What are the Unico system benefits? |
|
Unico System's modular air handlers and coils can be installed in ceilings, floors, crawlspaces and cupboards, and its flexible 80 millimeter supply tubing can be routed through, in and around existing construction, eliminating the need for either ungainly metal ducts or wall-hung split-type systems. Unico System not only fits where others can't but it also creates even room temperatures without drafts. The system is very quiet and unobtrusive in appearance. |

Is Unico a top notch heating/cooling system? |
|
The Unico System is a perfect option for heating, cooling, ventilation or all three combined. The system heats in conjunction with a boiler; can both heat and cool in heat pump mode; and can be used for direct expansion cooling. Additionally, the system is a perfect compliment to underfloor heating systems and for geothermal applications. Many users have the system installed for hot water heating only and then simply add air conditioning at a later time. As a benefit to the plumbing market, the system can also cool using chilled water. |

Quiet Performance |
 |
The Unico System outperforms conventional heating and cooling systems by utilizing a patented high velocity system of air. Instead of typical units which operate at 500-600 feet per minute at the outlet, the Unico System operates at 2,000 feet per minute. But while you’ll feel the comfort in our system, you won’t hear it. The air handler is designed to isolate noise and vibration. In addition, our uniquely designed supply tubes are lined with sound-dampening, spun-bond nylon, providing you with quiet comfort.

| Draft-Free, Even Temperatures
Throughout Any Room
|
|
| The Unico System works on the principle of aspiration. Unlike conventional systems which often leave hot and cold spots as well as drafts throughout the home or building, Unico’s streams of air enter a room and gently mix with the room’s existing air currents. From floor to ceiling, air temperatures are even and drafts are eliminated. |
Conventional systems dump air, which causes drafts. |
The Unico System gently circulates air throughout each room.
