How
does the system work?
The system is normally
installed during the building of your new home, but can also be
installed in existing homes. Pipes will be built into the walls
(for existing homes, the pipes will run above the ceiling). The
power unit (vacuum machine) will be installed in the garage or basement
with wall inlets at central, convenient locations inside your home. A
VacPanTM can be installed in the kitchen for convenient
removal of dirt using a broom. A nine meter hose is inserted into the wall
inlets and the vacuum is switched on and off using a switch on the hose
handle.
What happens if there is
a blockage in the pipe system?
Back to the top
A blockage should almost
never occur. The diameter of the hose and inlet valve is less than that
of the piping in the walls. We also install a sharp 90 degree bend at
the back of all inlet valves (all other bends in the system are what we
call sweep/slow bends) in order to catch any large object that might
want to go into the system. If a blockage do occur (but as mentioned,
almost never) we would use a steel tape to remove it from the system.
How often should the
machine be cleaned?
Allegro Central Vacuum
Cleaners has a self-cleaning, no maintenance, patented Micro-Fiber
Filtration System, which is permanent and never needs to be replaced or
washed. The dirt collection canister must be emptied every 3 or 4
months.
How is the
system installed in an existing home?
In an existing home tubing will run
above the ceiling and if possible, go down inside built-in cupboards
and then through the walls to central locations. If necessary and
if possible the 50mm tubing will be chased into the wall - this will
mean re-plastering and painting.
What are the benefits of a Built-In Central Vacuum?
Back to the top
-
Healthier air -
Fine dust particles and
other allergens are not blown back into your home as with
conventional vacuum cleaners. Central vacuum systems eliminate
the re-circulation of dirty air inside your living area - all
contacted dirt is completely removed.
-
Convenience - No need to carry a heavy machine up and down
stairs, no power leads to struggle with, just insert the 9 meter hose
into an inlet and vacuum!
-
More
power - Central Vacuums have larger motors and therefore more
power than traditional vacuum cleaners.
-
Less
noise - Because the power unit is located in the garage or
basement, vacuuming is much quieter.
-
Home value - The installation of any permanent
appliance in your home - such as a central vacuum system - will
increase the value when you decide to sell.
