Central Vacuums

Central Vacuums may be making a 21st-century comeback and that’s good news for those hypersensitive to dust, or who live in an environment prone to airborne particles. Let us get you plugged into the world of central vacuums and explain why they’re so out of the ordinary.

Central Vacuums Precede Portable Vacuums

They were introduced in the late 19th century as a series of tubes that linked around a home to filter dust particles to a central location. Tubes attached to broom heads can be extended from the wall and gather dust from any room. The debris then travels through tubes and air vents to a central location within the home, which prevents dust from resettling elsewhere.

In Terms of Their Capabilities

A 2001 study showed they were better at improving the health of individuals with type I hypersensitivity to house dust. In general, air quality within the home is improved as the dust isn’t able to resettle after it is made airborne.

It Saves You Time in any ordinary home

But central vacuums are especially handy for homes situated in communities of heavy traffic, dense natural surroundings, or in an apartment block. If you’re in an area where airborne particles are more prone to be kicked up, your air quality may suffer.

Whether or not you are sensitive to dust, it’s wise to consider if you are in a home that could benefit from a central vacuum. Your air quality is constantly affected by pets, pollen, or a busy community. Call us at our Calgary location for a consultation or to learn more about central vacuums. (403 255 5212)
