How It Works
Standard Central Vacuum Systems
1 - Piping and inlets
Strategically placed inlets cover all surfaces of your home, with piping concealed in the crawlspace and attic connecting each inlet to the Power Unit location.
2 - Power Unit
This is the system's core, offering 3-5 times more power than portable vacuums. Located outside living areas, it ensures higher performance and quieter operation, with all debris collected to prevent dust recirculation. Vacuflo Power Units are recommended for their Lifetime Warranty and filtration options.
3 - Attachment Set & Accessories
This includes a lightweight, crush-proof hose and high-performance attachments tailored to your preferences and home's needs. The set typically includes a powerhead for carpets, floor brush for hard surfaces, and various tools like dusting brush, upholstery brush, crevice tool, extension wand, hose hanger, and attachment caddy.
Pre Plumbed Homes
1 - Select Vac Equipment
If your home is already plumbed for central vac, you simply need to select a properly sized Power Unit and an Attachment Set that fits your needs. Select your equipment from our website or come in to our showroom and try all the options out first hand. We can also visit your home and bring you any information necessary.
2 - Select Accessories
Select any of the other convenience options for your system. Retractable hoses, automatic dustpans, Garage kits, hose socks or stair tools are some of the many popular extras that can enhance your central vacuum system.
3 - Set a Date for Install
Complete installation and set up can usually be done in about an hour. Once the system is installed, our friendly technician will provide a full demonstration of how your new system works. This will include the maintenance and care of the Power Unit, how to use and maintain the accessories, and a full explanation of your warranty.
