HTC Home Integration - Central Vacuum

Central vacuum systems totally eliminate the re-circulation of dirty air inside your living area while picking up dirt and debris. A central power unit sits in an isolated area such as your basement, garage or utility room and wall inlet valves are installed in different locations throughout your home and connected to the power unit through tubing. Plugging the lightweight hose into a wall inlet then activates the central vacuum system. When activated, the system carries the dirt, dust, and allergens out of the room into the main power unit and deposits all of the debris into the canister.

Central vacuum cleaners typically have 3-5 times more cleaning power than most portable vacuum cleaners so you get a superior cleaning in less time. Since the central vacuum system is located in an isolated area, it can have bigger, heavier motors. This power will give a deep down clean and pick up that bread crumb you usually have to go over five or six times to pick up. Most central vacuum models which are recommended have an airflow of 95 to 215 cfm (cubic feet per minute), compared with 60 to 90 cfm from a portable.

Advantages of Central Vacuum Cleaners

Basically, it's a healthier home environment. Using home central vacuum systems is a good way to reduce indoor air pollutants and allergy-causing agents. Here are some other good reasons:

Choice of attachments - Dozens of attachments are designed to clean any type of surface: carpeting, wood and tile floors, draperies, furniture, crevices, corners, staircases, ceiling fans, cars, etc.

Ease - There is no heavy unit to pull, push or drag up stairs, no switches, and no electrical cords to keep tripping over. Just connect the lightweight hose of your central vacuum to any conveniently located inlet.

Savings from a central vacuum - Central vacuum systems save you money by greatly prolonging the life of your carpeting, drapes and furniture due to the increased, deep-down cleaning power. A central vacuum system can be a great investment for your home.

Performance of a central vacuum center - The better vacuum performance and ease of use lead to a cleaner home, longer life for your carpets and furniture and an overall more desirable living environment. A central vacuum is also typically low-maintenance and has 100% filtration.

Value - Investing in a central vacuum system increases the market value of your home, as with other built-in appliances. You can buy a central vacuum for less than the cost of the high-end portable vacuum and watch the resale value of your home go up around $2,000 when appraised. Therefore, whether your home is already built or under construction, a central vacuum system can be installed easily and also be cost friendly.
