Unico® Air Conditioning Systems in Chicago’s North Shore
High-Velocity AC Installation & Repair for Older Homes
Conventional heating and cooling systems are not always suited for older homes. Many Chicago North Shore properties were built long before central air was standard, which means tight framing, plaster walls, finished attics, and radiator heat can make traditional ductwork a poor fit. You need a solution tailored to your home’s architecture that protects comfort without compromising original character.
At American Vintage Home, our HVAC experts specialize in delivering modern air conditioning solutions to older homes throughout Chicagoland. That is why we are proud to offer the Unico air conditioning system. Built specifically for radiator-heated homes, Unico delivers the comfort and efficiency homeowners expect from central air while helping preserve the charm of older North Shore homes without requiring a major renovation.
To have a Unico System installed in your home, call American Vintage Home at (847) 999-4595 to schedule your consultation.

The goal is simple: whole-home comfort with minimal disruption and results that justify the investment.

SpacePak vs. Unico
Deciding between SpacePak and Unico? Either way, we’ve got you covered. Give us a call at (847) 999-4595, and we can help you decide whether a Unico or SpacePak installation would be best for your home based on heat type, layout, and comfort goals.
How Does Unico Work To Cool Your Home?
The high-velocity Unico System uses aspiration to gently mix and distribute air throughout the home. It controls humidity by passing air through the cooling coils at a 24- to 26-degree temperature differential, while traditional HVAC systems can only reduce the temperature by 15 to 17 degrees.
That humidity advantage can be especially noticeable during Chicago’s summer stretches, when the goal is not only cooler air but better overall comfort. When a system is designed correctly for an older home’s floors, additions, and room-to-room airflow, you can reduce hot spots and improve consistency throughout the home.

Unico System’s Ductwork Fits in With Your Home’s Decor
You would never want obtrusive ductwork throughout your home. With a Unico System, living space is not compromised. The ductwork is routed within the existing structure to keep ducts out of sight whenever possible.
Unico also offers a wide selection of outlet styles and colors to match your home’s decor. This is especially important in older North Shore homes where trim profiles, built-ins, and architectural symmetry matter. The right outlet plan helps preserve the look and feel of the rooms while improving comfort.
