Unico Mini Ducts Fit Anywhere, Save Energy

Unico Mini Ducts Fit Anywhere, Save Energy

Unico High-Velocity HVAC Systems

eComfort has partnered with Unico to bring residential and commercial property owners the most flexible HVAC system on the market for efficient heating and cooling in virtually any space. 

The Unico high-velocity HVAC system installs in tight spaces and has almost zero air leakage. For comparison, traditional systems are bulkier, more rigid, and can lose up to 25 percent of heating and cooling energy. Furthermore, a Unico mini duct system can deliver up to 9 tons of air conditioning in the same space as a 3-ton conventional unit

The secret lies in Unico’s flexible two-inch tubing, which can fit out of sight in most ceiling and wall cavities, under the floor, or even inside traditional ductwork. This makes it perfect for retrofitting historic or traditional homes, where preserving the existing structure is essential.

Quiet & Efficient 

Since it has one-third the surface area of conventional ducting, Unico ductwork loses one-third less energy before it is even installed. Furthermore, it’s insulated and wrapped in an outer vapor barrier for even more energy retention. 

Unico can also remove up to 30 percent more humidity than conventional systems. This makes your space feel cooler than it is, allowing you to set your temperature higher in cooling mode and save energy. 

The insulation and inner nylon core also help reduce noise, so the flowing air should sound no louder than a soft whisper.

Provides Enhanced Comfort 

The Unico System operates on the principle of “aspiration,” and gently mixes with the room’s air for consistent, draft-free temperatures. In fact, the temperature differential should never be more than two degrees from your thermostat’s location, providing greater comfort in homes, businesses, warehouses, and more. 

 

Ease-of-Installation 

As mentioned, the Unico system’s small physical size eliminates space concerns, making it simple to install on both new construction and remodeling jobs. Most Unico installations take only a couple of days, compared to up to a week for traditional systems.
