Hello,
My spouse and I just bought a townhouse. It is roughed in for central vac - the pipes and the outlets are all there. So I went and bought a vac at Sears. I want it in my basement. The basement is unfinished. In the ceiling on either side of the stairwell are two (one on each side) pipes, that look like central vac pipes. So the woman at Sears said it was easy enough to install it ourselves if the rough in is there. She said to connect the two pipes coming from the ceiling and then connect that to the central vac. Okay sounds simple enough - is that the correct way to do it?
Secondly, I discovered we have no electrical outlets in the basement except for the ones for the laundry. I'm going to have an electrician come and put some in. Do I just need an ordinary one for my central vac (I haven't taken it out of the box yet to check it out, incase I have to return it).
Thanks for any responses, in advance.
