers’ symptoms can be improved up to 61% when using a central vacuum system. According to the U.S. EPA, using central vacuum systems that are vented to the outdoors can significantly reduce dust mites, pollens, animal dander and other allergy causing agents from your home.

Cost is an equation of quality, time, energy and materials. While the initial cash outlay of a central vac system may be greater than that of a portable vacuum cleaner, the long term costs can actually be lower in the long run. There was a time when a good vacuum cleaner was a solid investment that lasted for years. Today’s portable sweepers seem to be designed with obsolescence in mind. Even if you spend upwards of $500 on a quality portable vacuum cleaner, you are still dealing with the weight, inconvenience and bag cost that go along with it, as well as the prospect of replacement at some point.

A central vac system, on the other hand, is an investment in powerful performance, significantly cleaner indoor air, and convenience that will most likely last the life of your home, and even increase its resale value. As one home builder quoted, “When prospective clients come through my homes, the two things they comment upon most are granite countertops and central vac systems.”
