Yes, your existing home can have a central vacuum.

The myth that keeps people dragging portables

Most homeowners assume central vacuums are only for new construction, that adding one later means opening walls and weeks of dust. The opposite is true. Retrofit piping travels through the spaces your house already has: between floor joists, up through closets and interior walls, across the attic or crawlspace. Your drywall and plaster stay exactly where they are.

How a retrofit actually goes

First we walk your home and plan the fewest inlets and elbows that still reach every corner, fewer turns means stronger suction and lower cost. Then, on install day, our employee installers (never subcontractors) mount the power unit in your garage, basement, or utility room, run the piping, set the inlet valves, and test the system end to end. Most homes: one day, no mess.

You're left with a system you'll use for the next 25 years, with up to 3-5× the suction of a portable, a permanent self-cleaning filter, and a dirt bucket you empty two or three times a year.
