Hello,
I am tired of carrying my vacuum cleaner through the house all the time. I have seen that you can also install a central vacuum system. Is it a very big effort, or is it possible to install it even if you already live in the house?

Hey, I used to earn some extra pocket money by cleaning, and they had this vacuum cleaner that I didn’t like. When switching attachments, the floor actually got dirtier again. And as you’ve already mentioned, if something gets stuck inside, it becomes difficult to deal with.
The small filter screen included between the hose and the wall got clogged quite quickly (they also had a dog). I’m not sure if their model was just poorly designed, but something like that wouldn’t work for me.
Best regards
Oh, and to explain about things getting stuck: the filter screen was so delicate that it easily tore with slightly larger items (like a small Lego brick, for example).

Hello everyone!
It’s really not that bad with the central vacuum system, and not expensive either... I saw it at friends’ houses and was really impressed.
Another acquaintance installed it later during a renovation, following the saying “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Our system runs without any issues, and my wife is a real cleaning fanatic. Once I even had to fish her underwear out of the pipe. Haha, with a drain snake it was no problem.

A central vacuum system is a real dream. Ideally, you should install one during the house construction. It saves time and mess and can be better planned. But installing it afterward still works well. If you have it done properly and the system runs smoothly, you definitely won’t regret it. It’s really convenient.
In an emergency, you can also improvise. For example, my father simply made a hole in the basement ceiling at the spot where our fireplace is located above in the living room and routed the vacuum pipe upward. So now the vacuum unit is mounted on the basement ceiling and collects the fireplace dust from above. Everything works via remote control. Of course, this is not a solution for a whole-house system, but if you only need it for one specific area, this solution is very practical and, above all, cost-effective.

Since I didn’t want to start a new thread, I’d like to bring this topic back.
We are planning to install a central vacuum system at our home. However, the information available online about manufacturers and recommendations is quite limited, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with this?
The following manufacturers were offered to us:
- Nilfisk Suprema 150 (Danish supplier and also a well-known manufacturer)
- Elvacu System Air TR 250
- Thomas Anlage14-201 (German manufacturer)
- CycloVac (Canadian manufacturer)
- etc...
What are your experiences? What should you pay attention to? Switching on/off via control voltage or radio frequency? Is stepless regulation necessary, yes or no? Is soft start a must or not?
Looking forward to your feedbackI would be interested as well... Have you made a decision yet??

This year we are building a 180 m² (1937 sq ft) house and are considering installing a ZSS. We received a quote from Fawas, and without negotiation, the cost for the system and piping alone is around €1350. Since this is planned in the new construction, I think the installation will be straightforward. The price seems very reasonable to me, especially since proper planning is included.
Regards
Joe
