Q: How Does A Beam Central Vacuum System Work?
A: To create lightweight, powerful cleaning, better air quality and less
noise, the Beam power unit is typically located in the basement or garage,
and is connected to convenient inlets throughout the home via vacuum tubing.
Plug the hose into an inlet and the system is turned on with a switch
on the hose handle. Particles are completely removed from living areas
and collected in the power unit's dirt receptacle.

Q: How Does A Beam System Improve Indoor Air Quality?
A: Unlike upright and canister vacuums, a Beam central vacuum system,
with its dirt receptacle located in the garage or basement, does not exhaust
dirty, allergen-laden air back into the living areas. With up to five
times more suction power, a Beam system removes far more dust, debris
and allergy-causing particles and Beam Powerbrushes are especially effective
to "deep clean" carpets. It's a "must" in tightly
insulated houses and homes where small children and allergy sufferers
are present.

Q: Is The Hose Easy To Use?
A: Beam hoses are extremely lightweight and designed for whole-house cleaning
from floor to ceiling. Unlike short, flimsy hoses found on portable vacuums,
Beam hoses are created to withstand everyday kinks and twists.

Q: Is The Suction Power Maintained Throughout The Home?
A: Yes! A properly installed Beam system offers the same powerful cleaning
performance at every inlet whatever the distance from the power unit.

Q: How Do I Maintain A Beam System?
A: Beam systems are practically maintenance free. No lubrication or cleaning
is ever required. The filter is permanent and self-cleaning. All you need
to do is take a few moments to empty the dirt receptacle two or three
times a year.
BACK TO THE TOP
Q: How Many Inlets Are Needed?
A: Most homes require only three inlets to reach every area with the hose
and attachments. Each strategically located inlet lets you vacuum approximately
700-800 square feet. The power unit features an extra built-in inlet for
easy cleaning of the area around the power unit.

Q: What Cleaning Attachments And Tools Are Available?
A: Beam offers a full complement of tools and attachments for virtually
any cleaning need — from mini blind cleaners to handheld power brushes
to mini-vac tools for cleaning computer keyboards. There are even pet
grooming brushes that attach to your Beam hose.

Q: Can I Use The System To Clean Hardwood, Vinyl or Ceramic Tile Floors?
A: Yes! Use the bare floor tool or install one of our most popular options:
the VacPan® automatic dustpan. It's
ideal for removing debris from the kitchen, bath or mudroom. Simply sweep
trash towards the automatic dustpan, touch the toe switch and use the
power of your Beam to instantly remove it. No more dustpans or stooping
over to pick up swept debris.

Q: Can A Beam System Be Installed In My Present Home?
A: Yes! Virtually any home, from new to decades old, can enjoy the cleaning
power of a Beam system installed in just a few hours without mess or disturbing
walls by one of our professional installers. Your Beam dealer also has
an installation video and illustrated instructions if you'd like to install
a Beam system yourself.

Q: How Much Does A Beam System Cost?
A: A Beam system costs much less than you might expect. The average cost
for a complete system, installed, starts at around $700. And it can add
to your home's resale value. Ask your dealer for a free estimate on installing
a Beam system in your home.
