Why a Central Vacuum Makes Life Easier

A central vacuum puts the motor and dirt collection in one permanent location, usually a garage, basement, or utility room. Tubing concealed in 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 travels through the tubing to the collection canister, so there’s no heavy machine to drag around and no dust lingering in the 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.

Permits and Coordination

East Northport is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Huntington. It’s separate from the incorporated Village of Northport, so construction and renovation permits here 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 are installed while the framing is still accessible.

Installation Options

New Construction

A home under construction is the best place to start a central vacuum. With open framing, tubing can follow direct routes, inlets can be placed exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location can 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, closets, and wall cavities that reach your main living areas while keeping disruption to finished surfaces to a minimum. After evaluating the house, we recommend a layout suited to 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.

Planning the System

We design each layout for everyday convenience:

• 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 basements included
• Tubing routes: short, direct runs that help maintain 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 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 Installation Works

1. Consultation We discuss your home, your cleaning routine, and the features you’re considering, 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

• Lighter cleaning: only a lightweight hose moves with you
• 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 East Northport 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.

Is East Northport part of the Village of Northport? No. East Northport is a separate, unincorporated hamlet, so permitted construction and renovation projects there generally follow Town of Huntington requirements.

Where does the power unit usually go? Typically 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.
