The following assumes that you understand the basic principles of a central vacuum system and that you have an approximate idea of what you want. If you need more information, visit What is a CVC? or A Guide to installing a Central Vacuum System.

For a complete vacuum system you will need to choose :

A vacuum unit
The number of vacuum sockets required
Colour and type of vacuum socket
The length of flexible hose required
Switched or unswitched handle on hose?

How to choose the right system - the choice will depend on the following :

The position of the vacuum unit

Ideally sited out of the living areas in a garage, basement, outhouse or loft. It can also be installed in a utility room or cupboard under the stairs.

The length of flexible hose

What length of flexible hose do you want to use? The standard length is generally regarded as 9 metres (30ft) and, as this is the most common length available, it is also the most economical. However, a shorter hose is easier to use, so you may want consider the option of a 7.5m (25 ft) hose. Usually a shorter hose means one or two extra sockets are required.

The number and position of the vacuum sockets

Site the vacuum sockets in common areas (such as the hall or landing) where more than one room can be cleaned from each socket. From each socket you should be able to reach into the furthest corners of the room(s) to be cleaned with the length of hose chosen. Don't forget that there is up to another metre of extending steel tube at the end of the hose. Typically, a 3/4 bedroomed house requires 3 sockets - one on the ground floor, one upstairs and one in the garage. A 4/5 bedroomed house would require five sockets - 2 on the ground floor, 2 upstairs and one in the garage.

The vacuum unit required

This will depend almost entirely on the length of the longest run of pipe, i.e. the length of pipe from the vacuum unit to the furthest socket in the system. The 3 factors above will determine the length of the longest run of pipe. This figure will indicate which vacuum unit you require. (As you proceed through this page, note down your choices so that you can make the correct selection for your shopping basket.)

Guarantee: Our vacuum units are very conservatively rated. When choosing a unit people are often tempted to go for the next model up "just in case". But having too much suction will make vacuuming hard work because the vacuum head will stick to the floor making it difficult to move the vacuum head around. In the unlikely event that the vacuum unit you buy does not give required suction then we will accept that unit back, replace it with the next model up and only charge the difference.

The EF range of vacuum units is very conservatively rated. For example, our best selling model, EF1410, is recommended for a maximum pipe run of 20m, which means that its performance over a 20m pipe run plus the length of a flexible hose is impressive. Others may suggest much longer runs of pipe for vacuum units with similar specifications. However, with a longer the run of pipe, there is a greater loss of airflow, so consequently a more powerful vacuum unit is required. If you want to compare quotations just email all the details to us and we will quote against your specifications "like for like"- we will always offer better value for money.

Exclusive range of Vacuum Sockets

There are 2 types of socket : the Millennium and the Designer.

Hoses

There are 3 types of flexible hose available - a standard (unswitched) crushproof hose and two types of crushproof hose with a switched handle.

	Standard hose

				The standard hose turns the vacuum unit on when the end of the hose is inserted into a vacuum socket. The vacuum unit stops when the hose is removed from the socket. The generally accepted normal length of a standard hose is 9 metres, although a shorter hose is usually preferable and we recommend 7.5m. A 10 metre version is also available.

	Switched hose

A switched hose has an on/off switch in the handle which allows the vacuum unit to be controlled from the handle without removing the other end of the hose from the vacuum socket.

We recommend a 7.5 metre hose as being the easiest to manage. However, 9 and 10 metre versions are also available.

Hose with sliding on/off switch and swivel handle

Hose with rocker on/off switch on handle
