We are building a new house and it will be "roughed-in" for CV.
My question is this: When they rough it in, where is the best place to have the unit mounted? Naturally, the utility room in the unfinished part of the basement is a logical place but I'd heard that having it in the garage would cut down on the minute dust particles that don't get filtered. As well, having it in the garage would make it quieter. Then, when I mentioned this to my agent, he said that having that volume of air being sucked out of the house while vacuuming (in the winter, when the windows would always be closed) would cause air to try to re-enter the house wherever it can, be it through window or door frames, therefore causing an obvious problem.

Garage - they can be really dusty to empty and they are noisy - keep both annoyances as far away from your living area as possible. It is a vacuum cleaner - not a wind tunnel - what is your agent thinking? If your house is that air tight you should not get too athletic during s*x - you could use up all the air and die! lol

I put mine outside. It is very noisy, and the discharged air/dust is completely outside. You could put it in the utility room and vent it to the outside. Of course, the garage is an option.

Mine is in the basement & I hate it. EVERYONE else around here has their's in the garage. The bonus to that is you can use your central vac for your vehicles.
