We have heard time and again from customers that they wish they could have a central vacuum system, but that they are not building a new house. Luckily for them, and you if you are interested in a central vacuum system, a house can quickly and easily be retrofit for a central vacuum system.

There are two ways to retrofit your house – if you are handy and have some experience with running pipes, cutting walls, and doing basic electrical work, you can purchase a system and do the installation yourself. Installing a central vacuum system falls somewhere between installing a front door and installing a central air conditioning unit in difficulty, and ranges within that basic area based upon your home’s layout. If your house has a crawlspace, basement, or attic, the installation is much easier than in a house without that easy access space to run the requisite piping. If you do decide to install a system yourself, it is recommended you consult an experienced installer to help you determine the best locations for inlets.

If you are not the DIY type, or if you simply do not have the time to fuss with a system installation, you can also hire a professional to come take care of it – usually within a day’s time. People are always amazed at how quickly their system is installed, and how inexpensive the entire process is. The most difficult part of having a system installed is choosing the right central vacuum contractor.
