For a complete central vacuum installation, you will need at least one item from the following categories:
When purchasing a central vacuum cleaner you will need to buy 3 things. First is the power unit, which is the main vacuum to be put somewhere in your house like the garage or basement. Second is an accessory kit, which is your hose, power head and tools. Third is your installation kit, which includes all the fittings, glue and other materials needed to install your central vacuum.
Why Choose a Central Vacuum?
There are many reasons people enjoy their central vacuums over conventional vacuums. For starters, central vacuum systems are an investment that maintains it's value at all times, and in most cases, will increase the value of your home. They are 100 percent filtration, all of the dust that you collect leaves the living environment entirely. None of the dust re-circulates and resettles on your furnishings like when using most conventional vacuum cleaners. Since they are considered a home improvement, they are sale tax free in most areas.
Our Recommendations
The most important thing when purchasing a central vacuum cleaner is that the system will be in the house as long as you own it, so make sure that your installation is with super valves (a super valve has low and high voltage in it to control all aspects of your cleaning. ) The best performance indicator in a central vacuum is the amount of air flow at the nozzle. The CFM,(cubic feet per minute) will determine that factor. Today's new motors offer higher CFM then the models of a few years ago. One way to dramatically increase the CFM is to use two motors inside the canister side by side, which will move air faster through the system. When choosing a power nozzle for your central vacuum, consider one with rubber wheels that will allow you to go from your carpeted surfaces to your non-carpeted surfaces with the flip of a switch rather then changing heads.

Modern Day Silent Master S2
Price:$Call For Quote - 1 800 479 VACS (8227)
A twin motor central vacuum system with excellent CFM. Designed for homes up to 6000 square feet. Will deliver premium performance for many years. It uses a 12 gallon capacity paper bag which is inserted into a cloth bag along with three additional filters, all to protect the motors and the exhaust. The average person will use 1 to 2 bags per year. We prefer paper bags over bagless because you don't have to empty as often, and it's generally an easier and cleaner emptying system.

Modern Day Silent Master S4
Price:$Call For Quote - 1 800 479 VACS (8227)
The Silent Master S4 is a single motor central vacuum unit designed for homes up to 6000 square feet. This model is used and recommended primarily for people who have decided not to use super valves, and want to use a lighter weight air driven nozzle. You will find that air driven nozzles are easy and effective, but not as effective as the electric power nozzles powernozzles. Okay for those consumers with a smaller amount of rugs and no pet problems.

Modern Day Silent Master S5
Price:$Call For Quote - 1 800 479 VACS (8227)
is the grand daddy of them all. It houses 2 large motors. Designed for homes up to 25,000 square feet. We have installed S5 units in homes with 20 or more inlets and have never experienced poor performance anywhere. This central vacuum system is overkill in the average size home. But the cost differential from an S2 to an S5 is not that large compared to the difference in performance. The one drawback to the S5 is that it will consume 28 amps of power, and would need heavy duty wiring in a 30 amp line. So in a smaller house it might be a bit costly to operate.
