The team at Five Star HVAC Services know a thing or two about the benefits of SDHV as a key customer offering. Owner Mark Pawlowski, General Manager Pete Gambino, and their crew of pros have been installing The Unico System in the Greater Chicagoland area for almost 30 years. Those of us of a certain age may remember the name Northstar as a top provider of HVAC systems in Chicago. Master HVAC technician Mark earned his small duct bona fides there before launching Five Star in 2019.
Pete estimates that 75% of Five Star’s business consists of residential installation and maintenance work, with most of it occurring in the Windy City’s iconic older housing stock as well as in many high-rise apartments and condominiums. “It’s why we love Unico so much,” he says, “its versatility offers many ways to solve thorny problems due to space restrictions, comfort demands, and efficiency requirements. When you’re dealing with as many niche applications as we do, you need a premium product that dependably meets your customers’ needs. For us, The Unico System is that premium product.”
Five Star HVAC’s relationship with Unico has even taken them to some interesting places outside of Chicago, having recently installed three Unico Systems in a log cabin hotel in the heart of Montana. Notes Pete, “Like many of the tough installations we tackle, this project simply wouldn’t have been possible without The Unico System.”
We look forward to hearing about more unique applications from the pros at Five Star HVAC Services in the years to come.
