SELECTING A CENTRAL VACUUM
. . . who wants to DRAG around a vacuum cleaner, why not PLUG IN an A.C.V.?

Central Vacs are the #1 appliance installed in new homes. . .
Let's face the facts, we live in a society where we expect ease of use, we just want to plug in and enjoy the convenience of cleaning our homes. Central Vacuums are sweeping the market as the preferred cleaning choice by home owners.

Eliminate Dust Mites and Molds. . .
With allergies and asthma on the increase, the choice to have a central vacuum system to ensure the optimum indoor air quality has never made more sense. Today's homes are constructed with improved building materials, designed to make them more energy efficient. The result is often airtight living environments which harbor many airborne contaminants, especially those from portable vacuums which exhaust and stir up fine dust particles through even the most efficient state-of-the-air filters.

A central vacuum system will give you peace of mind knowing that 100% of all dust particles are removed from your home, through a sealed system of vacuum tubing, to a remote area such as the garage, basement or closet. That means, no more 'just vacuumed' odor which really consists of millions of microorganisms including dust mites and molds (the major causes of respiratory problems). You can be confident that your home is cleaner and the air you and your family breathes is healthier.

To choose the system that most suits the requirements of your home refer to the individual models or download our 'Condos to Castles' brochure.

Installation:

Whether your home is a Condo, 2-story, bungalow, or even a Castle, an A.C.V. Central Vac can meet your every needs. Typically, 3 to 4 inlets will serve the average size home. Each A.C.V. unit comes with a detailed Installation Guide that will assist you in planning and installing. Installation time could be accomplished within one day.

If you are the do-it-yourself person with some electrical knowledge, then you are qualified to install our systems. Our qualified Dealers will also provide installation.

Consider the following:

• Locate the power unit in the garage, basement, utility room or any remote area
• Iif you are considering a 'standard' 30 foot vacuum hose, then your inlets will have to be appropriately spaced
• Allow for overlap when placing inlets
• Do not place the inlet behind any doors, or have them blocked by furniture, make all inlets easily accessible.
• Variety of Accessory Packages to choose from
• New Homes

Central Vacs 'should' be the #1 appliance installed in new homes, considering the importance of indoor air quality. A central vacuum contributes greatly to the elimination of dust mites and other allergens which adversely effect the respiratory health of all who live in the home, especially children and the elderly.

Very simple to install, just plan the location of the Power Unit and Inlets with your builder. The builder or contractor will run the tubing and inlets prior to drywall or flooring.

Existing Homes

It is a fallacy to think that central vacuums can only be installed in new construction or roughed-in homes only. With careful planning the required tubing can be placed in cold air returns or even placed in the back of closets, utility rooms, etc. Our experienced installers do many exhisting homes with great success.

Again, installation is also easy. You would simply plan the inlets, run the tubing between the drywall, and cutting could be kept to a minimum. It is also recommended to place the tubing through cold air returns.
