How does a Central Vacuum System improve indoor air quality?

Powerful Suction
The system's great suction power allows you to vacuum with ease, meaning that you don’t have to redo the same area over and over again. It also allows ease of vacuuming carpeted areas, having great suction gives you peace of mind that all dirt and dust particles will be lifted from even the thickest of carpets and mats.

Stops Dust Recirculating
Most central vacuum systems are installed away from main living areas in rooms such as the utility or garage, so all the dust and dirt are directed into the unit and filtered before being exhausted to outside. Central vacuum systems allow you to have a cleaner home and help to improve poor indoor air quality which can in turn improve our health. Having less dust and dirt in your home provides comfort and safety especially for children, you won’t have to worry about your children picking up germs or being susceptible to irritants as they will be all vacuumed up away from living spaces.

Accessories

There is large range of Sachvac accessories and tools available, these allow you to clean a large range of different surfaces in your home. These accessories include wall brushes, pet hair brushes, dust brushes and upholstery tools!

Filtration

Filters are beneficial in a vacuum as they reduce pollutants through the vacuum system to outdoor air. The filters stop dust and other particles from being extracted to the atmosphere. Central vacuum systems are not only beneficial to our indoor air quality, but are also beneficial to outdoor air quality, when using a central vacuum system, you are limiting pollutants from reaching outside.

Each one of our units has filters, these are:     

-       Sachvac Eco Unit: Antibacterial + fibre disc

-       Sachvac Dynamic Range: HEPA + Pro Tecta

-       Sachvac Digital Range: HEPA + Pro Tecta

-       Sachvac Integra Unit: Dust bag and filter

Asthma & Allergies

Most of us don’t realise that the time we spend indoors between home and work, we actually spend 90% of our time indoors. Indoor air quality can be from 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor. Therefore, poor indoor air quality can cause all sorts of illnesses like asthma, lung cancer and respiratory infections.

Having a central vacuum system can reduce the risk of asthma and allergies by having less irritants in the air. Not only could this improve the risk of allergies and asthma in your home which would be caused by dust, dirt and other particles, it can also reduce symptoms of people who have asthma or have allergies already.

It’s hard to believe but Ireland now has one of the highest rates of Asthma in the world. There has been a significant increase in the last decade. One of the main causes is dust mites in the home. A dust mite can lay up to 300 eggs in its lifetime and produces three times its weight in excrement which is full of allergens.

This is where a central vacuum system excels. Central vacuum systems reduce the number of allergens in your home by extracting the dirt, dust, mould, pollen, and pet dander out of your carpet and furnishings. The unit is usually located in a garage or remote section of your house, therefore, getting rid of all nasty irritants.

Central Vacuum Systems improve

indoor air quality but reducing up to

60% of airborne dust!

Conventional vacuums re-circulate the dust, but central vacuums actually reduce airborne dust and pollen by a whopping 60%. For all the clean freaks out there, you simply won’t get a deeper clean and the wide range of accessories available means nowhere is out of reach. For the rest of us, a central vacuum system means you don’t have to vacuum or dust as often – how great does that sound!
