Installation Types

New Construction & Existing Home Installs

Whether you're building a new home or upgrading an existing one, Swiss Boy Vacuum handles the entire installation from pipe layout through final testing.

New Construction

The ideal time to install a central vacuum is during construction before the walls are closed. We work directly with builders and homeowners to design the pipe layout for complete whole-home coverage. Because the walls are open, we can run pipe cleanly and position inlet valves exactly where they'll be most useful.

→ Pipe layout design included at no extra charge
→ All brands and configurations available
→ Chameleon & Hide-A-Hose retractable rough-in available
→ We coordinate directly with your general contractor
→ Full system test and walkthrough on completion

Existing Homes — Retrofit

Central vacuum systems can be installed in most existing Utah homes with minimal wall disruption. Our technicians route pipe through attics, crawl spaces, and interior wall cavities — keeping drywall cuts to a minimum and patching as they go. We assess each home individually and give you an honest picture of what's involved before any work begins.

→ In-home assessment before any work begins
→ Minimal wall disruption approach
→ Works in most two-story homes, homes with crawl spaces or attic access
→ DIY rough-in kits available if you prefer to do the pipe work yourself
→ Full system test and walkthrough on completion

What's Included

What a Swiss Boy Installation Includes

A complete installation is more than just dropping in a power unit. Here's what we handle from start to finish.

System sizing & layout design

We calculate the right power unit for your home's square footage and design an inlet valve layout that gives you full coverage with the hose length you choose.

PVC pipe rough-in

We run 2" schedule 40 PVC from the power unit to each inlet location, routing through attic, crawl space, or wall cavities as appropriate for your home.

Inlet valve installation

Inlet valves are mounted in the wall, connected to the pipe run, and wired with low-voltage cable back to the power unit. Cover plates installed and patched flush.

Power unit mounting

The power unit is wall-mounted in your garage, basement, or utility room. Exhaust is routed to an exterior wall and the low-voltage wiring is connected to the terminal block.

Full system test

We test suction at every inlet valve, check for air leaks, and verify the system activates correctly at each location before we consider the job done.

Walkthrough & demo

We walk you through how to use the system, explain filter and bag maintenance, and answer any questions before we leave.

Common Questions

Central Vacuum Installation — What Utah Homeowners Ask

How much does central vacuum installation cost in Utah?

A complete installed central vacuum system in Utah typically runs $1,500–$3,000 depending on the power unit, number of inlet valves, and home layout. New construction installs cost less than retrofits because walls are open and pipe routing is straightforward. Retractable hose systems (Chameleon or Hide-A-Hose) add to the cost but eliminate the external hose entirely. Call us for a free bid specific to your home — there's no obligation and we'll give you a straight number.

How long does a central vacuum installation take?

A standard new construction rough-in typically takes half a day. A retrofit installation in an existing home usually takes one full day for a typical two-story home with 3–4 inlets, depending on wall access. Retractable hose systems take slightly longer due to the additional valve and hose components. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess your home.

Can a central vacuum be installed in any home?

Most Utah homes are good candidates — especially two-story homes, homes with accessible attics or crawl spaces, and any home currently under construction. Slab-on-grade single-story homes with no attic access can be more challenging but are often still workable depending on the floor plan. Call us and describe your home — we'll give you an honest assessment before you commit to anything.

What's the best central vacuum brand for a Utah home?

For most Utah homes we recommend BEAM or Vacuflo as the power unit. BEAM is the most widely installed brand in the country, is extremely quiet, and has excellent parts availability for long-term service. Vacuflo's cyclonic filtration is a great choice if you have allergies or pets since it maintains full suction regardless of canister fill level. For condos or apartments where a traditional rough-in isn't possible, the Intervac CondoVac 660 is the right solution. We'll help you pick the right system for your specific situation.

Do you install retractable hose systems?

Yes — we install more Chameleon and Hide-A-Hose retractable hose systems in Utah than any other dealer. Retractable systems store the hose inside the wall at each inlet valve. You pull the hose out when you need it and it retracts automatically when you're done — no external hose to store, no dragging it from room to room. Both Chameleon and Hide-A-Hose can be installed in new construction or retrofitted into existing homes.
