How to Choose a Central Vac

If you are getting tired of carrying your vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs, and from one room to another, perhaps the best solution for you is to install a central vacuum system. With a central vac, all you have to do is carry a cleaning device that is attached to a lightweight hose, and you can vacuum-clean all corners of your house with ease. However, with so many different types of central vacuum systems on the market, you may not know which one is the most suitable for your home. Before you get a central vac, it is important to take a few things into consideration.

The first thing to consider is the size of your home. Central vacs come in different power classifications, and a larger house requires a more powerful system. The power of a central vacuum system is measured by ‘waterlift’. If your house measures 2500 square feet or below, a central vac with a waterlift of 105 inches to 250 inches should suffice. The power units vary from one manufacturer to another, but the differences are too minimal to have any noticeable effect on the system’s performance.

The next thing to do is to find out which central vacuum system is most suitable for your house. There are three main types of central vacs to choose from: the bag system; the filtered system; and the cyclonic system. A bag central vac system has a dirt canister containing a bag where dirt is deposited. After the bag is about ¾ full, it has to be emptied or replaced. The filtration system, on the other hand, uses a filter to collect the dirt, and the filter has to be cleaned or replaced from time-to-time to keep the system in tiptop condition. Some filter systems are also equipped with bags for convenient disposal. The cyclonic system does not have a bag or filter; the collected dirt will be disposed outside the house into a canister. This system is able to maintain continuous airflow, and as such, it offers optimum suction power for cleaning. Before deciding which type of system to buy, it is recommended to seek the advice of a central vac expert.

Another major concern among buyers of central vacuum systems is the price. The price varies according to the type of central vac you choose, as well as the model, size, and power of the system. If you know how to install the system yourself, then you only need to spend money on the materials, which may cost around $600 to $1500. Most dealers provide installation service, but will charge a fee.

There are also various accessories you can purchase to make cleaning more effective, and these include dusting or upholstery brushes, floor brushes, power beater-bar brushes for carpets, and other small-space tools. There are two types of power beater-bars, which are electric and turbo-powered brushes. The electric ones are more effective, and are usually more expensive too.
