Spencer central vacuum systems promote better indoor air quality

Indoor air quality is a serious and growing environmental issue that is effectively addressed by Spencer central vacuum cleaning systems. In schools, healthcare facilities and other institutional settings, they reduce airborne contaminants that trigger allergic reactions and airborne particles that cause eye, nose and throat irritation, respiratory infections and bronchitis.

Everything vacuumed up by a Spencer system is permanently removed. Our central systems are vented to the outside; they do not recontaminate cleaned rooms with ultrafine particles that pass through the filters of in-room vacuum cleaners.

Each system is custom-designed for its location. The main modules (vacuum producer and separators) are placed in a central location and connected to various rooms and facilities via a metal tubing network. Spencer offers comprehensive selections of tubing and fittings, along with vacuum attachments, hoses and cleaning tools. Specialized hoses and tools make it easy to clean stairs, labs, carpeted and hard-surfaced floors - even pool areas, locker rooms and auditoriums.

Our systems typically run continuously while buildings are occupied, so they are constantly available for use. They can be designed to carry out a number of functions beyond cleaning - oral evacuation in dental clinics, hood exhausts for college laboratories, paper dust collection in post offices…the opportunities are as varied as the needs.
