Where should the vacuum unit be located?
Ideally, the unit should be located in a basement (if there is one), on an outside wall, and in a position which minimizes the pipe run. The next best location is a garage, again on an outside wall and in a position that minimizes the pipe run. Otherwise, the unit can be located in a utility room or closet on the lower level of the house. If this location is chosen, use of a unit with a noise-reduction feature is recommended.
