A properly installed central vacuum system is the best investment for a homeowner looking for superior performance and filtration from a vacuum cleaner. Although there are several exceptional portable vacuums available to consumers including several of the products featured in our stores, nothing competes with the power and convenience a properly installed central vacuum.
Top 5 Advantages of a Central Vacuum
Dependability - No portable vacuum can match the dependability of a quality central vacuum system. The average life of a central vacuum is 20 years because of larger motors and the fact the vacuum unit itself is stationary in one part of your home. Since central vacuums are stationary they eliminate the wear and tear on the motors and body of the unit from accidental falls or objects that can damage some portable vacuum motors. The added features offered by both Riccar and Cyclovac help to prolong the life expectancy of the vacuum units by eliminating the passage of dust through the motors like cyclonic or inverted bag systems. Riccar also offers a lifetime warranty in addition to these enhancements over other central vacuum units.Power - A properly designed central vacuum system can have up to 5x more power than a conventional vacuum cleaner. The added motor size of a quality central vacuum system will increase its ability to clean more effectively than an upright or canister when the vacuum unit is paired with the proper hose and head to clean your homes surfaces. The incorporation of a cooling fan on most central vacuum motors also allows the vacuum system to run much cooler and thus increasing the motors performance.
Filtration - Only a central vacuum can offer 100% dust free operation for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The exhaust of the central vacuum system completely eliminates allergens and pollutants from being recirculated back into your home by exhausting the air outside and not back into your room. Both the Riccar and Cyclovac brands take this to an even higher level by incorporating a sealable disposable bag and added motor filtration.
Value - A quality central vacuum system is the logical choice for those looking for the best overall value out of their cleaning investment. Central vacuum systems offer years of reliable service and require less maintenance than a upright or canister vacuum cleaner. The total operating costs of a central vacuum system are much less compared to portable vacuum cleaners when you factor in the life of the central vacuum unit. The overall performance benefits that a central vacuum offers actually helps the marketability of your home on the open market.
Convenience - You'll no longer need a separate vacuum for your carpet, hard floors or car. You can save wanted closet space in your two story home by no longer needing a vacuum for each level or retire your dust pan by installing a vac pan for tile or hard surfaces. You'll even be able to watch t.v. or socialize without the annoying noise that a portable vacuum generates while you vacuum your home.
Going Green with a Central Vacuum
Central vacuums offer several additional features over portable vacuum cleaners for those looking for a greener life style. Builders looking to manufacture green homes can receive up to 5 points when venting the central vacuum outside the home.Health - Studies show that a central vacuum can increase indoor health and reduce allergens by as much as 60% in your home.
Life - A central vacuum provides many more years of service over portable vacuum cleaners and reduces the waste put into our land fills.
Smart - Top manufacturers like RIccar and Cyclovac utilize steel bodies that can be recycled or will decompose in land fills over time unlike plastic that will sit forever.
Efficient - Better quality central vacuums have more powerful and efficient running motors that also reduces the amount of run time required lessening electricity usage.
