INSTALLING A CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM Step 1: Plan Layout Installation. Each inlet you intend will boost the cost of a system and increase the probability of air leaks that reduce the suction of the system. Plan carefully, with this in mind, so that you can keep the number of inlets to a minimum. Step 2: Install Power Unit. Intend to place the power unit/collection canister away from living areas in the basement, a utility room, the garage, or a comparable location. Plan to place the unit on or near an exterior wall so that it is easy to route the exhaust line outdoors. Although some forms of central vacuum do not need to be exhausted outdoors, if you exhaust it, you can minimize the dust produced by the device. Don't put the device where temperatures, such as in a furnace room, small closet, or attic, can get hot. For a long life and proper operation, the power unit needs good ventilation. Step 3: Install Inlet Valves. On each floor, most houses need one or two inlets, centrally placed, so that every corner of every room is within the reach of the vacuum hose (typically about 30 feet). While inlets are best situated along the base of interior walls, if they are positioned away from foot traffic, they can be mounted on floors (all floor inlets should have metal covers). Step 4: Run PVC Piping. Tubing can run under the floor in a single-story house with a basement or crawl space and stub into walls for a short distance or serve floor inlets directly (by far the easiest method when retrofitting). If a house has restricted access under floors, such as a two-story house, tubing must be redirected elsewhere. Typical solutions are vertically running tubing through laundry chutes, behind shelves, exposed in wardrobe corners, or boxed in at one of the corners of a room. Another common alternative is horizontally running tubing in an attic and then lowering it down through a wall or into a cabinet or closet. Short, straight, and direct are the best runs. Read more WHY INSTALL A CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM? Central vacuums eliminate allergy symptoms and do an outstanding job of vacuuming, in addition to being handy. Since the vacuum canister can be larger than a traditional household vacuum, without re-circulating such allergens into living spaces like a conventional, compact vacuum cleaner would, it can do a more efficient job of gathering dust, pollen, dander, and other airborne contaminants. While central vacuums are bigger and more efficient than traditional vacuums, since the motor is remote, they are quieter. Efficient Lightweight Cleaning Consider installing a built-in central vacuum system if you want to be able to vacuum your house easily and quietly, without dragging around a vacuum cleaner. You just hold a lightweight vacuum hose with a central vacuum and a wand with a vacuum cleaner head. The central vac turns on automatically when you plug the hose into a wall or floor inlet valve. No More Vacuum Cleaner Loud Sound! Since the central vacuum motor normally hangs outside the living room, without disrupting TV watching or phone calls, you can vacuum quietly. In most situations, you only hear the "woosh" of air hitting the head of the vacuum. A central vac helps minimize household noise as a result. Cleaner Healthier Living Environment In addition, fine dust particles, an issue with most compact vacuum cleaners, do not blow back into living spaces. This is particularly important for individuals who are susceptible to airborne dust. Minimized Maintenance & Value! A central vacuum system will rarely become obstructed, particularly if the tubing has been poorly mounted. One more plus: Usually, big canisters need to be drained just two or three times a year. A central vacuum system increases the home's resale value by nearly two thousand dollars or more, according to Home Building.com! Efficient Lightweight Cleaning No More Vacuum Cleaner Loud Sound!
