Shop Power Units by Square Footage

Not sure which central vacuum brand or model to choose? Start with the size of your home. Shopping by square footage makes it easier to narrow down power units based on the cleaning area they're designed to serve.

As a conservative starting point, we recommend doubling your home's square footage when comparing manufacturer coverage ratings. This provides additional capacity for basements, longer piping runs and possible future additions to your central vacuum system.

01
Determine Your Home's Size

Start with your home's approximate square footage. Consider finished basements and any additional areas that will be served by your central vacuum system.

02
Allow Extra Cleaning Capacity

As a general shopping guideline, multiply your home's square footage by two. Use that figure to help compare the recommended coverage of available power units.

03
Compare Available Power Units

Browse the square footage categories below, then compare individual models by performance, filtration, electrical requirements and installation needs.

CENTRAL VACUUM SIZING GUIDE

How Do You Choose the Right Size Central Vacuum?

Your home's square footage is a helpful starting point, but it isn't the only factor that matters. Piping layout, cleaning requirements and the manufacturer's performance specifications should also be considered when selecting a central vacuum power unit.

01
Consider the Entire Cleaning Area

Think beyond the main living space. Finished basements, garages and additional floors may increase the area your central vacuum needs to serve.

02
Account for Your Piping Layout

Longer piping runs, multiple floors and the overall system design can affect cleaning performance. Square footage alone doesn't tell the entire story.

03
Compare Manufacturer Ratings

Recommended coverage areas can vary by manufacturer and model. Review performance specifications and installation requirements before making your final selection.
