WEBSTER CITY, Iowa – Builders can earn five points toward meeting new green building standards with the quietest, most powerful and the smartest central vacuum system ever built, the Beam Serenity^® IQS^™.

 

“The Beam Serenity IQS brings fresh thinking to central vacuums and a healthy living environment for homeowners,” says Larry Hartley, vice president of sales and marketing for Beam Central Vacuum Systems.

 

With 640 air watts of cleaning power -- up to 25 percent more than competitive systems, the Beam Serenity IQS improves indoor air quality by completely removing more dirt and allergens from the living area. Its collection receptacle Beam also offers AlphaSan^®, a permanent anti-microbial agent infused into the collection bucket that prevents formation and growth of mold. Because of its contributions to improved indoor air quality, the National Association of Homebuilders’ new national green building standards will award five indoor environmental quality certification points to homes equipped with the system.

 

A bright blue liquid crystal display (LCD) on the Serenity IQS power unit provides real-time information telling the homeowner how efficiently the system is performing, when to check the dirt level in the collection receptacle and when to contact a dealer for service. It also provides accurate time and temperature information.

 

Quiet doesn’t stop with the Serenity IQS power unit. The companion Beam Q electric power brush also delivers quiet deep cleaning for carpets and other flooring surfaces.

 

With three levels of height adjustment the Beam Q PowerTeam^™ assures the highest level of carpet cleaning effectiveness. Convenient on-board tools and a QuickRelease^™ wand system make the Beam Q not only the quietest, but also the easiest to use central vacuum power team available. The Q also comes with a factory-installed nylon quilted hose sock, to protect wood floors, wall corners and furniture.

 

“A Beam Central Vacuum System delivers superior, quiet, powerful cleaning capability and a healthier living environment. It’s the kind of fresh-thinking builders want and buyers expect in a new home,” says Hartley.

 

The Beam Serenity IQS Power Unit and Beam Q PowerTeam are available exclusively from Beam’s 800 independent U.S. dealers. For more information or to locate a dealer, visit www.beam.com.
