Cleaning your home may not always be a chore that you look forward to. It may not exactly be the way you wish to spend your weekend. But while vacuuming is never fun, there is a way to make the job a little easier.
Central Vacuum Systems are changing the way people look at vacuuming their home. Installing a Central Vacuum System is a healthier way to maintain your new home and a great investment for new homeowners.
The best thing about central vacuum systems is that it is not necessary to carry the bulky, heavy unit from one room to the next or up and down the stairs. This system is a great tool for expelling pollutants, as well as harmful allergens such as dust mites and their minute droppings.
These systems are designed to remove all the dust and dirt from your home and send it through the tubing located in the walls to an out-of-the-way location such as a garage or basement. Central Vacuum Systems are equipped with high performance motors that are unique with specially designed motor fans. The dirt and debris get accumulated in the dirt canister, while the remaining small particles are vented outside. These systems require one to carry only a lightweight hose and a power brush unit around the house. With the increase in popularity of these systems, several varieties and options have now become available. There are two main product decisions from which one can choose i.e. the power unit and the power brush. Again, one may choose between the cyclonic or the filtered system.
Selecting central vacuum equipment
On an average one can find three or four styles that vary in power, size and price. Though these systems are typically rated by air flow, air power or horse power, these measurements have little to do with effective suction. The best way to access these systems is the "waterlift" i.e. a test of a sealed system's sucking power. As a thumb rule, the smaller system with a waterlift of 105 inches to 120 inches is good enough for a 2500 square foot house.
