Multi-Room & Retrofit Ports: Add, move, or optimize inlets for better coverage—without major construction.

Add central vacuum convenience to the rooms you use most—without opening every wall. Our retrofit approach uses attic, crawlspace, or basement pathways to add new inlets, relocate poor placements, or create garage and patio ports for vehicles and outdoor furniture.

Ideal projects

•Converting long hose runs into two shorter, easier zones

•Adding upstairs ports or ports near high-traffic entries

•Creating dedicated garage/utility cleaning stations

What to expect

We scan for routing options, mark discreet cut-in points, fish wiring, and patch/paint small openings as needed. You’ll get better coverage, shorter cleaning time, and less hose to manage.

How many additional ports do I really need?
We map hose reach vs. your layout. A typical plan is one port per 600–800 sq ft, but doorways and furniture can change placement. Retractable hose systems reduce port count.
Can you add upstairs ports in a finished home?
Yes. We usually route through the attic and drop the pipe inside an interior wall. Low-voltage control wiring travels with the pipe.
What if my home is on a concrete slab?
We can route through garages, closets, soffits, or exterior wall chases. Core drilling is occasionally used for neat, discrete passes.
Will new ports match my existing plates?
We carry matching wall plates and colors for the major brands, plus trim options so everything looks original.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
Most single-port additions take 4-8 hours. Costs vary by routing complexity; multi-port packages reduce per-port pricing. We’ll give a fixed, written quote after a quick survey.
