Passiv201317 May 2013 12:49Hello, we are planning to build a passive house and would like to integrate a central vacuum system.
We are considering the company Schlauchvec from Cyclovec, as their hose is advertised to be retracted directly into the wall, so you don't have to carry a separate hose around.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Does anyone already have such a system?
Or is there another company that also offers a system where the hose can be retracted?
Is there a central place where you can get information about the various companies offering central vacuum systems?
Are there no well-known companies like Bosch, Siemens, or Miele that offer central vacuum systems?
Our house will be built with a basement, so the system can be installed there.

Hello
We are currently building a new house and also want to integrate a central vacuum system (CVS). We requested a quote for the Schlauchvec system. Standard systems were priced between €1200 and €1600 (approximately $1300 to $1750) excluding installation. It is supposedly simple enough that you can either a) install it yourself or b) give the installer who is already working on the new build a little extra to install the tubing as well.
What I did was contact 7-8 companies and asked them for a quote based on our floor plan. From my research, there is no single supplier that offers all brands. I also noticed that the usual suspects like Miele, Siemens, etc., tend to focus on their standard products.

Then also give the questioner reasons why you advise against it, otherwise they can’t make use of your opinion. 😉 For vacuuming inside the house, you need a long hose. You will definitely twist and turn this hose, and when it is then retracted by the system, it can cause problems and eventually lead to repairs. Also, such a long hose requires a lot of space to be hidden out of sight, so you should plan for a small storage room to keep the hose and other accessories.Similar topics
