Before discussing a central vacuum cleaner it would be a good idea to get an impression in the mind about what these things actually are. They are essentially complete cleaning systems that are installed somewhere in your house or in the garage. They are particularly effective in removing up to 99% of dust from the home.

Generally they are installed during the construction of a house, however it is also possible to install them in completed houses. The problem with doing it later is that the ductwork and hoses are all run inside the walls of the house so some kind of access will have to be gained in order to properly install the vacuum.

Once the vacuum has been installed the process of actually doing the vacuuming is incredibly simple. All you have to do is take out the required length of vacuum hose, plug it into the socket that has been placed on the wall and you are ready to go.

One of the big advantages with using a central vacuum is that you don’t have to drag out a heavy portable vacuum cleaner and then maneuver it around the house, pulling it into place and ensuring the cord doesn’t get snagged wherever you go. With a central system the only part you need to think about is the hose and how much dirt it is sucking up.
