BEAM Central Vacuum Systems – Power Units, Parts, Hoses & Expert Service

BEAM central vacuum systems — power units, hoses, power nozzles & OEM parts from Utah's trusted dealer. Quiet Pak™, self-cleaning GORE-TEX filter & HEPA options. Sales, installation & repair at Swiss Boy Vacuum.

BEAM is the world's most recognized name in central vacuum systems, and with good reason — the company has been building built-in vacuum solutions since 1957, longer than any other brand in the industry. What began as BEAM Manufacturing Company in Webster City, Iowa, producing household appliances, pivoted entirely to central vacuum systems in 1957 under the leadership of R.L. Sampson. Over the following decades, BEAM grew into the undisputed global market leader, at one point producing approximately one-third of all central vacuum systems manufactured worldwide. Today the brand is owned by Nuera Air, a Canadian central vacuum specialist that acquired BEAM in 2018, continuing its legacy of innovation and ensuring parts and product support for the millions of BEAM systems already installed in homes across North America and beyond.

The engineering that made BEAM a household name centers on a few key technologies that remain relevant today. The patented Quiet Pak™ sound insulation system wraps the power unit in acoustic material, dramatically reducing operational noise compared to standard central vacuum units — making it practical to run the system while family members sleep, watch TV, or work from home. BEAM's self-cleaning filtration uses GORE-TEX fabric filter technology that automatically cleans itself each time the system shuts off, eliminating the need for routine filter replacements in many configurations and maintaining peak suction performance over time. For homes requiring the highest air quality standards, BEAM also offers HEPA filtration options that capture 98% of particles down to 0.3 microns. The On-Guard™ dirt receptacle, treated with the antimicrobial agent AlphaSan®, adds another layer of hygiene by inhibiting bacterial growth inside the canister itself.

One of the most practical advantages of a BEAM central vacuum system is the sheer range of compatible accessories, hoses, and power nozzles available to customize the system to your home's specific needs. BEAM's Alliance series introduced two-way communication between the power unit and hose handle, allowing users to access system diagnostics and control motor speed directly from the handle. The BEAM Precision power nozzle features an exclusive tangle-removing brushroll that clears wrapped hair and thread with the touch of a button — a feature central vacuum users with pets or long hair will appreciate immediately. BEAM systems are also well-suited to DIY installation in most existing homes, with pre-packaged rough-in kits, detailed instruction guides, and an adaptable piping layout thanks to the ATLIS™ (Adaptable Twist-Lock Intake System) that allows the pipe inlet to be positioned on either side of the power unit. Swiss Boy Vacuum carries BEAM power units, hoses, power nozzles, inlet valves, filters, bags, and a deep inventory of OEM replacement parts for both current and legacy BEAM models.

At Swiss Boy Vacuum, we have serviced, repaired, and installed BEAM central vacuum systems in Utah homes for many years, and our parts inventory reflects that experience. Whether you need a replacement self-cleaning filter, a new power nozzle, a pigtail cord, a motor, or a complete power unit upgrade, we stock genuine BEAM components and can source hard-to-find parts for older systems. Our technicians are experienced with the full range of BEAM models — from the classic series through the Alliance and Q-series — and we offer in-store repair, diagnostic service, and installation support. If your BEAM system is underperforming, making unusual noise, or simply overdue for a checkup, Swiss Boy is your local Utah resource for keeping it running like new.
