What to know about Central vacuum
A central vacuum system replaces the portable vacuum with a power unit installed in the basement, garage or utility room, a network of rigid pipes hidden in the walls and floors, and wall inlets in each part of the house. You plug a lightweight hose into the nearest inlet, the suction starts, and the dirt travels through the pipes to a canister or bag at the power unit, well away from the living space.

Common central vacuum questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
