Total Comfort with The Unico System

Total Comfort with The Unico System

The Unico System delivers total comfort by providing even temperatures, improved indoor air quality, better humidity, and energy efficient performance in any home. Designed for both homeowners and HVAC professionals, it offers a complete comfort solution that goes beyond traditional heating and cooling.

January is when comfort challenges are more noticeable. Cold weather exposes uneven heating, dry indoor air, and rising energy costs. The Unico System addresses these issues directly, creating a comfortable and healthy indoor environment throughout the winter season.

What Is Total Comfort in a Home

Total comfort means more than simply heating a space. It means consistent temperatures, clean air, balanced humidity, quiet operation, and reliable efficiency working together. The Unico System is engineered to deliver all of these benefits as a complete whole home comfort system.

How Does The Unico System Provide Even Temperature

The Unico System provides even temperature by gently mixing air throughout the home using small diameter ducts and high velocity air delivery.

Aspiration allows the supply air to draw surrounding air into the airflow, creating a continuous mixing effect throughout the space. This process prevents hot and cold spots that are common with traditional HVAC systems and distributes air evenly from floor to ceiling and room to room.

For homeowners, this means consistent comfort with no chilly bedrooms or overheated living areas. For professionals, this means dependable comfort performance even in complex layouts and multi-level homes.  

How The Unico System Improves Indoor Air Quality

The Unico System improves indoor air quality by continuously circulating and filtering air at a higher rate than traditional systems. Faster air turnover helps reduce dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. This is especially important in January when homes are sealed tightly to keep cold air out.

Clean air supports healthier living spaces and improved comfort for families, guests, and occupants.

How The Unico System Removes 30% More Humidity

The Unico System provides greater humidity removal, up to 30%, with the superior and efficient design of our cooling coils, creating a perfectly comfortable environment. What this means for you is that you can have your thermostat set higher than you typically would, yet have the conditioned space feel as though your thermostat is set lower, saving you energy and money. The illustration to the right shows the amount of moisture left in the space by traditional units compared to The Unico System.

How The Unico System is Energy Efficient

You always hear about SEER and a HVAC unit’s efficiency, but did you ever think about ductwork having its own efficiency? Heat can leak through the walls of the duct (thermal loss) and air can leak through its seams (duct leakage). In both cases, the Unico System is far superior to a conventional system. Insulation and size determine the thermal loss. Workmanship and design determine the duct leakage.

 

The Unico System ductwork has 1/3 the surface area of conventional ducting so before it is even installed the Unico System ductwork has 1/3 less thermal loss. The supply tubing is also wrapped with insulation and an outer vapor barrier, which keeps nearly all of the thermal energy within the duct. In the case of duct leakage, the Unico SDHV system is engineered for simplicity and air tightness. It has been documented through third-party testing that traditional systems can lose up to 25% of the air that the unit puts out through leaky ductwork. The Unico System loses less than 5%. This means that with the Unico System you’re getting what you pay for.

 

Quiet Comfort and Flexible Installation

 

Comfort also includes sound, or the lack of it. The Unico System operates quietly thanks to its insulated, flexible tubing and smooth air deliver, eliminating the loud bursts of air common with traditional systems.

 

Its compact design and adaptable ductwork make it ideal for new construction, renovations, and older or historic homes where space is limited. The Unico System fits where traditional systems cannot, without sacrificing performance.

 

Total Comfort You Can Feel All Winter

 

If uneven temperatures, dry air, or high energy costs are making winter uncomfortable, The Unico System offers a smarter solution. By delivering even temperatures, cleaner air, balanced humidity, quiet operation, and superior efficiency, The Unico System provides true total comfort in every room of the home, no matter the season.

But true comfort is more than a cozy blanket or a warm drink. It is about creating a home where every room feels welcoming, warm, and consistent.

Every room feels the same temperature, so no one is too hot or too cold. The system operates quietly, keeping conversations, laughter, and music at the center of your gatherings.

Unico Goes Global!

Unico Goes Global!

We’ve always been proud of our status as the best manufacturer of small-duct high velocity HVAC systems in North America, but we aren’t content to “hide our light under a bushel” by limiting ourselves to our own continent. For over two decades, Unico has been working hard on establishing a presence in international markets such as the United Kingdom and China.

 

Our UK Team has established solid representation, extensive distribution, and key partnerships, bringing our superior comfort and efficiency to thousands of homes and businesses throughout the British Isles. Similarly, our expansion efforts in China have resulted in dependable representation, distribution, and sales into key urban markets in this economic powerhouse.

 

Over the last several years, we’ve even gained a foothold Down Under – with representation, distribution, and installations into homes and businesses in Australia and New Zealand. And, most recently, we’ve partnered with Ireland’s largest HVAC distributor to bring The Unico System to the burgeoning Irish HVAC market.

 

And we’re not stopping there – we are currently pursuing opportunities on the African continent in Ghana and Nigeria; in the Eastern Europe countries of Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary; and even in the Middle East, with potential sales into Israel.

 

You can see the fruits of these efforts by viewing many examples on the International section of our Case Studies webpage.

 

All of this helps to increase knowledge and awareness of the features and benefits of The Unico System on the world stage. So, next time you splurge on that European vacation or African safari, don’t be surprised if you spot our unobtrusive outlets in your AirBnB, VRBO rental, or hotel room (of course, you’ll have to look very hard)!
