Frequently Asked Questions

How large a home will the Beam 475 central vacuum cover?

The Beam 475 is rated for whole-home cleaning in homes up to 10,000 sq. ft.. It delivers 659 AirWatts of suction, so a single unit can serve the entire floor plan within that coverage through a network of in-wall inlets.

Is the Beam 475 a bagged or bagless central vacuum?

The Beam 475 uses Beam’s Hybrid Gore® filtration, which lets you run it either way. Use a disposable dust bag for the cleanest, most hands-off emptying, or go bagless and let the self-cleaning Gore membrane capture fine dust — the choice is yours with no loss of suction.

What comes with the Beam 475, and do I need anything else to install it?

The box includes the Beam 475 power unit, wall-mounting bracket, hardware, exhaust muffler, a dust bag, and the owner’s manual with a 10-year warranty. To complete a working system you’ll also need inlet valves, PVC pipe and fittings, a hose, and a power head or cleaning set — all available in our Central Vacuum Pipe & Fittings and Central Vacuum Accessories categories. Our staff can build the full parts list for your home.

How powerful is the Beam 475 and what can it handle?

With 659 AirWatts of suction, the Beam 475 deep-cleans hard floors, carpets, area rugs, upholstery, and pet debris throughout large homes with heavy-debris cleaning needs. Because the motor is mounted in the garage or utility room and vents outside, all the dust and allergens leave your living space entirely.

What warranty does the Beam 475 carry, and how do I order or get help?

The Beam 475 (SKU ABEAM475A) is backed by a 10-year Beam warranty. You can add it directly to your cart on this page, or call us at 763-535-0770.
