Vacuum Cleaner Hospital of Chapel Hill recently hosted one of the homes on the Fourth Annual Green Home Tour April 25 and 26. The home, at 3411 Dover Road in Durham’s Hope Valley neighborhood, is a finalist for the 2009 National Association of Homebuilder’s “Green Building Remodel of the Year” category. Central Vacuum Experts, a division of Vacuum Cleaner Hospital, earned green points by installing an MD Silentmaster in the home. This unit exhausts the interior air either outside or into a utility room after it has traveled through several cleansing filters. More than 100 people toured this unique remodeled home each day of the tour, which continues May 2 and 3.
