The whole house cleans through the walls
Ever notice the little inlets in the walls of some homes? That's a central vacuum. The motor and dirt canister live out in the garage or basement, and the whole house is cleaned through built-in tubing behind the walls. You just carry a lightweight hose from room to room. No heavy machine to drag up the stairs, and no dust blowing back into the room you're standing in.

Installation for existing and new homes, plus repair for every brand
Whether you're upgrading a home that's already built, building a new one, or fixing a system that's already in the wall, we're the local shop that actually works on these.
Installation in Existing Homes
You don't need new construction to get a central vacuum. We install systems into many existing homes, routing tubing and placing inlets to cover your space with as little disruption as possible.

Building or renovating? We design and install a complete MD central vacuum system, including the power unit, wall inlets, and tubing, planned around your floor plan so every room is covered.

Weak suction, no power at the inlets, a motor that won't start, or a worn-out hose? These systems are worth repairing, not replacing. We service and repair central vacuums of every brand, track down the parts, and get your whole-home suction back.

With Hide-A-Hose, the whole hose retracts into the tubing behind your wall when you're done. No coiling it up, no closet to store it in, no lugging 30 feet of hose around the house. You pull out just what you need, clean, and let it disappear back into the wall.
- Nothing to carry room to room or store between cleanings
- A cleaner, more built-in setup for new installs and upgrades alike
- We can add it to a new system or talk through whether it fits your home

Central vacuum questions, answered
Can you install a central vacuum in an existing home?
Yes. We install central vacuum systems in many homes that are already built, not just new construction. We'll assess your layout during the free estimate and plan the install to fit.
Do you have to open up the walls to install a central vacuum in a finished home?
The tubing takes whatever route the house offers: the basement, the attic, or the cavity behind a finished wall. Working from attic access, the only opening made in a wall is the one the inlet itself needs, and no patching or paintwork follows. You keep living in the home while the work happens, and usually nothing is asked of you beforehand, not even moving furniture.
Do you repair central vacuums you didn't install?
Yes. We service and repair central vacuum systems of every brand, including systems put in by other companies. Weak suction, clogs, motor and inlet problems, worn hoses, and more.
How do I know if a central vacuum is right for my home?
It depends on the size of your home, how you clean, and your long-term plans. That's exactly what the free in-home estimate is for. No pressure, just straight answers.
What is Hide-A-Hose?
Hide-A-Hose is a retractable hose that stores inside your wall. You pull out what you need to clean, then it retracts back into the tubing, with nothing to coil up or store. We can add it to a new system or advise whether it suits your home.
Do you only do new installations?
No. New installs are a major part of what we do, but we also install systems in existing homes, and we repair and maintain systems that are already in place.
Will you show us how everything works?
Yes. After an install we walk you through operating and maintaining the system so you know what to expect.
