PROOF POSITIVEBrian HainsePresident of Heritage Healthcare

Brian Hainse, Heritage Healthcare, states vacuuming is a key part of the company’s cleaning regimen, and Heritage began using ProTeam vacuums five years ago. The company changed over its entire fleet to ProTeam models based on the equipment’s filtration technology, performance and the support Heritage receives from ProTeam.

“I believe ProTeam vacuums are the best equipment for removing harmful airbone particles,” Hainse says.

“The ProTeam units remove the particles rather than redis-tributing them when we vacuum. Mold, dust and bacteria are taken out of the environment, which is better for health-care workers and patients.”

YEARLY COST OF OWNERSHIP

ProTeam vacuums have lower repair costs than other vacuums. (Reflects 2017 Prices)
