How long does a central vacuum last?

It can depend on the frequency of use, but most ducted vacuum systems last 20 to 30 years in New Zealand, which is much longer than portable options. They’re low maintenance, but regular servicing will keep your central vacuum in good condition for longer.

Where does central vacuum dust go?

When you use a central vacuum system, the ducts carry the dirt away through the walls. It ends up at the main unit, which you’ll have installed in an accessible part of the house that’s out of the way. There’s usually a bag or canister where the debris collects. You’ll need to empty it a few times a year, depending on the capacity.

Do central vacuums increase home value?

Yes, sometimes they do. It can depend on the market and awareness of the benefits of the system. Central vacuums are sought-after products in New Zealand for those with allergies or asthma. These systems make more sense for medium and large properties. You’ll get the added convenience and perhaps a small increase in the price of your home.

Bagged ducted systems

Filters

Most systems come with filters, or you can upgrade to a specific one. For example, HEPA filtration is a popular and efficient choice in New Zealand for those with allergies.

Accessories
