No More Clunky Cleaning Machines. Do you remember climbing out of your car to lift a heavy garage door-- in the rain? Or stretching a phone cord across the kitchen through the bowl of applesauce while you tried to reach the oven before your pot roast burned? Certain modern conveniences, like automatic garage door openers and cordless phones, bring a degree of ease into our daily lives, leading us to wonder how we lived without them. Yet most of us continue to lug heavy, cumbersome vacuum cleaners around the house, straining our backs and nicking the woodwork without question. With a Vacuflo system, you simply attach the end of the hose to the inlet valves located throughout your home, and go.

For the ultimate in convenience, opt for one of our unique hose management products - Hide-A-Hose, Vroom or Spot. These retractable hose systems provide convenient cleaning for all areas of the home!

A range of Vacuflo accessories make whole-house cleaning easy. Once you make the switch to the right central vac system, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to make this necessary chore less time consuming, strenuous and awkward. People who loathe vacuuming more than any other household task love their Vacuflo system because it is nearly effortless to use, convenient and powerfully effective!

With a Vacuflo unit, you’ll have a canister located in the basement, garage, or utility closet near the power unit. The canister is see-through, so you know when it needs to be emptied, but even if you forget to look, as a Vacuflo customer you can receive a courtesy email every three months to remind you to empty your canister.

Who needs more noise in their world? When you choose your central vac system, you shouldn’t have to trade performance for noise level. Some central vacs are so loud they sound like four portable vacuum cleaners running at the same time. Ouch. The Vacuflo system is so quiet, you can run it while your child (or spouse) is napping.

How difficult is it to find reliable installers? Can my existing home be retro-fitted for the system, or can it only be used in new construction? Choose the system backed by quality installers located nationwide. The performance of any central vac system can be adversely affected by improper installation. When you choose Vacuflo, you have the peace of mind of working with a nationwide organization of certified dealers who install central vac systems as part of their core business.

Both new construction and retrofitting are easily accomplished by quality dealers, often in one or two days. Because they are skilled and trained in central vacs, not only are the systems properly installed; Vacuflo dealers approach each job with the consumer’s convenience in mind, as opposed to the installer’s convenience. That means you’ll get to work with a dealer who designs a schematic layout of inlet valves based on cost, optimal performance and how you plan to use your system, with an attention to detail you’ll appreciate every time you vacuum (no valves installed behind doors or other inconvenient spots, for example).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that indoor air pollution is America’s most serious environmental health problem. The American College of Allergists reports that 50% of all illnesses are caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. Poor indoor air quality can be caused by several factors: today’s more tightly sealed housing construction, synthetic building materials and furnishings, and chemically formulated household products. Since most people spend 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality can affect health, safety and comfort, especially in children and the elderly. Vacuflo eliminates 100% of vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens, creating a healthier home, unlike portable vacuum cleaners, which re-circulate portions of the dust and allergens they intake. Your home will look better, smell fresher and offer cleaner air with a Vacuflo system. In fact, University of California Davis School of Medicine found that allergy sufferers’ symptoms can be improved up to 61% when using a central vacuum system. According to the U.S. EPA, using central vacuum systems that are vented to the outdoors can significantly reduce dust mites, pollens, animal dander and other allergy causing agents from your home.

Vacuflo central vac systems offer accessories for every cleaning need in your home, basement, garage and workshop. Particularly popular is the Chameleon, which at the flip of a small switch on a baseplate, opens up an intake slot that allows you to brush or sweep everyday debris like crumbs or pet hair directly into the automatically activated vacuum system. Perfect for high traffic areas like kitchens, the Chameleon allows for quick cleanups without even having to get out the vacuum hose.

All Vacuflo accessories can be easily purchased through our network of over 300 certified dealers or direct from the manufacturer via this website.

What Kind of Track Record Does the Company Have? Vacuflo central vac systems are manufactured by H-P Products, an American company in the vacuum system business since 1955. Our customers and dealers know they can rely upon the stability of our company when they need installation, additional or replacement parts and accessories, or in the event they need to activate their Lifetime Limited Warranty. Before you decide on which central vac system you’ll buy, research the history and warranty provisions of other companies and their products.

Our Lifetime Limited Warranty is the most comprehensive warranty in the industry. Vacuflo covers ALL permanently installed components. This includes the canister body, dirt canister, motor, circuit board, on-board inlet valve, motor brushes, tubing and fittings, low-voltage wiring and inlet valves. Vacuflo's warranty also carries an additional one year of labor coverage on Filtered Cyclonic units, and True Cyclonic units have three years of labor coverage.

Cost is an equation of quality, time, energy and materials. While the initial cash outlay of a central vac system may be greater than that of a portable vacuum cleaner, the long term costs can actually be lower in the long run. There was a time when a good vacuum cleaner was a solid investment that lasted for years. Today’s portable sweepers seem to be designed with obsolescence in mind. Even if you spend upwards of $500 on a quality portable vacuum cleaner, you are still dealing with the weight, inconvenience and costs that go along with it, as well as the prospect of replacement at some point. A Vacuflo central vac system, on the other hand, is an investment in powerful performance, significantly cleaner indoor air, and convenience that will most likely last the life of your home, and even increase its resale value. As one home builder quoted, "When prospective clients come through my homes, the two things they comment upon most are granite countertops and central vac systems."

Quiet, Clean and Suitable for Green. Because the Vacuflo central vac system reduces noise pollution and significantly improves indoor air quality, many consumers opt for the Vacuflo system when building "green" homes, or those that adhere to strict environmental standards in order to maintain the least impact on the environment.
