Central Vacuum Installation in Farmingville, NY

Central Vacuum Systems Designed Around Your Floor Plan and Professionally Installed

Custom Vacuum Systems plans and installs central vacuum systems for homes in Farmingville.

We work on new construction, renovations, and retrofits in finished homes.

The Basics of a Central Vacuum

A central vacuum moves the motor and dirt collection to one fixed location, typically a garage, basement, or utility room. Tubing hidden inside the walls, floors, or ceilings connects that power unit 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, so there’s no bulky vacuum to push from room to room.

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

Coordinating With Permitted Work

Farmingville is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven, so construction and renovation permits are generally handled by the town. If your central vacuum is part of a new build or remodel, we’ll work with your builder or contractor so the tubing and inlets are installed before the walls and ceilings are finished.

Installation Options

New Construction

During construction, a central vacuum can be designed with very few limitations. Open framing lets tubing follow direct routes, inlets go exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location be planned with the home’s other systems. We schedule the rough-in with your builder so it’s complete before insulation and drywall.

Existing Homes

Many finished homes can be retrofitted with a central vacuum. We look for tubing routes through basements, attics, closets, and wall cavities that reach your main living spaces while keeping changes to finished surfaces to a minimum. After evaluating the house, we recommend a layout that works with its structure.

Renovations and Additions

A remodel or addition often exposes framing, which makes it easier to run tubing and place inlets. Contact us before the drywall goes up so the system can be designed around the new floor plan.

Designing Your Layout

A well-planned layout makes the system easy to use. We determine:

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

Equipment 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 each 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 through your home, your cleaning routine, and the features you’re interested in, including Hide-A-Hose.

2. Assessment and Layout 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 layout.

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 house: inlets are placed to reach multiple rooms and floors
• Fits different projects: installation 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 Farmingville 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.

Do you work with contractors during remodels? Yes. We coordinate with your contractor so the tubing and inlets are installed while the framing is still accessible.

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.
