I have been in the central vacuum business for over 28 years! It has been exciting to see the increase in central vacuum awareness. The indoor air benefit is undeniable. What those of us in the industry have always known, is now being embraced by the green building industry.
When my son was young he had severe asthma. We had carpeting and used a traditional portable vacuum cleaner. His asthma became worse and so we tore up all our carpeting, removed our draperies, and switched to using a central vacuum system. Within a year, the majority of his symptoms were gone, and today he is 18 years old, has passed the Army physical fitness test, and is on his way to college on a full ROTC scholarship! Now I know my central vacuum system isn't responsible for all of that, but it definitely played a part in the health of my son.
I love central vacuum systems and want everyone to know that they are sustainable, affordable, can be installed in almost any home (new or existing), and usually can be installed by the homeowner. Many manufacturers have great websites to instruct you about their product and even instruct you how to install one yourself. Here are some links to the major central vacuum manufacturers and distributors. We sell all of these products on our website, but other than that, we are in no other way connected to these companies.
