I'd imagine a central vac would take a bit more power simply because it has to suck the debris so much farther than a normal vacuum. If you really want to check, and it would be cool if you did, hook up the vac system to a kill-a-watt and report the power usage. We can compare that to a normal vacuum cleaner then.
