SpacePak Delivers Superior Comfort for Your North Shore Home

The SpacePak system pioneered and perfected the concept of “aspiration,” which is the use of a high-velocity air stream that gently mixes with the air in the room for a uniform, draft-free and comfortable environment. Hot and cold spots, drafts, and other temperature fluctuation problems that are common with conventional heating and cooling systems or window units are virtually eliminated.

SpacePak’s unique cooling method removes 30% more humidity from the air than traditional duct systems. So, even during the warmest, most humid months, the air in your home will be drier and more comfortable. The equipment operates quietly without disrupting your home comfort.

SpacePak FAQs

How noisy are SpacePak air conditioning systems?

When installed properly, SpacePak systems generate the same amount of sound as a new conventional forced air system. These systems accomplish this by adding sound attenuation tubing near all the vents. So even though the air is traveling at a higher velocity than in conventional forced air systems, the attenuation tubing acts as a buffer that reduces the sound. The result is a quiet operating system that delivers relaxing, soothing comfort.

Are SpacePak systems as comfortable as conventional air conditioning?

Yes, if not more so. SpacePak systems remove up to 30% more moisture than conventional forced air systems. This distinction is critical to your comfort level in a high-humidity climate like Chicago in the summer. Plus, there is less stratification, or temperature difference from floor to ceiling, with a SpacePak system. Rooms stay a comfortable, uniform temperature.

What equipment is installed with a SpacePak system?

A new SpacePak system includes:

  • Blower coil — installed in the attic or basement
  • Condensing unit — installed outside
  • Main supply trunk tubing
  • Individual branched supply duct tubing with sound attenuators
  • Vents throughout the home
  • Refrigerant lines that connect the condensing unit to the blower coil
  • A drain line that runs from the blower to a designated drain
  • Electric lines that run to the blower coil and condensing unit
  • Return air filter grille that allows air to travel from the home to the blower

How long does it take to install a SpacePak or Unico system?

Generally, it takes five to seven workdays to install your whole SpacePak system. Of course, the larger your home size, the longer the installation. We take the time to make sure every installation fits the home perfectly to ensure optimal system performance, longevity, and energy efficiency.

How big are SpacePak ducts?

The supply tubing that travels through the walls and ceiling has a 2-inch diameter on the inside and 3.5-inch diameter on the outside. The main duct line installed in the attic or basement has a diameter of 7 inches to 9 inches.

Where are SpacePak vents installed?

Vents can be installed on the ceiling, in flooring, or high up on the wall. Floor vents are installed with a fine mesh screen to prevent anything falling into them. We determine where the vents should go based on your home’s architecture, layout, and square footage, as well as your family’s sleeping locations and traffic patterns.

What do the vents look like?

The round, inconspicuous vents come in a variety of different looks, including basic white, unfinished wood, finished aluminum and brass, and Victorian embellishment. View the SpacePak brochure to see some examples.

How big are SpacePak vents?

Vents are just under 5 inches in diameter. The center opening is about 2 inches in diameter.
