There are many
benefits to having a built-in vacuum. No cords, less
mess, more power, and an easier clean. It’s a convenient, high-performing,
versatile, and all-around great value. Plus, it even helps to improve the
indoor air quality of your house. If you haven’t yet considered upgrading to a
built-in vacuum, we urge you to do so. For over three decades, at Gary’s
Vacuflo, we’ve been making a difference in homes all around the Portland area
by installing built-in vacuum systems.
You may be asking
yourself what a built-in vacuum is. Essentially, it’s a vacuum that’s located
in a central location in your home but works throughout all the rooms in your
house, with pipes running through the interior walls. These pipes connect to
the central unit of the system, which is stationary, meaning you’ll never have
to lug a heavy portable vacuum around ever again.
Wondering how a built-in vacuum works? Let us explain it to you. There are four main components to a built-in vacuum that work together to function.
Central
Vacuum Power Unit
The central vacuum
power unit is at the core of the built-in vacuum system. It has a motor that’s
extremely powerful and capable of providing strong suction and deep cleaning.
The power unit also has a filter to separates the debris. This power unit is
large and strong, so it tends to be located in the basement or the garage of
your home. This way, it’s out of sight too, so no need to worry about it being
an eyesore.
The vacuum motor pulls
air through the pipes in your walls and then through the hose. This then sucks
up and captures all the dirt, dust, debris, garbage, and so forth that you
would normally vacuum up. All of these things are completely removed from the
home to the power unit, where they can be disposed of without reintroducing
them to your living space.
Don’t worry, you won’t
have to visit the power unit to hit the on-switch every time you want to
vacuum. The unit is automatically powered on when a vacuum hose is inserted
into one of the inlets on your wall.
Pipes
and Inlets
As mentioned, the pipes
are in the walls and are how everything—air, dirt, and debris—travels out of
your living space. The inlets are installed in various rooms of your home, but
not every room needs an inlet, as an inlet can cover even over 1,000 square
feet. Instead, they can be installed where they’ll be most convenient for you.
The distance reachable from each inlet will vary based on the type and length
of the central vacuum hose you choose. All inlets do have low voltage wires.
Central
Vacuum Hose
The hose of the central
vacuum is basically the control of the entire system. They are crushproof,
light, and bendable. There are two different types of central vacuum hoses that
you can choose from—traditional vacuum hoses and retractable hoses.
The traditional vacuum
hose has two ends: one designed to connect to the inlet and the other to your
chosen vacuum attachment. A retractable hose doesn’t need to be plugged into
the inlet, as it is already contained in the pipes until you pull it out to use
it. When you’re done with it, just use your hand to block the suction for a
moment, and the hose will retract back into the pipes.
Vacuum
Tools
There are a variety of
vacuum tools and accessories
that are beneficial to use with your built-in vacuum system. Many of these
allow you to clean your home even more efficiently. The most common types of
vacuum tools people purchase are carpet brush heads and tools for cleaning
blinds and mopping floors. There are many tools and accessories out there, and
you should be able to find those that will fit your home and your family’s
needs perfectly. There truly is an accessory available for every single
cleaning job!
At Gary’s Vacuflo, we
have different categories of vacuum tools and accessories, such as hose
management and quick clean-up, cleaning kits, hard surface clean-up, powerheads
and hose accessories, pet tools, dust and crevice tools, storage and
maintenance tools, and specialist tools such as a floor rake.
A built-in vacuum
system is a great option for many homes and families. It makes cleaning easier,
faster, and more efficient. Plus, it results in a more thorough cleaning. By
completely removing dust, dirt, pet dander, and allergens from your home,
you’re improving your air quality and creating a healthier environment. It
really will help transform your home.
