Overview

Built-In Central Vacuum Systems for Auckland Homes

A central vacuum system consists of a powerful motor unit mounted in a garage, utility room or basement, connected by a network of PVC pipes running inside your walls and floors to inlet valves in each room. You simply plug a lightweight hose into the nearest inlet, vacuum, and the dust and debris is whisked away to the central unit rather than being blown back into the room.

Central vacuum systems are three to five times more powerful than portable vacuums and because the motor unit is located away from the living areas, they are significantly quieter. They are especially popular in new builds across Auckland, but Electromech also installs them in existing homes during renovations.

The electrical side of a central vacuum installation requires a licensed electrician to install the dedicated power circuit for the motor unit and run the low-voltage control wiring that allows the system to activate when the hose is plugged in. Electromech handles both the electrical work and coordinates with your central vacuum supplier.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a central vacuum system be installed in an existing Auckland home?
Yes, though it is easier and more cost effective to install during a new build or major renovation when walls are open. In an existing home we can often run pipes through ceiling cavities and inside wall cavities with minimal disruption, similar to retrofitting any new cable run. We will assess your home and advise on the most practical approach during your consultation.
What electrical work is involved in a central vacuum installation?
The electrical requirements for a central vacuum system include a dedicated 15 or 20 amp circuit from your switchboard to the motor unit location, plus low-voltage control wiring running from the motor unit to each inlet valve location. This wiring allows the motor to start automatically when you plug the hose into any inlet valve in the house.
Does Electromech supply the central vacuum unit and pipes?
Electromech specialises in the electrical installation component of central vacuum systems. We work with your chosen central vacuum supplier (such as Cyclovac, Vacuflo or other NZ suppliers) or can recommend reputable suppliers. Your supplier handles the motor unit, PVC pipes and inlet valves while we handle all the electrical work.
How long does the electrical installation take?
For a new build installation where pipes are being run at the framing stage, the electrical work typically takes half a day. For a retrofit in an existing home, the timeframe depends on the number of inlets and the accessibility of the wall and ceiling cavities. We provide an accurate time estimate with your quote.
Is a central vacuum system worth it for an Auckland home?
Most Auckland homeowners who install central vacuum systems are very satisfied with the result. The superior suction power, quieter operation and convenience of lightweight hose use makes vacuuming genuinely easier. Central vacuum systems also add measurable value to a home. For new builds especially, the cost of installation during construction is quite modest relative to the long term benefit.
