A central vacuum system places the main power unit in a designated location and connects it to strategically positioned inlet valves throughout the home. Instead of carrying a portable vacuum from room to room, you connect a hose at an inlet and clean using the system’s built-in tubing network.
The installation itself is an important part of how well the finished system works. Inlet locations need to provide useful coverage, tubing needs to be routed appropriately, and the power unit needs to be matched to the system being installed.
Custom Vacuum Systems works on central vacuum installations for both new construction and existing homes. Whether a system is being incorporated into a new build, added during a renovation, or retrofitted into an established home, we can help develop an installation plan suited to the property.
Central Vacuum Installation for New Construction & Existing Homes
New Construction
New construction provides an opportunity to plan a central vacuum system before walls and ceilings are finished. Tubing routes, inlet positions, and the location of the power unit can be considered alongside the home’s floor plan and other building systems.
We can work with homeowners, builders, and contractors to establish the system layout during the appropriate stage of construction. Planning ahead can make it easier to position the inlets where they will provide practical cleaning coverage while keeping the installation integrated into the home.
Existing Homes & Retrofits
A central vacuum does not have to be installed only during construction. Existing homes can also be candidates for a retrofit installation.
For an established home, the installation plan takes the existing floor plan and construction into account. Tubing routes, inlet locations, and power-unit placement are evaluated to determine a practical way to add the system.
The right approach depends on the home’s construction and layout. Our team can review the property and determine how a central vacuum system can be incorporated into the existing space.
Renovations & Remodeling Projects
A renovation can be a useful time to consider central vacuum installation. When walls, ceilings, floors, or other areas are already being modified, there may be an opportunity to incorporate the tubing and inlets into the remodeling plan.
Coordinating the vacuum installation with the renovation allows the system layout to be considered alongside the rest of the project rather than added as an afterthought.
What Goes Into a Central Vacuum Installation?
Every installation consists of several components that need to work together as one system.
System Planning
The first step is determining how the central vacuum should be configured for the property. We consider the home’s layout, the areas that need to be cleaned, inlet placement, tubing routes, and the location of the power unit.
Inlet Valves
Inlet valves provide the connection points for the vacuum hose. Their placement is planned according to the home’s floor plan and the cleaning reach needed throughout the property.
Tubing & Piping
The tubing connects the individual inlets to the central power unit. During installation, the tubing network is routed through the appropriate areas of the home to create the system’s vacuum pathway.
Power Units
The power unit provides the central suction for the system and collects the material removed during cleaning. The appropriate unit depends on the configuration and requirements of the installation.
Hide-A-Hose Systems
Hide-A-Hose provides a retractable hose option for homeowners who want the hose stored inside the tubing when it is not being used. Instead of finding a separate place to store a conventional hose, the hose can retract into the system after cleaning.
Hide-A-Hose can be incorporated into new installations as well as certain existing-home projects.
Cleaning Tools & Accessories
The installation can also include the hoses, floor tools, attachments, and other accessories needed to use the system throughout the home.
Our Central Vacuum Installation Process
1. Consultation & Project Review
We begin by discussing the property and the type of installation being considered. For a new home or remodeling project, this can include reviewing the floor plan and the stage of construction.
2. System Design & Inlet Placement
We determine practical inlet locations and plan the tubing routes that will connect them to the power unit. The objective is to create useful cleaning coverage while working with the home’s existing or planned layout.
3. Equipment Selection
The appropriate power unit, hose configuration, inlet style, and other components are selected according to the planned system. If a retractable hose is desired, Hide-A-Hose can be considered as part of the design.
4. Installation
Once the system has been planned, the tubing, inlets, power unit, and associated components are installed according to the layout.
5. Testing & System Walkthrough
After installation, the system is tested to verify that the components are functioning properly. We can also explain the operation of the system and its accessories so you know how to use your new central vacuum.
Why Install a Central Vacuum System?
A professionally planned central vacuum system can change the way you clean your home by moving the main vacuum equipment out of the living areas and providing connection points throughout the property.
Depending on the system and installation, benefits can include:
- No need to carry a portable vacuum from room to room
- Convenient access through strategically positioned inlet valves
- Extended cleaning reach throughout the home
- A central power unit located away from primary living areas
- Installation options for both new construction and existing homes
- Retractable hose solutions such as Hide-A-Hose
- A system designed around the home’s individual floor plan
The biggest advantage of a custom installation is that the system is planned around the property rather than treating every home as though it has the same requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a central vacuum system be installed in an existing Huntington home?
Yes. Central vacuum systems can be installed in many existing homes as a retrofit. The installation plan will depend on the home’s construction and layout, including practical routes for the tubing and suitable locations for the inlets and power unit.
Is it better to install a central vacuum system during new construction?
New construction provides an opportunity to plan the vacuum system before walls and other finished surfaces are in place. This can make it easier to coordinate tubing routes, inlet locations, and power-unit placement with the home’s overall design.
Can you install a central vacuum during a home renovation?
Yes. Remodeling projects can provide an opportunity to incorporate a central vacuum system into areas of the home that are already being renovated. The installation can be planned around the scope and construction stage of the project.
How are central vacuum inlet locations determined?
Inlet placement is based on the home’s floor plan, the areas that need to be cleaned, and the desired hose reach. During the planning stage, we determine locations intended to provide practical coverage throughout the home.
Where is the central vacuum power unit installed?
The power unit is placed in a suitable location based on the home’s configuration and the requirements of the system. Its location is considered during the system-planning stage along with the tubing routes and inlet positions.
Do you install Hide-A-Hose systems?
Yes. Custom Vacuum Systems installs Hide-A-Hose retractable hose systems. The hose is designed to retract into the home’s tubing when it is not in use, providing an integrated storage solution.
Can you help determine which central vacuum system is appropriate for my home?
Yes. The system configuration and equipment can be considered based on factors such as the home’s size, layout, number and placement of inlets, tubing configuration, and the type of installation being performed.
