Technology that Works with the Environment
Are you considering or currently building the energy efficient home of your dreams? This equipment is the leading solution for your energy efficient heating and cooling needs.
Forward-thinking builders, architects, and savvy homeowners who want the very best in green, energy-saving technology are requesting The Unico System for their state-of-the-art home designs.
Here's Why:
It’s well known in the HVAC industry that conventional duct systems are burdened with air leakage rates of between 20% and 50%. See this article written by an industry publication.
The greatly reduced diameter and surface area of our plenum and flexible ductwork ensures thermal operating losses are smaller than conventional ductwork, which has a much larger surface area. In addition, we offer our ductwork in multiple R-values to save customers money and comply with the various code requirements in various regions of the US.
Unico works in tandem with Inverter technology, ensuring your system is programmed to use only the energy required based on the current demand and weather conditions your home needs at any given moment. On a mild day, your home needs a much smaller portion of your system's total capacity to make you comfortable.
The Unico System® is compatible with this latest inverter technology (an inverter is a special type of compressor located within the o0utdoor section, or condenser. It is designed and engineered to match your comfort needs all while optimizing energy efficiency.
These high velocity HVAC products fit into tighter spaces and seamlessly integrate extremely well with the latest energy efficient construction techniques. They bring the highest level of insulation, air filtration, and are compatible with the most efficient inverters on the market today.
End users experience greatly improved comfort in the form of greater humidity removal, more even room temperatures, and draft-free operation. The Unico System has earned accolades and recommendations from designers and installers for its design flexibility and overall efficiency.
The Unico high velocity HVAC System® is frequently chosen in homes and projects where LEED, HERS and Net Zero Classifications are called for in the construction and design process. Several of our United States government historical homes and projects on the national registry recognize this product's unique efficiency by selecting it as the product choice for its prestigious DOE Challenge Homes.
Unico is well-recognized online for their superior support to both contractors and homeowners alike. They also have a dedicated group of professionals supporting the design and sale of our products.
Feel free to send us the electronic plan of your project and our design professionals will do a 100% free high velocity heating/cooling calculation and detailed design for you.
Considering an air conditioning system for your home involves a lot of choices and important decisions:
Unico strongly believes they offer the best air conditioning system on the market. Not just the best high velocity AC system, but the best central cooling and heating system, period!
While Unico admits that's a bold statement, they have a lot of experience and research to back it up.
Here's why:
A Unico high velocity AC system is small; a lot smaller than conventional systems. About 70% smaller when it’s installed. That’s right….Unico only requires about 30% of the space that ordinary HVAC systems consume.
This means much less space considerations and drastically reduces remodeling concerns. So, if you are looking to add air conditioning to your current home, building a new construction home, or simply replacing your existing system, the Unico mini duct system will fit where other systems can't and take up much less space in the end.
And that's only the beginning.
“Small- or mini-duct systems are a whole lot more efficient. Because the ducts in these systems are significantly smaller than traditional systems, there is less surface area for energy loss….”
Forbes Magazine Oct. 30, 2019
The Unico high velocity mini-duct supply tubing is designed to be quiet and efficient, with a nylon inner core and comes wrapped in efficient insulation that reduces the sound of moving air.
The air handlers are manufactured to isolate noise and vibration, with closed cell, sound-deadening insulation. Together, these features reduce sound levels to the equivalent of a soft whisper. Enjoy the comfort without the rumbling air airflow noises so common.
Traditional systems have always had a basic flaw; they distribute air unevenly, blasting air into rooms, creating uncomfortable drafts and uneven temperatures throughout your spaces in your home.
The Unico System employs a principle called aspiration, creating a gentle suction around the air flow that attracts and mixes the room air into its stream of cooled air. This delivers even, draft free cooling, to each room and each story of your home, from floor to ceiling.
The temperature differential is no greater than 2 degrees throughout your home.
“And when it comes to dehumidification, small-duct systems are able to provide up to 30% greater humidity removal than traditional systems. This means that homeowners can set their thermostats higher on hot, humid days without sacrificing comfort.”
