Power
The second reason to choose a central vacuum is cleaning power. A central vacuum unit can be as much as five times more powerful than conventional vacuum cleaners and since it is located in a remote location, the sound produced by the central vacuum (without the powerhead) is minimal. It is easy to talk over the sound of an operating central vacuum, and TV, music and telephones are clearly audible.
Finally, a central vacuum eliminates the need to drag a clumsy machine around the house, banging up walls and furniture in the process. Portable vacuums have to be lugged up and down the stairs, and in the case of canister vacuums, they have the potential to fall down the stairs if tugged while cleaning. The dirt capacity in a central vacuum is generous too; it usually requires emptying only once per year. As a final enticement to the homeowner, built-in vacuums typically retain their full value when a home sells and is considered a home upgrade which may increase the value of the home - something that can’t be said for a portable vacuum.
1. Allergies? 100%of pollens, viruses and dust vacuumed are exhausted out of your living area. Conventional vacuum cleaners exhaust back into the air you breathe (Even with a HEPA filter).
2. The cleaning accessories which come with a central vacuum are generally much better quality than those which come with uprights and canister vacuums.
3. A central vacuum is a sales feature which increases the value and sales appeal of your home.
4. Cana-Vac offers a Lifetime Limited Warranty where as most portables offer only a year or two warranty.
Since a central vacuum is usually located in the basement, garage or storage closet, it is much quieter than portable vacuums.

Retrofit to your home
Retrofit Installation
Though it is better to have your home fitted or "roughed in" for a central vacuum during the construction of your home. It is still possible to retrofit your home years later. Approximately 20% of installations are retrofits. Retrofit costs in some cases may be the same as in a new home depending on the level of difficultly.
When choosing your central cleaning system, it is important to first consider the following: 1. How large is your home? 2. Do you have pets and/or children? 3. How much and what type of carpeting do you have? (Thick knap or low knap) 4. Do you have mostly carpeting or hardwood/ceramic flooring? The above considerations will influence what system is best suited for you. In homes which have carpeting, we always recommend the Premium Pack. This is simply because it is a very durable kit, with many features which make the chore of vacuuming much more pleasant. In fact, when working within a budget, it is better to choose a premium accessory package and opt for a less powerful central vacuum than it is to buy the top of the line central vacuum with a basic accessory kit. Choose a system within your budget, yet is powerful enough for the size of your home. Our model of choice is the model 399LS which offers incredible power yet is affordable at the same time (This is our number one selling unit). If your home is so large and you are thinking of installing a dual motor system don't. Dual motor systems do not last nearly as long since they are both competing for the same vacuumed air which makes them run faster. Plus when one motor in dual motor system fails, you may never even know it. It is better to install two separate systems in a very large home, much like you would with an alarm system or furnace. We all know that when it comes to pets and children, there generally tends to be a little more cleanup which is why we offer a large body series which has improved performance and increased dirt capacity making for less frequent emptying. Overall, it is our experience that a model 399LS matched with an Ultra Package is the best suited for the majority of all household applications. Good Luck!
