Transforming Housework in a Busy Family Home with a Beam Central Vacuum System

Sancha & David’s modern, two-storey home is nestled in the heart of the County Down countryside. They began building their dream home in 2019 and started documenting their self build journey on Instagram in 2020.

Before the couple had even started to build, they decided that a Beam Central Vacuum System was a must-have in their future home. David, a Plumbing and Heating Engineer, had seen Beam systems installed in multiple new builds and was impressed by their quality and performance. Sancha had also seen a Beam Vacuum System at a relative’s home, but experiencing the system first-hand at the Self Build Show in Belfast cemented their decision.

BEAM’s technical advisors expertly designed the central vacuum system to suit Sancha & David’s home, which features high ceilings, an open-plan layout and a mix of tiled and carpeted floors.

The Harpers opted to install the system themselves, following the detailed guidance documents supplied with the installation materials. Our technical team was also on-hand to answer any questions they may have had during the process.

Designed to blend effortlessly into any home, Beam’s discreet vacuum inlets are strategically placed around Sancha & David’s home to ensure all areas are within easy reach when the lightweight 9 metre vacuum hose is plugged in.

Their Beam central vacuum unit is housed in the garage, making it both accessible and unobtrusive. The low noise level when vacuuming is an added bonus, and they love that they can monitor when the waste bin needs to be emptied - though, impressively, it hasn’t needed emptying yet!

Life in the Harper household is busy, with two small children and two golden retrievers constantly on the move. Cleaning up after pets and kids used to be time consuming, but the Beam Central Vacuum System has changed that entirely.

The Kitchen Vacpan, which comes as standard with every Beam Central Vacuum System, has been a game changer for quick clean ups - Sancha & David simply have to sweep any dirt, dust or dog hairs to the Vacpan, flick the switch and it’s whisked away!

With no more cleaning out roller brushes or constantly emptying a dustbin, Sancha and David appreciate how much easier vacuuming has become. Even their kids enjoy using the system, thanks to the lightweight hose and versatile attachments.

From deep-cleaning carpets to effortlessly tackling tile floors, a Beam Central Vacuum System delivers outstanding suction power. The system’s versatility ensures that no area in Sancha & David’s house is overlooked. From bedrooms and bathrooms to the garage and living spaces – it has even been used to clean out the car on occasion! Beam has become an essential part of the Harper’s home maintenance routine.

For Sancha and David, investing in a Beam Central Vacuum System was one of the best decisions they made during their build. It has streamlined their vacuuming routine, making cleaning their home easier and less time consuming.
