Central vacuum systems are installed by a professional. The installer will drill holes in your walls and run the vacuum tubing through them to the various inlets around your home. They will also install a central vacuum power unit, usually in the garage or basement. If you're thinking of installing a central vacuum system yourself, be aware that it's not a job for the faint of heart. There are many things that can go wrong, and unless you're an experienced contractor, it's likely that you'll end up doing more damage than good. It's best to leave it to the professionals.

Central vacuum systems consist of a few main components: the inlet, the collection unit, and the tubing. The inlet is typically installed in a closet or other out-of-the-way spot in your home. The collection unit can be mounted on the wall or placed on the floor. And finally, the tubing is run between the inlet and the collection unit. The installation process will vary depending on your specific system and home layout, but generally speaking it's a pretty straightforward process. You'll need to drill some holes in your walls (or floor), run some tubing, and connect everything up. You can usually do all of this yourself with a few simple tools and some basic instructions from the manufacturer.
