24 May What Are the Pros and Cons of a Whole House Vacuum System?

Ever thought of installing a whole-home vacuum system in your house? The claims of vacuum system manufacturers seem pretty attractive: more power, no more hauling around a vacuum, etc. But is a whole-home vacuum system really a good choice?

The argument for a whole-home vacuum system:

• It’s much quieter than a regular vacuum.
• You won’t have to lug a huge vacuum up the stairs or across the house.
• You’ll have cleaner air and fewer allergens with the vacuum being in a central location (usually the garage or basement).
• Whole-home vacuums last a long time and add value to your property.

The argument against:

• They’re very expensive and can use more electricity than a regular vacuum.
• It can be incredibly difficult to install a system if your house has already been built.
• If the pipe gets clogged (which is rare if the vacuum is installed correctly), it could require you to open up a wall to unclog it, which can be incredibly expensive.
