Why Homeowners Switch to Central Vacuums

With a central vacuum, you don’t have to haul a heavy machine up the stairs or move it from room to room. The system’s motor and collection canister sit in a fixed location, such as a garage, basement, or utility room. Hidden tubing links that unit to wall inlets throughout the house. To clean, you connect a lightweight hose to any inlet. The dirt is drawn through the tubing and deposited in the canister, outside your living space.

Custom Vacuum Systems has been planning and installing central vacuum systems throughout Long Island for more than 50 years.

Coordinating With Local Building Projects

Baldwin is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, so construction and renovation permits here are generally handled by the town. When a central vacuum is part of a new build or remodel, we work with your builder or contractor so the tubing goes in at the right point in the project.

Types of Installations

New Construction

Construction is the most efficient time to install a central vacuum. With the walls open, we can run tubing directly, position inlets exactly where you want them, and plan the power unit location alongside the electrical and mechanical systems. The rough-in is coordinated with your builder so it’s finished before the walls are closed.

Retrofits in Existing Homes

You don’t need to be building a new home to have a central vacuum. Many finished houses can be retrofitted. We look at basements, attics, closets, and interior walls to find tubing routes that reach the main living areas while minimizing changes to finished surfaces. Then we propose a layout suited to the house.

Renovations

A remodel, finished basement, or addition can make installation easier because the framing is already exposed. Bring us in before the drywall goes up so we can design the inlets and tubing around the updated floor plan.

Planning Your System

Good planning is what makes a central vacuum easy to use. We consider:

• Coverage needs: the number of inlets required for the floor plan and your chosen hose length
• Practical inlet spots: hallways and central locations that can serve several rooms from one inlet
• Every level: access to stairs, upper floors, and finished basements
• Efficient tubing: short, direct routes that help preserve suction
• The right power unit location: accessible, with power available and room for emptying the canister

Our Process

1. Initial Consultation We learn about your home, your cleaning needs, and any features you’re considering, such as a retractable Hide-A-Hose system.

2. Home Evaluation and System Design We assess the structure, identify tubing routes, and finalize the inlet and power unit locations before installation begins.

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

4. Testing and Instruction We test every inlet to confirm the system is working properly. Then we explain how to use and care for the hose, attachments, and power unit.

Advantages of a Central Vacuum

• Lighter cleaning: only the hose moves with you
• Debris leaves the room: dirt travels through the tubing to a separate collection unit
• Quieter operation where you’re working: with the motor installed remotely, it’s generally quieter than many portable vacuums
• Reach throughout the house: well-placed inlets cover multiple rooms and floors
• Options for any project: installation can be planned for new builds, renovations, or existing homes
• Retractable hose option: Hide-A-Hose keeps the hose stored inside the wall

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a central vacuum in an existing Baldwin home? In most cases, yes. We evaluate the home, identify workable tubing routes, and recommend inlet and power unit locations that keep disruption to a minimum.

Do you coordinate with builders and contractors? Yes. On new construction and remodeling projects, we schedule our work so the tubing is installed before the walls are finished.

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

What is a Hide-A-Hose system? It’s a retractable hose that’s stored inside the tubing, pulled out from the inlet for cleaning, and retracted afterward.

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

How do you decide which power unit to use? We consider the home’s size, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets, then recommend an appropriate unit.
