A Better Way to Clean the Whole House

With a central vacuum, the motor and debris collection become part of the home instead of a machine you push around. The power unit is mounted in a garage, basement, or utility area. Tubing runs inside the walls, floors, or ceilings to inlets in convenient spots throughout the house. You connect a lightweight hose to an inlet, and everything you pick up travels through the tubing to the collection canister, away from the living space.

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.

Working Within Your Building or Remodeling Project

Bethpage is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, so construction and renovation permits are generally handled through the town. If a central vacuum is part of your new home or remodel, we’ll coordinate with your builder or contractor so the tubing and inlets are installed at the right stage, before walls and ceilings are finished.

Installation Options

New Construction

Adding a central vacuum during construction gives you the most flexibility. With the framing open, we can run tubing on direct paths, put inlets exactly where they’ll be most useful, and plan the power unit location with the home’s other systems. The rough-in is scheduled with your builder so it’s complete before insulation and drywall.

Existing Homes

A finished home can often be retrofitted with a central vacuum. We use basements, attics, closets, and interior wall cavities to route tubing to the main living areas while keeping disruption to finished surfaces to a minimum. After evaluating the house, we recommend a layout that fits how it’s built.

Renovations and Additions

A remodel often exposes framing that is normally hidden, which makes it a practical time to install tubing. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding space, let us know before the drywall goes up so the inlets and tubing can be planned around the new layout.

Planning the System

The layout is what makes a central vacuum convenient. During planning, we determine:

• Inlet count: how many inlets the floor plan needs with your chosen 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, efficient runs that help maintain suction
• Power unit location: an accessible spot 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 at the center of the system. We select it based on the home’s square footage, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets.

Hide-A-Hose

A retractable hose that pulls out from the inlet when you need it and retracts into the tubing afterward. There’s no separate hose to store.

Inlet Valves

Wall inlets installed at the locations chosen during planning.

Tubing and Piping

The concealed network connecting the inlets to the power unit.

Accessories and Cleaning Tools

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

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Consultation
We discuss your home, how you clean, and the features you want, including whether Hide-A-Hose is right for you.

2. Evaluation and Layout
We assess the structure, identify tubing routes, and set the inlet and power unit locations. You’ll review the plan before work starts.

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

4. Testing and Orientation
We test each inlet to make sure the system is operating properly. Then we walk you through the hose, attachments, and power unit care.

Why Install a Central Vacuum

• Lighter work: you carry a hose, not a full vacuum
• Debris goes elsewhere: dirt is pulled through the tubing to a remote collection unit
• Less noise where you clean: the motor is installed away from living areas, so it’s generally quieter than many portable vacuums
• Coverage throughout the house: inlets are positioned to reach multiple rooms and floors
• Options for any stage: installation can be planned for new construction, a renovation, or a finished home
• Hide-A-Hose storage: the retractable hose stays in the wall when not in use

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a central vacuum in an existing Bethpage home?
In most cases, yes. We evaluate the home, find practical tubing routes, and recommend inlet and power unit locations that limit disruption to finished areas.

Should I install during a renovation?
If you’re already renovating, it’s a good time. Open walls make it easier to run tubing and place inlets. Contact us before the walls are closed.

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

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

How many inlets will I 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 selected?
We consider the home’s size, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets, then recommend an appropriate unit.
