The Secret to a Healthy Home - Central vacuum cleaning system

By | Published: 24th May, 2007 | Viewed 1834 times It’s a secret many building developers already know, and one most people only become aware of once they start building or renovating their dream home. What makes this secret remarkable is that, once installed, it makes a home healthier to live in, quicker and easier to clean, and enhances the value of your property. What is the secret? A Beam central vacuum cleaning system. More and more people throughout Ireland are installing a Beam central vacuum system for the improved indoor air quality and the dramatic reduction in allergy symptoms – especially in children – that it brings. Unlike traditional vacuum cleaners that can recirculate dirty air, a Beam central vacuum system permanently removes threats caused by dust mites, pollen, and other dangerous allergens into a sealed power unit located away from the living areas. A Happy, Healthy Home “Eliminating dust and allergens is especially important during the winter months,” explains Lisa McGonigle from Beam Vacuum Systems Limited. “To combat the chill at this time of the year, central heating is used more than ever. The bad news is that dust mites thrive as a result”. The house dust mite has a life span of about four months. During this time it produces about 200 times its weight in excrement and lays up to 300 eggs. This makes it clear why the concentration of allergens in a room increases exponentially within a very short time. It is not the mites themselves that contain allergens but their excrement, which are triggers for asthma, eczema and allergic nasal mucous membrane inflammations. Shockingly, Ireland is now ranked among the top four countries in the world with the highest prevalence rates for asthma. A recent study shows that as many as 470,000 people in Ireland are affected. At least 20% of all Irish children have asthma*. The main treatment for dust mites is avoidance — that is, taking measures to minimize the number of dust mites in your home. A Beam central vacuum system delivers more than five times the suction power of traditional vacuums to assure that dust and other allergy-triggering particles are permanently removed away from the living area. The indoor air quality for you and your family is improved by up to 52%. New clinical research from the University of California at Davis has proven that a Beam central vacuum system provides measurable relief for allergy sufferers. There was a 48% reduction in the severity of fatigue, thirst, reduced productivity, tiredness, poor concentration, headaches or feelings of being worn out. How Does Beam Work? You’ll be delighted with just how quiet, fast and easy vacuuming can be. With conveniently located vacuum inlets, you simply plug in the seven metre, lightweight, crush-proof vacuum hose and the remote power unit starts automatically. Versatile cleaning attachments let you clean carpets, wooden floors, tile, upholstery, curtains - even your car and garage. Whether your new home is a townhouse, an apartment, semi-detached or detached, you can have a Beam vacuum system to suit. The best time to install a Beam central vacuum system is at the time of initial construction, an extension or renovation. At this time walls are open and easily accessible, facilitating planning and installation. As with other built-in appliances, investing in a central vacuum system increases the market value of your home. Surprisingly, a Beam system often costs much less than many portable vacuums.
