Instead of carrying a heavy machine around, Cenral Vacuum Systems keep it light and simple
Central Vacuum Systems Consist Of:
Power Unit/Collection Canister - mounts in the utility room, garage, basement or closet
Inlet Ports - installed throughout the house
Hose - connects to the ports when you want to vacuum
Hose Attachments - different heads for carpet, hard floors, etc.
In Wall Piping- piping is run behind the walls, in the attic & basement ceiling from the power unit to each inlet port
Options:
In Wall Retractable Hose - a retractable hose inside the wall eliminating the need to carry the hose from port to port
Kitchen Under Cabinet Toe Kick Port- convenient way to sweep crumbs into the port
Advantages:
Life Span- traditional portable vacuums need to be replaced every few years. The power unit of a central vac system can last up to 25 years.
Power - central vacuum systems are much more powerful than a traditional vacuum because the motor in power unit is much larger than the motor in a portable vacuum.
Convenience- clean up faster and easier without the weight of a portable vacuum
