Clean indoor air with BEAM
For Melanie and her husband Paul, building their family home was a dream come true. At the top of their wish list was both a BEAM Central Vacuum System and Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery System.
The couple installed a BEAM Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery System (MVHR) which compliments the BEAM Central Vacuum System to provide clean indoor air for life.
Melanie created an Instagram account @home.at.number39 to document life decorating and furnishing the home and is a source of interior inspiration for over 8,500 followers across Ireland and UK.
A few years on, the family are well settled into life in their forever home and enjoying the benefits of the BEAM Central Vacuum System and Heat Recovery Ventilation System installed.
Both systems installed provide measurable relief for asthma and allergy sufferers. The Beam Vacuum System removes all dust and debris within the home to the central unit, so there’s no recirculated dusty air in the home The Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery System removes the stale air within the home and replaces it with fresh filtered air from outside with help from the F7 Pollen filters which remove pollutants and insects which would otherwise enter the home via open window or trickle vents.
In the kitchen and bathrooms, the extract ventilation valves are designed to extract moist, stale air. This air is replaced with fresh filtered air coming into the home through the supply valves. This air has passed through the heat exchanger within the ventilation unit and recovers up to 95% of heat which would otherwise be lost if the house had had trickle vents on the windows and conventional extractor fans in the bathrooms.
“We have supply and extract ventilation valves throughout the home which are discretely located in the ceilings. They get rid of all steam and condensation from the bathrooms and kitchen, so we never have to open the windows. There is no noise from them – they simply work away 24 hours a day.”

Cleaning Convenience with a BEAM Vacuum System
Paul was very familiar with a BEAM Central Vacuum System, as there was one installed in his family home. He contacted BEAM when finalising his own house plans as he knew it was a must when building his own family home.
“My husband Paul grew up with a BEAM Vacuum system in his family home, so it was always something we were going to have in our own home too. At the planning stage we thought about everything we wanted to put into our self-build and both the BEAM Vacuum and Heat Recovery Ventilation systems were pretty much at the top of that list!”

“We chose the BEAM Vacuum System as it’s a lot more powerful than a normal vacuum and a lot quieter. The connection points are located all around the house which we colour matched to our plugs and light switches. They are so easy to use – just flip the cover down, insert the hose and you’re good to go. The long vacuum hose reaches all the way up the stairs and onto my landing so there’s no need to haul a heavy portable vacuum about. It’s great!”

Melanie’s favourite part of the BEAM vacuum system is the kitchen vacpan.
“A kitchen vacpan was also installed as part of the Beam vacuum system. I was amazed when I saw it and just knew with a busy house of kids it would make cleaning much easier. It’s discretely located on the kickboard in the kitchen island. After the kids have eaten, it’s so easy to brush crumbs to the vacpan, flip the switch with my toe and all is swept away! This makes it so easy to use at any time of the day.”

The BEAM Vacuum also comes with a range of accessories for cleaning everything in the home. Melanie uses the 3-in-1 cleaning tool for vacuuming sofas, soft furnishings, window areas and even the skirting boards perfect for every corner of the home.
In Paul & Melanie’s home, the BEAM Vacuum unit is located in a cupboard within the house. This allows for easy access to empty the bin 2-3 times a year and to store the hose alongside the unit.
“The Beam vacuum is also great for pets! We have a Great Dane and even though she has short hair, she can shed a lot depending on the season. I just plug in the hose and clean up quickly.” “The bin only needs emptied at least twice a year which means I don’t have to worry about vacuum bags!”
