Central Vacuum Installation in Lynbrook, NY

Central Vacuum Systems Planned for Your Home and Installed From Start to Finish

Custom Vacuum Systems designs and installs central vacuum systems for homes in Lynbrook. Every project begins with a layout tailored to the house, covering inlet locations, tubing routes, and a power unit sized for the system. Our team then handles the installation and testing. We work on new construction, renovations, and retrofits in finished homes.

A More Convenient Way to Vacuum

A central vacuum relocates the motor and dirt collection to a single spot, usually a garage, basement, or utility room. Tubing concealed inside the walls, floors, or ceilings connects that power unit to inlets throughout the house. You connect a lightweight hose to an inlet, and the debris is pulled through the tubing to the collection canister, away from 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 directly and coordinate with builders and contractors on larger projects.

Permits and Project Coordination

Lynbrook is an incorporated village within the Town of Hempstead, so permits for construction and renovation projects are generally handled by the village rather than 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 open.

Installation Options

New Construction

Building a new home is the ideal time to add 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 that fits its construction.

Renovations and Additions

If you’re renovating or adding space, open walls make 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 Layout

We design each system so it’s simple to use every day:

• 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

Equipment 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 Retractable 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 each inlet to the power unit.

Accessories and Cleaning Tools

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

Our Installation Process

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

2. Evaluation and Layout We assess the structure, plan 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 every inlet to confirm proper operation. Then we show you how to use the hose, attachments, and power unit, including how to empty the canister.

Benefits of a Central Vacuum

• Lighter cleaning: only the 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
• Reach across the house: inlets are placed to cover multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible installation: systems can be planned for new builds, renovations, or existing homes
• Hide-A-Hose: the retractable hose eliminates hose storage

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a central vacuum be installed in my existing Lynbrook 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.

Do you coordinate with contractors on renovations? Yes. We schedule our work so the tubing and inlets are installed while the framing is still accessible.

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.

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.
