Vacuum Systems for Your Home
A central vacuum system can help reduce the risk of allergies caused by dust and irritants in the home. The average house collects around 40 pounds of dust per year, by using a central vacuum system you can reduce up to 60% of airborne dust and pollen within your home.
Central Vacuum Kits
A Central Vacuum kit is based on how may vacuum points are required for your size of home.
We recommend that you use an 8-meter hose to provide an easy to use system and you can either determine the number of wall inlets by:
- Measuring each room ensuring that an 8-meter hose will reach all areas
- Using the relationship of 50m2 for each inlet.
Based on the home square footage used above, divide that value by 50. Always round up for estimating purposes. For example, using a 280m2. Home Size of 280 / 50 = 5.6. Round up to 6 inlets.
We specialise in the highest quality heat recovery ventilation kits suitable for any competent tradesperson or homeowner to install.
Central Vacuum Installation
Central Vacuum units can be placed almost anywhere in your home, please ensure there is easy access for emptying the unit. The most common areas for them to be placed:
- Garage

The unit is connected to valves in your wall via a system of ductwork that is installed within your walls. These systems can be installed DIY, or we can provide one of our trusted installers in your area across the UK and Ireland.
We recommend installing a central vacuum system at time of building or renovating. These systems can be retrofitted but the installation process may be obtrusive.
