Duovac has become synonymous with power and cleanliness in the vacuum manufacturing industry.

What is a central vacuum system?

A central vacuum system is a built-in vacuum consisting of a series of hidden tubes, exposed powerhead wall outlets and a powerful suction system. The motorized powerhead is lightweight and easily moved from room to room. It operates when “plugged in” to the outlets. 

The powerhead conveniently removes dirt, dust, and debris, which is delivered to either a debris container typically stored in the garage or basement or a disposable filtration bag. As a result, the debris is managed easily, helping control any particles released during the vacuuming process. Systems come with a variety of attachments and sizes. You also enjoy incredibly quiet operation as the powerful suction system is stored out of the way.

What are the benefits of Duovac vacuum systems?

Duovac central vacuums offer many benefits, including:

• The quietest central vacuum system available
• A hybrid filtration system, allowing you to choose between using a disposable filtration bag or allowing the dust to accumulate in the canister
• HEPA caliber filtration, removing 99.97 % of particles that have a size of 0.3 µm or larger
• Ultra-efficient antibacterial filtration to help eliminate odours on the permanent filter
• Improved air quality in your home
• Full bag or canister warnings
• The best warranty in the industry at no additional cost for up to 25 years on parts

How do I choose the right Duovac system for my home?

When choosing a Duovac central vacuum system, we consider the following before recommending the most suitable model:

• Approximate square footage of your home
• Whether you have pets or not
• The types of flooring in your home

• Whether you are renovating your home and walls are open for installation, or you need access to wall interiors

An assessment of your home will let us know what system is best for your needs.

What is the best overall Duovac system?

The Star line represents Duovac’s best overall value ensuring impressive efficiency, power, and quiet operation. However, it really depends on your needs, so an onsite assessment is always recommended.

• 25-year warranty on the Duovac power unit against manufacturing and/or functional defects
• 5-year warranty on labour costs for repairs made under the warranty 
• Consumables, such as motor carbon brushes and filtration bags are not under warranty
