Yes, Husky built in vacuum systems can be installed in existing and new homes with no damage or costly alterations.
Patience, a bit of handy-work, and one of our do-it-yourself kits are all you need to get the job done. Husky Vacuums are sold with complete Do-It Yourself instructions. And if you have any questions, our friendly Service Reps are always available to talk you through problems or help with hints and ideas for your particular application.
It is recommended that they be vented out when installed inside the house. However, it is not necessary if installed in the garage.
This depends on the size and the layout of your home. The number of inlets depends on where they can be placed to enable every inch of your home to be vacuumed, including the furthest corner of the room with a 30 ft hose. A rule of thumb is 1 inlet per 1,000 square feet. Obviously your costs will be kept to a minimum with fewer the inlets required, one inlet on the landing could well do the total floor area on that floor, therefore it is possible to have one inlet on the hallway and one inlet on the landing to do the entire house.
Yes, 2" is the optimum size pipe for central vacuum systems.
Yes, our hose will fit all of our competitors' valves.
You unnecessarily increase both material and labour costs. Also convenience is lost because you are retracing your steps to unplug and reconnect the hose more than necessary.
No, Husky manufactures piping to exact standards and tolerances for vacuum purposes only. The plumbing pipe is usually bulk, multipurpose pipe, which can cause poor airflow characters and reduce efficiency.
Yes, competition is 100% 2" tubing and has always been except for a few very early models. Our vacuum cleaner is 100% compatible with competitors 2" tubing. In a few instances the wall mounting bracket or the inlet valves must be changed.
An average of slightly over 20 ft for each inlet valve. This figure could change depending upon house type and should only be used as a reference.
The amount of tubing in the average home is approximately 40 ft. When a system is installed with increased footage up to 250 ft it will be necessary to use a larger power unit to maintain the excellent suction and airflow.
Electric hoses have a 24-volt wire moulded into it for on/off control of the power unit at working point. No volt hoses contain no wiring but turn the power unit on automatically when it is plugged into the wall inlet.
Basements, garages and utilities are the most common areas for installing the unit.
Keep in mind that installing the unit in the garage offers extra advantages i.e.
1. Noise outside,
2. Removes dirt and dust completely outside,
3. Cleans car/garage.
Insertion of the hose in to the inlet valve connects two 24 volt voltage contact points and automatically starts the vacuum. By removing the hose from the inlet the motor is deactivated. We offer an optional extra a remote control hose; this allows you to activate/deactivate the motor from an on/off switch on the end of your hose.
No, all Husky Power Units can be plugged into normal house services outlets.
Low voltage systems carry a 24 volt charge. Similar to that used with speakers and is totally safe to your children.
Our Husky Power unit is designed to detach so that you can take it with you when you move. It will then only be necessary to purchase piping for your new home; the price will only be a percentage of the original cost.
A VacPan is an automatic dustpan that is connected to your Central Vacuum System. Popular in kitchens, bathrooms, workshops... anywhere frequent sweeping is needed. You just open the valve with your foot, sweep dirt and debris into the opening and your Husky takes care of the rest.
Provided that you are using the system as you would your old portable vacuum, for instance picking up household dust and small particles, you should not have any problems with blockages as we have added a few safeguards to prevent long objects like pens getting stuck due to its incredible suction.
Just as every home is different in size and layout, so must the system be that accommodates it. For an accurate price quote for installing a system into your home, you can email us floor plans, or call our office to get a quote. 3. Inlet systems start as low as €1100.00 and fluctuate depending on the size of the house, and the quality of the product you choose.
Perhaps people think that only carpets need vacuuming but wooden floors get dusty too, as do laminate floors and tiled floors. Or maybe they plan to sweep the floors clean with a broom, but brooms simply disturb dust. At the first sweep the dust flies up and hovers in the air until you've finished sweeping and then floats back down to the floor. Fit our general purpose floor brush (as supplied with all our hose kits) to the end of the vacuum hose and suck up the dust before it has a chance to escape. The floor brush just glides across the floor and is low enough to go under the edges of furniture. You'll find it so easy you may even be tempted to throw out your carpets!
