How to plan for an install.

Are you building or renovating? Whether you’re building or renovating a single storey, a duplex, or a double storey, there’s a ducted vacuum system out there to cover your home and garage needs. 

The planning phase before commencing a build is the best way to get your ducted vacuum installed. The process is easy and the installation less invasive. Our process is easy and we ensure any unanswered questions are answered. And no, having a home made with steel framing will not be an obstacle for a ducted vacuum system.  

Some common questions asked are what if an inlet cant be placed in the walls? For that, we can simply place the inlet point in the floor, keeping the orientation and presentation of the room almost as though nothing ever happened. 

When building or renovation, we look through the plans to understand the size of the house, where the inlet points will be located to reach every part of the house, as well as the system size. An often overlooked detail is how frequent the vacuum will be in use. Many of our users will dedicate the ducted system for a once a week clean while others will use it as their main vacuum. It’s important that we understand the layout and size of the home, as well as expected use, to properly recommend a ducted vacuum system that won’t lose suction via the amount of inlet points or length of piping, as well as bin capacity for the more frequent user.

We work closely with builders to not delay the building process, leaving you with a hassle free experience. 

Want to install a ducted unit in your existing home?

Great! If you are looking to get a ducted vacuum installed in your existing home, we will assess your home and send our team of specialists to easily retrofit a ducted vacuum with minimal disruption to the internals.

How we plan our install:

Step 1: We look through the house plans and locate the best places for the inlets to be placed. During this step, we discuss where the doors and furniture will be placed to avoid inconveniences when in use. 

Step 2: Once the inlet points have been confirmed, we will calculate how much piping is needed to run through the internals of the home, factoring in the corners, drop downs, and interference from other necessary components in the structure of the house.

Step 3: We will compare which vacuum unit works best with your property to worth with the length of the piping, the number of inlet points, as well as the capacity of the system itself. How does the length of pipework affect your systems suction? Believe it or not, but air also experiences friction when in the pipeline. The length of pipe and the bends to get from the inlet points to the vacuum itself all play a roll in how many litres of air pass through the system.

Step 4: All necessary piping is organised and the installation process takes place. Here we run all the pipes needed and also mount the vacuum unit to its suitable location.
