Cleaning Made Simpler With a Central System

With a central vacuum, you no longer carry a motor, canister, and cord from room to room. The power unit is installed in a garage, basement, or utility room, and concealed tubing connects it to inlets throughout the house. You plug a lightweight hose into an inlet, and the debris is carried through the tubing to the collection canister, away from the room you’re cleaning.

Custom Vacuum Systems has more than 50 years of experience designing and installing central vacuum systems across Long Island. We work with homeowners and coordinate with builders and contractors on construction and remodeling projects.

Coordinating With Your Build or Remodel

Jericho is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, so construction and renovation permits are generally handled by the town. When your central vacuum is part of a permitted project, we coordinate with your builder or contractor so the tubing and inlets are installed before the walls and ceilings are finished.

Installation Options

New Construction

New construction offers the most flexibility for a central vacuum. With open framing, tubing can take direct routes, inlets can go exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location can be planned along with the home’s other systems. We schedule the rough-in with your builder so it’s complete before insulation and drywall.

Existing Homes

Finished homes can often be retrofitted with a central vacuum. We look for tubing routes through basements, attics, closets, and wall cavities that reach your main living areas while keeping changes to finished surfaces to a minimum. After evaluating the house, we recommend a layout that fits how it’s built.

Renovations and Additions

If you’re renovating or building an addition, exposed framing makes it easier to run tubing and place inlets. Contact us before the drywall goes up so the system can be designed around your new floor plan.

Layout and Planning

The way the system is laid out determines how convenient it is to use. We plan:

• Inlet count: based on the floor plan, number of levels, and hose length
• Inlet placement: central locations, such as hallways and landings, where one inlet can serve several rooms
• Coverage throughout the home: stairs, upper floors, and finished basements included
• Tubing routes: direct runs that help maintain suction
• Power unit sizing and location: a unit matched to the system, installed where it’s accessible and easy to maintain

What We Install

Central Vacuum Systems

Complete whole-home systems configured for the property.

Power Units

The motor and collection unit that runs the system. We select it based on the home’s square footage, total tubing length, and number of inlets, so suction stays consistent throughout the house.

Hide-A-Hose Retractable Systems

A hose stored inside the tubing that pulls out from the inlet when needed and retracts into the wall afterward. There’s no hose to carry or store.

Inlet Valves

Wall inlets installed at the locations chosen during planning.

Tubing and Piping

The concealed network connecting every inlet to the power unit.

Accessories and Cleaning Tools

Hoses, floor tools, attachments, and other components to complete the system.

Our Installation Process

1. Consultation We talk about your home, how you clean, and the features you want, including Hide-A-Hose.

2. Assessment and Design We evaluate the structure, plan tubing routes, and set the inlet and power unit locations. You’ll review the plan before work begins.

3. Installation Our team installs the tubing, inlets, and power unit according to the design.

4. Testing and Walkthrough We test every inlet to confirm the system is working properly. Then we show you how to use the hose, attachments, and power unit, including emptying the canister.

Why a Central Vacuum Is Worth It

• Less to carry: only a lightweight hose moves with you
• Debris goes elsewhere: dirt travels through the tubing to a remote collection unit
• Quieter in the room: with the motor installed away from living areas, it’s generally quieter than many portable vacuums
• Reach across the home: inlets are placed to cover multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible installation: systems can be planned for new builds, renovations, or existing homes
• Hide-A-Hose: the retractable hose eliminates hose storage

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a central vacuum be installed in my existing Jericho home? In most cases, yes. We evaluate the house, identify practical tubing routes, and recommend inlet and power unit locations that limit disruption to finished areas.

Will a central vacuum work in a larger home? Yes, with proper planning. Larger homes may need more inlets and longer tubing runs, so we size the power unit to keep suction consistent throughout the house.

Where does the power unit usually go? Typically in a garage, basement, or utility room. The location should be accessible, have power available, and leave room to empty the canister.

How does Hide-A-Hose work? The hose is stored inside the tubing, pulled out from the inlet when needed, and retracted back into the wall afterward.

How many inlets will my home need? That depends on the home’s size, layout, number of levels, and hose length. We determine the number of inlets during planning.

How is the power unit chosen? We consider the size of the home, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets, then recommend a suitable unit.
