FAQs

What is a Ducted Vacuum?

A Ducted Vacuum, commonly referred to as central vacuum systems, are built into your home for effective cleaning and maximum convenience. 

Is a ducted vacuum system a good option for people with allergies or asthma?

Yes. High quality ducted vacuum systems are designed to remove 100 per cent of dust, bacteria and allergen particles from a room. A normal vacuum cleaner simply can't do this. By installing a ducted vacuum system, you can greatly improve the symptoms of allergies or asthma.

How often do I need to change a ducted vacuum cleaner bag?

This depends on the type of system, the size of the house and the frequency of vacuuming. On average, one bag should last 6 to 12 months.

How expensive are ducted vacuum systems?

There is a misconception that ducted vacuum systems are very expensive and cost the same as ducted heating. This is simply not the case. The good news is that the price is comparable to high quality portable vacuum cleaners. The even better news is that they last a lot longer.

Do blockages occur often?

Blockages occur infrequently because of the large size of the hose in a ducted vacuum system. When they do occur, it is normally small objects that get lodged in a bend of the system. These can be easily fixed and removed by a homeowner (no specialist skills required).

How much stronger are ducted vacuum systems compared to portable vacuums?

A lot! The motors of a ducted vacuum system are more robust as they are not designed to be portable. The end result is a stronger, longer lasting system that requires only minimal repairs and servicing.
