Building Green with a Central Vacuum

Today’s environmentally conscious homeowners are demanding and getting improved energy efficiency, better indoor air quality and smarter use of building materials. These "green" building initiatives not only protect the environment, but also improve comfort and boost home value.

Built-In Central Vacuums have a unique role to play in "green" homes. By removing 100% of vacuumed dirt and dust, they ensure healthy indoor air and reduce the discomfort of allergy sufferers by more than 60%. Quality Central Vacuums also offer these benefits:

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Central Vacuum Systems can help improve indoor air quality by capturing 100% of all vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens with no recirculation of particles back into the living area.

All you discard is the dust

Unlike uprights, which are often discarded after only a few years, Central Vacuum Systems keep up worry-free cleaning for decades. Most systems have impressive Warranties.

No additional electricity

Built-In Central Vacuums offers turbine-powered powerheads. Turbines run off the airflow of your central vacuum system so they require no additional electricity to operate.

Say NO to noise pollution

Quality central vacuum power units feature sound-dampening designs that keep homes peacefully quiet.
