Central Vacuum Installation

Central vacuum cleaners can be installed during construction of you new home or even after your home has been built. Tubing is run throughout your home with outlets spaced out approximately every 750sq.ft. of floor space. Some considerations when installing the outlet is the furniture location. Typically it is best to start the outlet installation at the farthest location away from the canister, and then work back towards the canister.

The canister should be located in either the basement or the garage. Common sizes of canisters are 6 and 7 gallon. Most manufactures offer both bag and bag less canisters, both types work very well. Under normal use you may only empty the canister or take the bag out every 3 or 4 months.  

Central vacuum systems costs substantially more than your traditional upright or canister style vacuum cleaner, so it would be wise to ensure that your vacuum system has a very good warranty service.
