Unlike conventional vacuums that can recirculate dust, a Beam system removes 100% of contacted dirt, dust mites, pollen, dander and other allergens and carries them away from living areas—to help improve indoor air quality. Research has proven that a Beam system provides measurable relief for allergy sufferers—as much as 61%!. A Beam system makes for a cleaner home and healthier living, even if you don't suffer from allergies.

The American Lung Association has selected Beam Central Vacuum Systems for its Health House® national demonstration project.

Up to five times more powerful than an upright vacuum, a Beam Central Vacuum System deep cleans carpets, upholstery, draperies, wood and tile. You'll even dust less often!

Indoor Air Quality Facts

•	Air pollution contributes to lung disease, including respiratory tract infections, asthma and lung cancer. Lung disease claims close to 335,000 lives in America every year and is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Over the past decade, the death rate for lung disease has risen faster than for almost any other major disease. — American Lung Association
•	Indoor air quality is two to five times — and occasionally 100 times worse than outdoor air! And it is estimated most people spend 90% of their time indoors! — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
•	87% of American homeowners are not aware that pollution may be worse inside their homes than outdoors. — American Lung Association
•	Six out of 10 homes and buildings are "sick" and are hazardous to occupants. — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
•	Allergy and asthma are increasing at epidemic proportions — affecting one out of five Americans. — American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
•	More than 15 million Americans are estimated to have asthma, including one in 13 school-age children. — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
•	About 500,000 hospital admissions and 5,000 deaths are attributed to asthma annually. — Online Allergy Center
•	An estimated 100 million days are lost to asthma each year and asthma causes 10 million days of school absences annually. Direct and indirect expenses related to asthma are estimated at more than $6 billion a year. — Online Allergy Center
•	Dust, dander, mold, mites, pollen and other allergens make millions of allergy and asthma sufferers miserable in their own homes. Homes with pets require extra-thorough, deep cleaning.
•	Homes built after 1979 have tighter insulation wraps — trapping smoke, odors and other contaminants indoors.
•	Central vacuum systems provide cleaner indoor air by efficiently removing particles without stirring up microscopic dust particles and re-emitting them into the interior of the home. The vacuum receptacle is vented outside of the living space keeping the air inside free of pollutants. — The Healthy House Institute
