How it works

Quietly built into the bones of your home.

  1. 1

    Tubing in the walls

    Discreet tubing runs through interior walls, attic, basement, or crawlspace, connecting inlets to the power unit.

  2. 2

    Power unit out of earshot

    The motor lives in your garage, basement, or utility room, so all you hear is the quiet hush of airflow.

  3. 3

    One inlet per 700-900 sq ft

    Most homes need just three inlet valves for full coverage, floor to ceiling.

  4. 4

    100% carried away

    Contacted dirt, dander, and allergens leave the living space entirely, nothing recirculates.

A healthier home

Put your allergies behind you.

Unlike portable vacuums that can recirculate dusty air, a BEAM system removes 100% of contacted dirt, dust mites, pollen, and pet dander from your living space, carrying it away to the power unit in your garage or basement.

In a clinical study at the University of California, Davis, allergy sufferers who switched to a BEAM Central Vacuum System reported a 44-61% improvement in sleep, nasal, eye, and emotional symptoms.

What our customers say

I went to the Beam Showroom after speaking with them on the phone. They were patient, gave a full demonstration of the different options and answered all my questions. Installation was very professional and quick. I would highly recommend them.

BEAM installed our vacuum system more than 10 years ago. The serviceman was very professional, did a great job and it was more than worth the price. The vacuum works better than ever and we probably added several years to the life of it.

This is my second purchase of a Beam vacuum system in St. Louis. We recently moved and couldn't wait to have it installed in our new house, we bought the system before we bought our couch! Working with Beam was a professional pleasure, from order to install.
