Why Your Home Needs a Central Vacuum System

Traditional vacuum cleaners can negatively impact your indoor air quality. When a portable vacuum is used, the air it pulls in must be expelled somewhere—and unfortunately, it's usually released right back into your home. You may notice it as an unpleasant smell or see dust particles floating in the sunlight.



Is Your Vacuum Affecting Your Air Quality?

While portable vacuums come with filters designed to trap dust, allergens, and bacteria, they often fail to fully contain harmful particles. As a result, these particles are reintroduced into the air you breathe, aggravating allergies and worsening respiratory conditions. In contrast, an Element® Central Vacuum system vents the vacuumed air outside, ensuring that only clean air circulates in your living spaces. With an Element Central Vacuum, almost all dust, bacteria, allergens, and viruses are safely expelled from your home, significantly enhancing indoor air quality.

Key Benefits of a Central Vacuum System

Research supports the idea that central vacuums can improve indoor air quality and provide relief for allergy sufferers. Studies from the University of California at Davis found that central vacuums helped reduce allergy symptoms, including:

• 47% reduction in nasal allergy symptoms
• 48% reduction in non-nasal allergy symptoms
• 61% reduction in eye allergy symptoms
• 44% reduction in sleep-related allergy symptoms

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air and ranks among the top health risks. A central vacuum system can significantly improve your home’s air quality, creating a cleaner, healthier environment for your family.
