Central vacuum installation in St. Louis

New construction or existing home, a BEAM system is typically installed in less than a day, by our own employees, complete systems from $1,695 installed, with a 90-day money-back guarantee.

New construction

Building? The best time to add a central vacuum is before drywall. We coordinate directly with your builder on power-unit placement, inlet locations, and hose storage, installation happens after plumbing and electrical are complete. If your builder works with BEAM already, ask about our builder programs and rebates.

Planning tip: one inlet valve covers roughly 700-900 square feet, so most homes need just three for complete coverage. A VacPan® automatic dustpan in the kitchen or mudroom is the upgrade owners rave about most.

Existing homes

About 95% of existing homes, regardless of age, can be retrofitted. Piping routes through basements, attics, closets, and interior walls, which means no wall demolition and no visible construction. If your house is already built, see our dedicated existing-home retrofit page for exactly how it works.
