What a Central Vacuum Offers

A central vacuum keeps the motor and dirt collection out of your living space. The power unit is installed in a garage, utility area, or another suitable space, and tubing concealed in the walls, floors, or ceilings connects it to inlets throughout the house. You plug a lightweight hose into an inlet, and the debris travels 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 throughout Long Island. We work with homeowners directly and coordinate with builders and contractors on larger projects.

Planning Considerations for Westhampton Beach Homes

Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village within the Town of Southampton, so construction and renovation permits for homes inside the village are generally handled by the village. 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 at the right stage.

The village is on the South Shore, and parts of it are in FEMA-designated flood zones. On these properties, the power unit location deserves extra attention. Instead of a ground-level garage or lower space, we may recommend mounting the unit higher or placing it elsewhere in the house, in line with the requirements that apply to your property.

Installation Options

New Construction and Rebuilds

A new or rebuilt home offers the most flexibility for 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 and any flood-related requirements. 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 attics, basements or crawl spaces, 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.

Designing Your System

We plan each layout for convenience and long-term reliability:

• Inlet count: based on the floor plan, number of levels, and hose length
• Inlet placement: central spots, such as hallways and landings, where one inlet can serve several rooms
• Coverage on every level: stairs, upper floors, and living spaces included
• Tubing routes: direct runs that help maintain suction throughout the system
• Power unit location: accessible, with power available, room to empty the canister, and appropriate height for the property’s flood risk

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 select it based on 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 every inlet to the power unit.

Accessories and Cleaning Tools

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

How We Install Your System

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

2. Assessment and Planning We evaluate the structure, map tubing routes, and set the inlet and power unit locations, including flood considerations where they apply. 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

• Less to carry: 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
• Reach throughout the house: inlets are placed to cover multiple rooms and floors
• Flexible installation: systems can be planned for new builds, rebuilds, 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 Westhampton Beach 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.

Where should the power unit go if my home is in a flood zone? We’ll consider mounting it higher or placing it elsewhere in the house so it stays above likely flood levels, following the requirements that apply to your property.

Can you install a system during a rebuild or elevation project? Yes. Open walls make it an ideal time to run tubing and plan the power unit location. Contact us early so the system can be included in the project.

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.
