Central Vacuums vs. Traditional Vacuums
Like most chores, vacuuming is a task that some people loathe and some people enjoy. Regardless of your attitude toward the chore, you may want to consider installing a South Florida central vacuum to increase the effectiveness of your vacuuming. Central vacuum services perform existing home installations, and owners of central vacuums praise them for their convenience, power, and reduced noise.
How It Works
A South Florida central vacuum is installed in a central location, and inlets are placed throughout the house. The movable component is a lightweight hose that corresponds to the inlets. The dirt, dust, and debris travels through the hose into a central container. The central vacuum requires minimal maintenance, just occasional emptying every 3 to 4 months.
Advantages of South Florida Central Vacuums
- No recirculation of dirty air - considered hypoallergenic
- 3 to 5 times more suction power than traditional vacuums
- More convenient than traditional vacuums - no cords to trip over and no heavy equipment to carry
- Increased value to your home as a permanent appliance
- Versatility in the form of accessories and attachments
- Quieter than traditional vacuums - the central unit is located elsewhere in the house
Impact on Floor Types
- Hardwood - Traditional vacuums tend to scratch hardwood flooring, but central vacuums clean hardwood thoroughly without scratching.
- Carpet - For a surface-level clean, traditional vacuums are sufficient for carpet flooring. However, the motors in traditional vacuums are often weaker, and the filters are prone to clogging. Central vacuums’ motors are stronger, and central vacuums can adjust to the different heights and types of carpet with ease.
- Tile - Although traditional vacuums can damage tiles with scratches, central vacuums avoid scratching the tile floor with a soft-bristled tile floor head.
Vacuuming may be noisy and tedious, but it doesn’t have to be. If you contact Built-In Central Vacuums for an existing home installation, you can enjoy the convenience that a South Florida central vacuum offers.
