I guess it depends on the model but probably not. The one the came came with my house has a transformer that's plugged in 24/7. The transformer uses 10 watts in just waiting for me to use it (which is never). I just use a shop vac on the hardwood, tile and vinyl. My wife vacuums the carpets with a canister vac. The central vac has been unplugged for a couple of years but it will come in handy as selling feature when we eventually sell.
