H-P Products Power Units

H-P Products Central Vacuum Systems offer two types of power unit filtration-- Permanent Filter and Disposable Bag. Both are full-featured, powerful systems that provide a superior cleaning experience. H-P power units are rated by square footage, although the best system for your home may be rated at a higher square footage, depending on your layout and chosen system options. Your central vac dealer will recommend the best unit to provide you with maximum cleaning power.

Permanent Filter

H-P's dual-filtration design with cyclonic action provides consistent vacuum power and protects your indoor air quality. Best of all, it features a permanent filter, which never needs replaced. With Element, you'll enjoy hassle-free cleaning performance year after year.

  • Proven motor performance translates into strong vacuum power

  • Self-cleaning, permanent CleanShield® filter captures fine dust particles, eliminating the need for an outdoor exhaust
  • High-capacity, translucent dirt canister only needs emptied 3-4 times per year
  • On-board inlet valve and on/off switch allows convenient cleaning at the power unit location
