FAQs

The central vacuum system works by using suction power generated by the central unit to remove dirt, dust, and debris through a network of tubing installed within the walls. When a hose is connected to a wall inlet, the suction is activated, and debris is drawn into the tubing and collected in a central canister or bag located in the central unit.

Installation of a central vacuum system typically involves routing tubing through walls during construction or renovation. Retrofitting can also be done in existing homes, although it may require professional installation. It's important to plan the layout carefully, ensuring proper placement of wall inlets and the central unit for optimal performance.

While most central vacuum systems are designed for dry cleaning only, there are specialized models available that can handle wet cleaning tasks such as spills or wet-dry vacuuming. However, it's essential to use the appropriate attachments and follow manufacturer guidelines to prevent damage to the system.

Factors to consider when purchasing a central vacuum system include the size and layout of your home, the power and suction capabilities of the central unit, the type of filtration system, noise levels, warranty coverage, and compatibility with accessories and attachments. Consulting with a reputable dealer or installer can help you choose the right system for your needs.

Maintenance of a central vacuum system typically involves emptying or replacing the collection canister or bag as needed, checking and cleaning filters regularly, and inspecting the tubing for clogs or damage. Professional servicing may also be recommended periodically to ensure optimal performance.
