Central Vacuum Systems

CUSTOMIZED HOMES ARE THE NEW STANDARD

As the housing market becomes ever more competitive, builders are adapting by creating more options for homebuyers. Features that were once considered customized, such as first-floor master suites and laundry rooms, walk-in seated showers, even granite countertops in the kitchen, are becoming more and more mainstream. Green building is another example of home modification that is becoming the norm.

It isn’t just the competitive marketplace that is driving this trend, however. More and more people build homes with an eye to “aging in place.” This means a home design that will remain functional and easy to maintain as physical strength may decrease or disabilities emerge.

If you are in the midst of designing your dream home, one important option to consider is a central vacuum system. Even if you are physically strong and able-bodied, you will appreciate how remarkably easy vacuuming can be with a central vacuum system.

Instead of lugging around a heavy vacuum cleaner from room to room, central vacuums allow you to place a hose end in strategically placed outlets throughout your home, then simply vacuum. Virtually all dirt and debris are carried through a series of plastic tubes inside your walls to a sealed canister away from living space, such as in a basement, closet or garage. Perfect for those who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory conditions, central vacuum systems are also easy on the back and joints.

Central vacuum systems can easily be retrofitted to most existing homes in about a day by a qualified installer. But they are even easier to install when a home is under construction, before the drywall has gone up.

Make an investment in your health and long-term value of your home by specifying a central vacuum system in your new house. Learn more here.
