    When you’re designing and building your custom home, you’re probably focused on room placement, layout, amenities, and other important decisions that have to be made.

    A central vacuum system can help keep your home clean and well-maintained without the mess and hassle of a conventional vacuum. This system consists of a central power unit and inlets placed throughout the home where you can simply carry the hose and plug it in, a great alternative to moving a heavy vacuum unit from room to room . As you use the vacuum, the dust and debris is transported to the central power unit via a series of tubes located in the attic, cold air returns, or the basement. You can even install automatic dustpans in rooms that get swept often for added convenience.
