Homeowners pull out only the hose length needed, vacuum the area, and the central vacuum power unit’s suction automatically retracts the hose back into the wall. No carrying, coiling, or storage closet required.

Installation
The Hide-A-Hose System can be installed in both new construction and existing homes, including multi-story homes. The retractable hose is stored in the in-wall tubing while not in use, making the system both easy to use and store.
Traditional (Standard) Central Vacuum Systems can be converted to a Hide-A-Hose Retractable System by adding additional piping in either a crawl space or an attic. Both existing home installations and traditional system conversions can typically be done with no sheetrock repair needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a retractable hose central vacuum system work?
A Hide-A-Hose retractable central vacuum system stores the hose inside your wall at each inlet valve. Pull out only the length of hose you need and begin vacuuming. When you are done, the suction from the central vacuum power unit draws the hose back into the wall automatically, with no manual coiling or storage required.
What is the best central vacuum system for new construction?
For new construction, Hide-A-Hose retractable central vacuum systems are designed to be built into the walls during the framing stage. Hose lengths of 30, 40, 50, or 60 feet allow each inlet to cover between 900 and 2,300 square feet, making it straightforward to plan coverage for any floor plan during the build process.
Can you install a central vacuum system yourself?
Yes. Hide-A-Hose offers do-it-yourself central vacuum kits that include the components needed for a complete installation. Retrofitting an existing home typically takes one day. The kits are designed so homeowners with basic tool skills can complete the installation without requiring a professional contractor for the full project.
What are the benefits of a retractable vacuum hose?
A retractable vacuum hose eliminates carrying, untangling, and storing a long central vacuum hose. Pull only the length you need from the wall inlet, vacuum the area, then release and the suction retracts the hose automatically. This reduces physical effort, keeps the hose out of sight when not in use, and speeds up the entire cleaning process.

A do-it-yourself kit is available for homeowners who want to handle the installation themselves without hiring a full installation crew.
What hose lengths are available for the Hide-A-Hose system?
Hide-A-Hose retractable central vacuum hoses come in 30, 40, 50, and 60-foot lengths. The right length depends on the square footage of each area you need to cover. Each inlet covers between 900 and 2,300 square feet depending on hose length chosen. A dealer or the online estimate tool can help determine the correct configuration for your home.

Testimonials
Very happy customer
Just had my system repaired by Emily and she did a fantastic job. My system is back up and working. I’m thrilled with the ease of vacuuming again.
Jason listened and helped me find my central vacuum solution!
Jason at Hide a Hose of AZ was so very helpful. I have an older central vacuum system. The powered hose stopped working. I had ordered a replacement hose but it didn’t exactly fit the old power head. I tried to research a new replacement power head and had narrowed down my best options but didn’t have enough information to decide. I stated making calls and found Jason at Hide a Hose of AZ. He took the time to understand what I had, what I wanted and what I needed to have my wants and needs meet. He connected me to a local dealer of the main power head I was looking at to allow me to test the equipment before buying. If I ever need to have my unit repaired or a new system installed, I will be calling Jason at Hide a Hose of AZ.
Still in LOVE after all these years
absolutely LOVE my hide a hose. I dreamed about this and tried to get a contractor to help me make it happen years ago….. yes I am very old…one day years ago I found Hide a Hose ….like to think I wished it here. Joyce helped me with a tiny problem that I created yesterday ! Immediately it was fixed. Love this company ! Customer service is for life!!!!
Obsessed!
I have always loved vacuuming, but with my new Hide-A-Hose system I love it even more. I am actually obsessed with how easy and efficient it is! I am questioning why I ever waited so long to get one installed and highly recommend putting one in your home! It is the first thing I show people when they come to my house. My favorite part is the EBK 250 attachment because the light really shows the dirt and dust on my floors. I am beyond happy with my Hide-A-Hose and look forward to cleaning now.
