Simpler Cleaning With a Built-In System

With a central vacuum, the heavy equipment stays in one place. The power unit, which houses the motor and collection canister, is mounted in a garage, basement, or utility room. Tubing concealed inside the walls, floors, or ceilings connects it to inlets around the home. You attach a lightweight hose to an inlet, and the debris is carried through the tubing to the canister, out of the room you’re cleaning.

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

Timing Installation With Your Project

Franklin Square is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, so construction and renovation permits are generally handled by the town. If a central vacuum is part of your build or remodel, we coordinate with your builder or contractor so the tubing and inlets are installed while the framing is still open.

Installation for New, Existing, and Renovated Homes

New Construction

Planning a central vacuum during construction gives you the most flexibility. Open framing allows tubing to follow efficient routes, inlets to be placed exactly where they’ll be most useful, and the power unit location to be coordinated with the home’s other systems. We schedule the rough-in with your builder so it’s finished before insulation and drywall.

Existing Homes

Many homes that are already built can accommodate a central vacuum. We find tubing routes through basements, attics, closets, and wall cavities that reach the main living areas while keeping disruption to finished surfaces to a minimum. After an on-site evaluation, we recommend a layout that suits the house.

Remodels and Additions

A renovation can make installation easier. When walls are opened for a kitchen update, a finished basement, or an addition, there’s direct access for tubing and more freedom in where inlets can go. Contact us before the walls are closed so the system can be designed around the new floor plan.

Planning Your System

A central vacuum works best when the layout is planned carefully. We determine:

• Inlet count: based on the floor plan, number of levels, and hose length
• Inlet locations: central spots, such as hallways, where one inlet can serve several rooms
• Coverage on every level: including stairs, upper floors, and finished basements
• Tubing routes: short, direct runs that help maintain suction
• Power unit placement: an accessible location 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 store.

Inlet Valves

Wall inlets installed at the locations set 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.

Our Installation Steps

1. Consultation We learn about your home, how you clean, and the features you’re interested in, including Hide-A-Hose.

2. Evaluation and Layout We review the structure, plan the tubing routes, and set the inlet and power unit locations. You’ll see 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 each inlet to confirm proper operation. Then we show you how to use the hose, attachments, and power unit, including emptying the canister.

Benefits of Installing a Central Vacuum

• Less to carry: a lightweight hose replaces a full vacuum
• 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
• Reach throughout the house: inlets are positioned to cover multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible timing: installation can be planned for new construction, renovations, or existing homes
• Hide-A-Hose: the retractable hose eliminates hose storage

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is a renovation a good time to add a central vacuum? Yes. Open walls make it easier to run tubing and place inlets. Contact us before the drywall goes up.

Where is the power unit installed? Usually in a garage, basement, or utility room. The location should be accessible, have power available, and leave room to empty the canister.

What is Hide-A-Hose? 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 home’s size, layout, number of levels, and hose length. We determine the number of inlets during planning.

How do you choose the power unit? We consider the size of the home, the total tubing length, and the number of inlets, then recommend an appropriate unit.
