Central Vacuums for Green Building

Sustainable is an interesting concept. The ability to maintain something over a long period of time is important. Right now in the U.S. we need to do more than just sustain employment, we need to increase it. One way to do that is to look for products manufactured in the United States. A central vacuum system really should be part of any green building project for numerous reasons. and Lindsay Mfg. has been manufacturing central vacuum systems in the United States for close to 60 years and they built their company on the idea that your family deserves a healthy home.They bring us Vacu-Maid, Astro-Vac, Imperium, and Valet central vacuum systems. Their units are made of all recyclable steel and one of my favorites is the S2400 Clean Green unit. Its sustainable design ensures longer life and less replacement. Quality, durability and repairability, with recycleable materials such as steel bodies and metal motors. The Vacu-Maid S2400 reduces allergy and asthma symptoms by up to 61% because it removes dust and allergens from the home. The Clean Green features a repairable long-life motor, a special interrupter that stops the motor near the end of brush life so that the brushes can be replaced prior to damage to the motor, has an on/off switch that turns the power unit off completely, no energy leakage (vampire power), has a recycleable steel canister, and even the packaging is recyclable.
