If you have wall-to-wall carpets in your home, consider adding a central vacuum system for ease of use, a healthy, allergy and dust free home.

This system work with pipes that are installed in the walls (during building of a home) or above the ceiling (existing homes) with the power unit in the garage and inlets in the walls at central and convenient locations inside the home. All you have to do is insert the hose into any of these inlets, switch on the unit on the hose handle and you are ready to go. No more dragging around of heavy and cumbersome machines - this system is more quiet and more healthy and even increases the value of your home.
