The Advantages of a Central Vacuum System
The common household chore of vacuuming is not often one that an individual looks forward to. First of all, the vacuum cleaner needs to be removed from the closet or storage space. Often, the vacuum cleaner is clumsy and heavy.
Additionally, if the house contains wall-to-wall carpeting, the vacuum cleaner needs to be moved from room to room. This necessitates the removing of the electrical cord, transporting the vacuum into the next room, plugging in the electric cord once again, and when done, repeating the process all over again. Also, if the home is a two-story dwelling, this means that the vacuum cleaner needs to be carried up and down the stairs.
Finally, when the vacuuming is completed, the vacuum cleaner needs to be returned from where it was stored. This entire tedious process takes time and energy, not to mention the cleaning of the vacuum and removal of the vacuum cleaner bag
Enter the central vacuum system. The central vacuum system provides many advantages that far outweigh the use of a traditional vacuum cleaner. Those advantages include an increase in power, convenience of use, health reasons and the perception of adding value to the home.
Power
A central vacuum system provides optimum vacuuming power. This is attributed to the fact that the motor system is designed with a more powerful motor. Generally, a central vacuum system has two to five times the power found in a traditional vacuum cleaner.
This power is due to the design of the central vacuum system which is typically comprised of a multi-stage motor that can provide an 85 to a 147 inch water lift. In addition, units are featured with a large trash capacity as well as a multi-stage filtration system.
Of course, the power of a central vacuum system is matched in proportion to the size of the home that the system is installed in.
Convenience of Use
With the installation of a central vacuum system the accessibility to a vacuum is convenient. By simply connecting the vacuum tubing to ideally situated inlet valves within the home, the vacuum is ready for use. The power is automatically engaged when the connection is made between the hose and the valve.
The ease and convenience of the central vacuum system is demonstrated by the availability of the vacuum without having to move a standard vacuum cleaner from room to room. The vacuum cleaner is already in the room waiting for the chore to be accomplished.
Health Reasons
The central vacuum system is the system of choice when it comes to providing for the health of your family. This is due to the fact that the vacuumed contents of your home, dust, dust mites, dirt, etc., are captured away from your family and located in the storage container apart from the living area of the home.
In addition, another health benefit that is realized is a reduction in noise. This benefit is enjoyed in that the motorized vacuum sound occurs apart from the general living area. Usually the vacuum system is housed in the garage or other out-of-the-way location.
Increases the Value of the Home
One final benefit that is realized through the use of a central vacuum system is the corresponding increase in the home’s value. It has been demonstrated, through home sales and the experiences of realtors, that the central vacuum system has been a selling point for many a buyer. In addition, the perception of the prospective buyer equates a cleaner home with an installed vacuum system.
