Is Your Home Ready for the Chill?

With several remaining weeks of nearly perfect weather remaining, thoughts are starting to turn to the fall and winter heating season and how best to prepare for it.

Is there enough insulation in the attic or over the garage?
Is the furnace in good working order?
Is it time to re-caulk around windows and doors?

Another thing to consider should be the air quality in your home. Afterall, the windows will likely stay shut in most American homes from November to March. That means the air quality inside the home could get worse. The pet dander, dust mites, other allergens and smoke from the fireplace or elsewhere, will be trapped.

As you know, BEAM Central Vacuum Systrems improve indoor air quality by completely removing contacted dirt and allergens from the living area.

If you own a system there are a couple of things you should consider this fall to keep your central vacuum system at peak performance.

Empty the system's collection bucket. Doing so now will mean less frequent trips to a cold garage or basement this winter.

Clean the tubing system. Most BEAM dealers offer specially design cloths that remove dust residue from central vacuum inlet valves and tubing. Simply vacuum the cloth into the system and it will clean the tubing all the way to the collection bucket.
