Central Vac's: How They Clean
The single biggest advantage of a central vac system is that they don't require you to carry a heavy upright unit up and down the stairs or from room to room. Central vac's remove all the dirt and debris from your home sending the dirt and debris through tubing located in your walls to a receptacle in an out-of-the-way or hidden location such as your garage or basement. With central vac's, the only thing you only carry is a lightweight hose and power brush unit around the house. The power unit is centrally located and permanently and out of your way.
Auto dustpan
With a central vac system, inlets are placed around your home at several convenient locations. Instead of having to plug a portable vacuum into an electrical outlet and hoping the cord reaches the area you'd like to vacuum, you can move the central vac hose from inlet to inlet. Where you have the inlets installed is up to you. You can even have an automatic dustpan installed that lets you quickly sweep debris into a lower floor wall vent using a regular broom.
Once you've decided to have a central vac system installed in your home, there are a few things that will take place regarding installation.
First, you'll need to decide where you want to have your central power unit installed. Typically, you choices are out-of-the-way areas such as in your basement, utility room or your garage. Wall inlets are then installed throughout the home in various locations allowing easy access to connect your cleaning hose . The valves of the system are connected to the power unit through tubing which can be run through the cold air returns, attic or the basement of your home.
What all this means is that the tubing that carries the dirt and debris you vacuum is kept behind your walls. You'll never see any of it until it comes time to empty your receptacle.

Deciding Where To Have Your Inlets Installed
Once you've decided on the location
for the power unit and dirt receptacle, you'll need to determine where you'll have your wall inlets installed. These are the locations where you'll plug in the power brush or
similar unit that you'll be using to vacuum your home. How many inlets needed in your
home is based primarily on the square footage of your home and the number of rooms. As a guideline, one inlet is installed for every 600 square feet of living space. If you live in a multi-story home, you'll need a minimum of one inlet per story. Unless you plan on doing the installation yourself, your professional installer will assist you in determining the correct number and location of your wall inlets.
Once your system is installed, you use it by simply plugging the lightweight hose and power brush unit directly into a wall inlet. With most systems, you'll find the power button located directly on the handle, allowing you complete control of the system vs. having to go over to the power unit to turn the system on. All you need to do is plug in and begin vacuuming. The central vac then vacuums up the dirt, dust and debris out of the room, through the tubing located behind the walls, and into the main power unit, where it is deposited into a cannister or bag in the debris container. Depending on how often you vacuum, most central vac bags and canisters only require being emptied an average of once every two to three months.
