A lightweight hose is stored in the piping behind each inlet. Simply pull out the hose and engage the lock, attach the cleaning tool of your choice, and begin cleaning.
When you’re finished, disengage the lock, and watch the suction from the vacuum power unit retract the hose back into the wall.
No more carrying a hose from inlet to inlet. With our patented locking system, you will always have the perfect length of hose. You don’t have to pull out 50″ of hose to clean up a mess just 10′ away.

Why Hide-A-Hose?
Hide-A-Hose combines the powerful performance and health benefits of a central vacuum system with the ease and convenience that surpasses portable vacuums.
Saves Space,
Saves Time
By eliminating the need to store hoses in closets, Hide-A-Hose allows for longer and lighter hoses. This innovation reduces the number of inlets by about 50%, meaning you spend less time connecting and disconnecting from vacuum ports.
With Hide-A-Hose, the hose retracts into the wall in seconds, saving you the time and effort of winding up the hose and storing it in a closet.
Convenience
Our hoses can be up to 60 ft long, and with our patented locking system, you will always have the perfect length of hose! You don’t have to pull the hose all the way out to clean up a mess just 10’ away. Simply pull, lock, vacuum, and retract. Hide-A-Hose is perfect for both whole house cleaning and quick messes.
Healthier Indoor Air
Despite their filtration systems, most portable vacuums exhaust dust and allergens back into your living space. Even if you can’t see it, most of us recognize that distinct post cleaning smell left by a portable vacuum.
Central Vacuum systems create a much healthier indoor environment since all the dust and allergens are pulled out of the living space and stored in the canister of the power unit which only needs to be emptied out a few times a year.
Versatile
Unlike Portable or Robot vacuums, Hide-A-Hose systems are versatile. Pick an attachment to vacuum whatever surface you need, including carpet, tile, hardwood, stairs, windowsills, baseboards, upholstery, furniture, shades, cars and more.
Value
With a life expectancy of 20+ years, Hide-A-Hose enhances your home’s value and helps ensures its care over the long run.
Quiet
Central Vacuum Power Units are typically installed in your garage or mechanical room to keep the noise away from your living space.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.

What hose lengths are available for the Hide-A-Hose system?
