What should be checked for adequate airflow in a central vacuum system?

  1. At all accessible inlets

  2. Only at the main unit

  3. Only during system installation

  4. Only if there are complaints of poor suction

The correct answer is: At all accessible inlets

Checking for adequate airflow at all accessible inlets is essential in a central vacuum system because this ensures that the system is operating efficiently throughout its entire length. Each inlet represents a point where the vacuum pulls air and debris, and if any inlet is obstructed or not functioning properly, it can diminish the overall effectiveness of the system. By assessing airflow at these points, you can identify potential blockages or issues that may not be evident when only assessing the main unit or during initial installation. This thorough examination allows for timely maintenance and enhances the performance of the central vacuum system.
