Recent trends see New Zealand homes being built to achieve air tightness. While this does improve the energy-efficiency of homes, it also means less air circulation and a decline in air quality. The quality of the air inside the home can be worse than people think.

The HE (High Efficiency) heavy-duty motors in our Cleaning Systems means stonger suction yet 30% less energy consumption, PLus;

• The complete removal of allergens, dirt and dust being vacuumed from the room encourages fresh air to be drawn into and re-circulated, thus improving the air quality in the room.
• This design feature sets a Beam Central Cleaning System apart from other forms of cleaners.

The Beam Alliance series was evaluated by the NZ Asthma Foundation over a six month period and is now the only Central Vacuum System recommended to help allergy sufferers, as well as asthma and hay-fever sufferers.

• You vacuum with a lightweight hose, no pulling around a heavy cleaner and marking the corners and walls of your home.
• The average vacuum weights 7kg, BEAM vacuum's (hose & handle) weighs 3kg.
• 10m Hose for convenient cleaning
• Hose covers can be purchased for extra protection.

• The hose trails up behind you when you are cleaning the stairs, no carrying a heavey cleaner or tripping over cords.
• Eliminates the risk of over-balancing, making it safer and easier.

The Power Unit is installed in the garage, so no noisey vacuuming, no drop in suction as the bucket fills, 15-20 litre capacity, you only have to empty 3 or 4 times a year. No bags required.

The suction power of vacuum cleaners is rated in Airwatts.

• An Airwatt is a measurement unit of the effectiveness of Vacuum Cleaners. This refers to airflow and the amount of suction power a vacuum cleaner produces
• Below is a comparison of types of vacuum cleaners available, the motors and Airwatts generated.
• A stick, vacuum cleaner 120-185 airwatts
• A pull around, vacuum cleaner 100-280 airwatts
• A Beam Central Vacuum System 600-700 airwatts

Because the Power Unit of a Beam is a stationary unit, the motor can be considerably larger providing stronger suction.

• Weight is not a problem, as it is in portable cleaners.
• A Beam system will have greater Airwatts and thus more suction power than any other vacuum cleaners available.

The AlphaSan Bucket

The "press and click" dirt bucket is infused with the anti-microbial agent AlphaSan® preventing bacteria growth on the bucket.

The average household only needs to empty the 15Ltr bucket 3 -4 times a year.

Your power unit is usually installed in the garage which means that there is very little noise in the house while you are vacuuming. There is only a sucking noise at the cleaning head on the floor.

• You won't disturb people who are sleeping.
  You turn the system on and off from a switch on the handle of the hose.
• If the phone rings you can turn it off, with your thumb
• You can also control the amount of suction that you require.
• Really good when you want less suction when you're vacuuming a rug or, dusting around a delicate object.
