Understanding Central Vacuum Systems

A central vacuum moves the bulk of the equipment out of your living space. The power unit, which contains the motor and dirt canister, is installed in a garage, basement, or utility area. Tubing inside the walls, floors, or ceilings runs from that unit to inlets placed throughout the home. When you clean, you connect a lightweight hose to an inlet. The debris travels through the tubing to the canister, so it never ends up in a machine you’re carrying around.

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

Scheduling Around Permitted Work

Coram is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven, which generally handles permits for construction and renovation projects there. If your central vacuum is part of a permitted build or remodel, we’ll work with your builder or contractor to install the tubing and inlets while the framing is still accessible.

When We Install

New Construction

When a house is still being framed, a central vacuum can be designed with almost no limitations. Tubing can take efficient routes, inlets can be placed exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location can be planned with the rest of the mechanical layout. We complete the rough-in on your builder’s schedule, before insulation and drywall go in.

Existing Homes

Retrofitting a central vacuum into a finished home is common. We identify tubing routes through basements, attics, closets, and wall cavities that reach your main rooms while making as few changes as possible to finished walls and ceilings. After inspecting the house, we’ll recommend a layout that fits how it’s built.

Renovations

A remodel can make installation easier. Opened walls for a kitchen update, a basement finishing project, or an addition give us direct access for tubing and more freedom in placing inlets. Let us know before the walls are closed so the system can be planned around the new layout.

Designing an Efficient System

We plan each installation with daily use in mind:

• Inlet count: enough inlets to cover the floor plan with your chosen hose length
• Inlet locations: central positions, such as hallways, that let one inlet reach several rooms
• Multi-level access: coverage for stairs, upper floors, and finished basements
• Tubing layout: direct routes that help preserve suction
• Power unit location: accessible, with power available and room to empty the canister

What 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 size it based on the home’s square footage, total tubing length, and number of inlets.

Hide-A-Hose Retractable Systems

The hose is stored inside the tubing, pulled out from the inlet when needed, and retracted into the wall when you’re done. There’s no hose to carry or store.

Inlet Valves

Wall inlets installed at the locations chosen during planning.

Tubing and Piping

The hidden network that connects the inlets to the power unit.

Accessories and Cleaning Tools

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

The Installation Process

1. Consultation We learn about your home, your cleaning needs, and the features you want, including whether Hide-A-Hose makes sense.

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 layout.

4. Testing and Walkthrough We test every inlet for proper operation. Then we explain how to use the hose, attachments, and power unit, including emptying the canister.

The Benefits of a Central Vacuum

• Nothing heavy to carry: only the hose moves from room to room
• Debris goes elsewhere: dirt is carried through the tubing to a remote collection unit
• Quieter in the room: the motor is installed away from living areas, so it’s generally quieter than many portable vacuums
• Reach throughout the home: inlets are placed to cover multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible installation: systems can be planned for new builds, renovations, or finished homes
• Hide-A-Hose convenience: the retractable hose stores inside the wall

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is it easier to install during construction? Yes. Open framing gives us the most flexibility for tubing routes and inlet placement. We coordinate with your builder so the rough-in is finished before the walls are closed.

Where does the power unit go? Typically in a garage, basement, or utility room. The spot 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 you need it, 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 home’s size, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets, then recommend an appropriate unit.
