QUESTION: Buying new house and considering central vacuum scheme for two story 2800
square foot house for about $3500.00
Is this reasoanble idea or should I stick with an Oreck or some other make.
Opinions and recommendations requested.
Thank you,
ANSWER: I've considered putting in a central vacuum system. In the long-run, I
think they are more cost effective than buying a new vacuum cleaner every
few years. In addition, they are quieter, more powerful, and release no
dust into your home. I think that $3500 seems a bit expensive, especially
for new construction where the installation should be very quick and easy.
I would get a few more estimates and/or consider installing the system
yourself unless money isn't a issue.
daughter just installed a central vac system. The house was already
plumped for one so it wasn't too expensive. If you house is not already
plumbed there's were the expensive comes in.
Only negative report I had is from a friend livng in Florida.....she
said the further she got from the motor source the more the suction
seems to weaken. That could be rectified with a stronger motor.
Something to consider since your house is so big and 2 story to boot.
