I'd go for it...
I've never had or used a central vacuum system so I cannot really miss something I've never had. That said, if it's something you think you might want down the road, now would definitely be a good time to get the plumbing in place instead of having to tear back into the walls again later. I think it's safe to say that it would save you considerable time, money and effort when you're ready to install the system.

 Not to mention it will add to the value of the house you are remodeling id say go for it while the walls are down but... Do make sure the unit you are installing has enough suciton air floow CFM to moove the dirt from basement to atic . As you know , nothing worse than having an underpowered central vac get a sligtly over size unit you be glad you did .And that way it will have enough hummpf forthe job and yo u can pick the style of hose you want and add to the tool kit . | ||

Like many have said here, it will add value to your home. Personally, I don't like central vac. I have used central vac in a couple of places. I find the hose to be cumbersome. Both units had air powered turbo cat power heads. Which I did not like. The one that had an electric power head option was much better.
Neither of them were installed correctly and I to bring my Kirby to get to certain areas. Also both were cyclonic and no bags. Emptying that container was just as bad as dealing with a bag less vacuum. Perhaps if they were bagged units I would not have disliked them as much. Like I said the hose was heavy and cumbersome and always caught around the leg of something. I just found the Kirby so much easier even if I had to change out to use the hose. Both units did have nice tools which was a plus. | ||
