Central vacuums are similar to your central heating system. A fixed motor is connected to a series of pipes which run to each of the rooms in the house that you wish to have connected to the system. Each of these rooms have a valve connection where the vacuum hose is attached.

Vacuuming could not be easier with a central vacuum. Take the vacuum hose into the room, plug it into the wall socket and clean the room. When you finish, unplug and move onto the next room. No canisters or uprights to carry around, just the hose and any attachments.

One of the side benefits in using a central vacuum cleaner is the lack of recycled air. Conventional vacuum cleaners suck air (and dirt or dust) into the vacuum where the dirt or dust is filtered out and the air sent back out into the room. With good vacuums this normally not an issue, however, with a central vacuums it is non issue as the air is expelled in the basement or garage, wherever the main motor is situated.

Central vacuum cleaners tend to be much quieter than traditional units whilst still maintaining a strong cleaning action. Other benefits include the increase in home values, once installed you will never need to purchase a vacuum cleaner again.

There are two types of central vacuum cleaners:

• Filtered: these use a variety of filters to clean the air taken in by the vacuum. The filters will still need to be cleaned and replaced.

• Cyclonic: these use centrifugal tornado-like force and gravity to separate the impurities from the air being taken in by the vacuum and deposits the dirt into a canister.
