Even Temperatures and Better Humidity Control with Unico SDHV
Unico's high-velocity technology means the temperature throughout your Concord home is never greater than two degrees from the thermostat setting.
Unico uses Aspiration technology. Conventional forced-air systems dump air into a room, creating wide temperature swings. The Unico System gently draws air into a room, creating draft-free comfort and even temperatures in every room, wall to wall, ceiling to floor.
The Unico System removes 30 percent more humidity than a conventional HVAC system. You can comfortably set the thermostat higher in the summer, saving you money on energy costs one degree at a time.
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality and Energy Efficiency
The Unico System manages heat loss and air leaks in your HVAC system far better than conventional ductwork. Because the Unico ductwork has one-third the surface area of typical ducting, it has one-third less thermal loss.
The supply tubing is also wrapped with insulation and an outer vapor barrier, keeping nearly all of the thermal energy within the duct.
The Unico ductwork is engineered for simplicity and air tightness. ENERGY STAR® notes that traditional systems can lose up to 25 percent of the airflow they produce because of leaky ductwork. The Unico System loses less than five percent.
The Unico System adapts perfectly to any residential, multifamily, commercial, or industrial setting. It operates like any other central air system-only with more benefits.
