Why Invest In A Central Vacuum System?

By Betty Howard


Due to the drawbacks of conventional equipment, few people look forward to vacuuming their houses. Portable systems are not only heavy and noisy, but they're also not the most effective at cleaning. The best solution for such issues would be to install a central vacuum system. Thanks to the unique features, such a system offers a handful of immediate and long-term benefits.

The motors that come with most central devices can be up to 3 times stronger than those found in their portable counterparts. And because they're permanently installed in one location, they stay much cooler. Furthermore, the equipment has a superior ability to remove the surface dust and debris as well as deeply-embedded particulates that cause carpeting to age.

Thanks to the numerous accessories available for built-in systems, they have a better ability to clean different types of surfaces. From extension wants that reach the highest ceilings to mini tool kits for cleaning shelves and keyboards, there's almost no part of the house that's inaccessible. With the right accessories, you can easily clean hard-to-reach areas. You can even find units that have digital controls to indicate the efficiency of operation, when the canister is filled up and when maintenance is due.

Use of central units has been proven to be more effective at removing dirt, dust and allergens from the inside of a home. And the reason is simple: these systems extract the dirt and debris out of the house and into the main power unit where the particles are expelled outside. As such, allergic individuals' symptoms could be improved by as much as 61% when using a built-in system.

With modern cleaning solutions, consumer demand is all about speed and convenience, all while getting the job done. Not only are ducted vacs easy to use, but the parts are also lightweight and flexible. With such a unit, there's no need to dance around the power cord as you clean. You also don't have to clean out bags or canisters before and after every use.

Portable cleaners are infamous for the noisy racket they make when in use. With built-in equipment, noise doesn't have to be an issue. The motor, which is the main source of the noise, is usually located in the garage or basement. One doesn't have to think twice about turning it on, even when the kids are asleep.

While the initial investment in a ducted system far exceeds that of a portable unit, the costs are substantially lower in the long run. Because the former is more effective at cleaning, it helps extend the value of carpets. The equipment also adds value to the property. Furthermore, the units last much longer than their portable counterparts which need to be replaced more often.

Ducted vacs can be installed in new construction or retrofitted into existing property without much difficulty. Most dealers are usually willing to assist homeowners in designing a system optimized for their spaces. And if you're currently undertaking a remodeling project, you have a great opportunity to easily install such a system.
