"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the recent service on my central vac. The service was excellent from start to finish - from answering my initial call to my final, jubilant, "This vac has not worked so well in a long time!" ...

The System
A central vacuum system consists of 3 elements:
- A vacuum unit that provides suction and collects debris. It is typically placed in the basement or garage.
- An accessory kit which includes a hose, power head for carpet, brush for smooth floors, other cleaning attachments, wands, tool bag and hose hanger.
- Piping system which connects vacuum inlets and dustpans to the power unit.

Benefits
Central vac systems provide many benefits over portable vacuums:
- Power is 3-5 times greater, so more dirt is removed with fewer passes of the vacuum tool.
- The life of floor coverings is prolonged because more imbedded dirt is removed.
- Indoor air quality is improved because dirt picked up by the vacuum is not recirculated into the living space as with portable vacuums. This helps relieve asthma and allergy symptoms.
- The hose and cleaning tools are lightweight, easing physical stress caused by operating a heavier portable vacuum.
- Vacuuming is much quieter due to the remote location of the motor.
- Central vacuum accessories are more versatile, providing the capability to effectively clean carpet, rugs, smooth floors, steps, furniture, walls, ceilings, vehicles and garages.
- As built-in appliances, central vacuums add value to the home.
- Central vacuums are a good investment, often lasting more than 20 years.
- The longer life leads to a favorable environmental impact due to less waste in our landfills.
- Large dirt receptacles and permanent filters result in less maintenance.

Broad Selection
While many other companies offer only one or two brands, we offer many. We have found that many customers prefer a brand based on favorable experience and we want to be able to fulfill that preference as opposed to talking them into another one. Also, this provides us with a stable of over 60 models of vacuum units and numerous accessories that satisfy any house and customer preference.
Accessories
Many accessories are available that turn a central vacuum into the ultimate cleaning machine. An automatic dustpan can be mounted in the toekick of a kitchen cabinet and activated to suck up dirt that is swept up to it. A garage attachment kit is useful for cleaning the garage and vehicles. There are even attachments for cleaning blinds, ceiling fans and computer keyboards.
Living Green
Central vacuums contribute to environmental sustainability. Longer lasting units made of recyclable steel with no disposable paper bags and filters result in less waste in our landfills. Improved indoor air quality is one of the five key areas of sustainability taken into consideration in attaining LEED Green Building Certification. The NAHB green building standard awards 5 points for a central vacuum system exhausted to the outside.
