A central vacuum is a type of vacuum that is installed into your home or office as a semi-permanent fixture. These are designed to send dirt and other particles through tubing that is installed inside of the walls, emptying into a collection container that is installed in a separate, remote utility space. The power unit and collection container are typically permanent fixtures that we can install into a basement, garage, storage room, or any other room you see fit. Then, we also install inlets into the walls throughout the building that accessories such as power hoses can attach to. The great thing about this type of system is that no dust and allergens are recirculated through the interior air. If you or anyone else in the building is an allergy sufferer, this is definitely a major benefit!

Central vacuums can be equipped with either an electrical power brush, or an air-driven power brush. Air-driven brushes tend to be less expensive and more quiet than a turbine-driven brush. On average, the central vacuum system is equipped with around 30 feet of hose, plus the
standard cleaning tools you would find with a standard vacuum.
The hose can be stored around a wire rack that is mounted on a
closet wall, or on the back of a door. Alternatively, a "Hide-A-Hose" system could be installed. This system uses suction to draw the hose into the tubing inside the wall for storage. Of course, this kind of installation requires special fittings, as well as careful design and workmanship, to ensure smooth retraction of the hose. Automatic dustpans are another worthwhile accessory. These can be installed into the kickspace underneath a countertop, enabling a person to use a regular old broom to sweep debris directly into a vacuum inlet. Another amazing accessory is what's called the "DrawerVac", which pulls out like a drawer from the underside of a table or counter, and can be used to dispose of debris from the work surface. One last accessory we should definitely bring up is the "VacnSeal". This one is intended to be installed on the underside of a cabinet, and the nozzle is used to evacuate excess air from a plastic storage bag (i.e. Ziploc). This is said to preserve food for a longer period of time.
