Making Cleaning Easier With a Central System

A central vacuum takes the motor and dirt collection out of your hands. The power unit is installed in a garage, basement, or utility area, and tubing hidden in the walls, floors, or ceilings connects it to inlets around the house. You attach a lightweight hose to an inlet, and the debris travels 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.

Planning Notes for Mastic Properties

Mastic is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven, where construction and renovation permits are generally handled by the town. If your central vacuum is part of a build or remodel, we’ll coordinate with your builder or contractor so the tubing and inlets go in while the framing is still open.

If your property is in a FEMA-designated flood zone, we’ll take that into account when choosing the power unit location and keep the equipment above likely flood levels where the property’s requirements call for it.

Installation Options

New Construction

When a home is being built, a central vacuum can be planned with the most flexibility. Open framing allows tubing to follow direct routes, inlets to be placed exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location to be planned with the home’s other systems. We coordinate the rough-in with your builder so it’s finished before insulation and drywall.

Existing Homes

Many finished homes can be retrofitted with a central vacuum. We look for tubing routes through basements, attics, crawl spaces, closets, and wall cavities that reach your main living areas while minimizing disruption to finished surfaces. After evaluating the house, we recommend a layout that fits its construction.

Renovations and Additions

If you’re renovating or adding space, 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 the updated floor plan.

Designing the Layout

We plan each system so it’s convenient from the first day:

• Inlet count: based on the floor plan, number of levels, and hose length
• Inlet placement: central locations, such as hallways, that let one inlet serve several rooms
• Coverage on every level: stairs, upper floors, and finished areas included
• Tubing routes: short, direct runs that help maintain suction
• Power unit location: accessible, with power available, room to empty the canister, and appropriate height on flood-prone properties

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 match it to the home’s square footage, total tubing length, and number of inlets.

Hide-A-Hose Systems

A retractable hose stored inside the tubing. It pulls out from the inlet when you need it and retracts into the wall afterward, so there’s no hose to carry or store.

Inlet Valves

Wall inlets installed at the locations set 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.

How We Install Your System

1. Consultation We discuss your home, your cleaning routine, and the features you want, including Hide-A-Hose.

2. Assessment and Planning We evaluate the structure, map 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 plan.

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.

Benefits of a Central Vacuum System

• Lighter cleaning: you carry only a lightweight hose
• 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
• Coverage across the home: inlets are placed to reach multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible installation: systems can be planned for new builds, renovations, or existing homes
• Hide-A-Hose: the retractable hose stays stored in the wall

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a central vacuum be installed in my existing Mastic 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.

What if my property is in a flood zone? We’ll consider power unit locations that keep the equipment above likely flood levels, in line with the requirements that apply to your property.

Where is the power unit typically installed? Usually 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.
