A Better Way to Clean! NuTone® Central Vacuum Systems Combat Air Pollution in the Home

Hartford, Wis., May 1, 2009 - As the scientific community decodes the effects of poor indoor air quality (IAQ) on human health, consumers want an easy solution to rid the home of disease-causing bacteria and pollutants. According to the EPA, indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of poor indoor air quality. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources.

One easy way to ensure healthy IAQ inside the home is to install a NuTone® Central Vacuum System that is not only powerful, convenient and cost-effective but also protects against potentially harmful particles and bacteria.

“With the NuTone Central Vacuum System, homeowners do not need to sacrifice space to improve IAQ,” according to Tom Heidel, marketing manager, Central Vacuum Systems, Broan-NuTone. “Our new sleek, wall-hugging oval shape of the central vacuum makes installation easy and saves homeowners much needed space. It is also a great investment and similar in price to a portable vacuum.”

The NuTone Central Vacuum System provides unparalleled cleaning power and can pull more dirt and dust out of the house than upright or canister systems. While most portable vacuums release particulates back into the home, the NuTone Central Vacuum system releases these particulates outside while removing pollutants, dust mites and pet dander from inside the home.

Additional features include:

• Lightweight polymer design to resist rust and dents
• Flexible installation for left- or right-intake
• Internal sound suppression system that greatly reduces motor noise
• Uniquely shaped, patent-pending air chamber that increases vacuuming efficiency
• Direct access panel that makes it easy to monitor the self-sealing bag or cyclonic filter – allowing for easy bag changing or filter cleaning
