What is a "central vacuum system"?
A central vacuum system is a cleaning system installed in a building that uses a network of pipes to remove dirt and debris from various rooms. It consists of a motor and a collection canister placed in a central location, such as a garage or basement, and a series of wall-mounted outlets where hoses are plugged in to clean different areas. When the hose is connected to an outlet, the system uses suction to pull dirt through the pipes and into the central canister. Central vacuum systems are efficient, reduce dust, and are often quieter than portable vacuums, making them a popular choice for large homes and buildings.
