You know, a lot of you may find this hard to believe, but I like to do chores around my house
0:09
and one of my favorite one happens to be vacuuming. The reason why I like it because central vaks are easy to use, they do a great job, and they're very powerful
0:18
Central vaks are cool because all you really have to cart around the room is just the hose itself
0:24
The actual motor is located at a remote location. It's got hidden pipes in the walls
0:29
it reminds you just of a plumbing system. The pipes transport the dirt from the head all the way out to the outside
0:35
Are you worried about clogs in your central vac? Forget about it. The pipes that are in the walls are much larger than the diameter of the tools that you use in the room
0:43
so it's impossible for a clog to happen back in the walls. It's always best to put the canister or the motor either in a basement or a garage
0:51
and the reason is simple. You need to get the dirt outside and into a garbage can as easily as possible
0:57
and I like the garages for that purpose. Number two, if you put the motor out in the garage
1:02
all of the noise that the motor creates is outdoors and you don't have any noise pollution in your home
1:08
Here's the great news. Central Vax can be put in existing homes often in less than a day
1:12
You can find qualified professional installers by just opening the yellow pages and look under vacuums
1:22
Central Vax are great. Number one, remember they last a long time
1:26
They're affordable. They cost between $800 and $1,200 to install, but that's a one-time charge
