Should You Get a Central Vacuum System For Your Home?

Is it Practical to have a Central Vacuum Cleaner for your domestic cleaning? Why would you want to install one? And when should you not consider buying one? Read on to understand whether a central vacuum system is worth the money.

Advantages of a Central Vacuum System

Easy to Use:

While cleaning, you can plug in the smaller, more compact vacuum to the central vacuum system to vacuum the house. This cleaning unit doesn’t require you to carry a bulky vacuum cleaner around the house.

Quiet Operation:

If you prefer quiet spaces, the central vacuum system is not as noisy as conventional vacuum cleaners

Versatility:

You can utilize the vacuum extensions on the central vacuum system’s wands to vacuum high places, low places, under the furniture, on furniture, and most places without having to mess with a barrage of extensions and tools.

Quality Filtration:

Central vacuums draw all the dirt down to the primary filter; there is no danger of dust and dander getting blown out the back of the central vacuum unit as the filters bag fills up or clog.

More Power:

Central vacuum cleaners offer enhanced suction than less expensive vacuum cleaners, without the danger of overheating the motor from an entire day of cleaning. The suction won’t go down after long time usage with the central vacuum system unless your central vacuum’s filter is blocked.

More on the Central Vacuum System Installation

It’s generally believed that fitting a central vacuum cleaner in your home will add value over its resale value. However, you will need space for the extensive central vacuum system's motors. Keeping the central vacuum unit in your basement keeps it cooler. Central vacuum systems can last up to ten years. Some regular vacuum cleaners last that long, though, with typical maintenance like replacing central vacuum system accessories.

Who Might Benefit from a Central Vacuum System?

Those Looking for Easier Cleaning Solutions

If you have a home that needs regular cleaning and a cleaner that is typically vacuuming the residence, then a central vacuum system is the right fit. Homes with 3000 SQ FT will do with a central vacuum system. Another place where a central vacuum makes sense is a hotel bed and breakfast. You have to vacuum the rooms every day as well as the hallways, all without disturbing the visitors.

Those that Live in a Bubble

If you want a home that is almost entirely dust and allergen-free, discharging a regular vacuum cleaner’s dust cup may cause an asthma attack. Investing in central vacuum system installations will save you from the need to keep hiring someone to remove the dust, which could be a significant expense in the long run.
