How Does Unico Work to Cool Your Chicago North Shore Home?
- The high-velocity Unico system uses “aspiration” to gently mix and then distribute air throughout the home.
- Controls humidity by passing air through the cooling coils at 24° to 26° temperature differential, while traditional HVAC systems can only reduce the temperature by 15° to 17°.

Unico FAQs
Q: How noisy are Unico systems?
A: When installed properly, Unico systems generate the same 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.
Q: What equipment is installed?
A: A new Unico 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
Q: How big are the ducts that are installed?
A: 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 7-9 inches.
Q: Are Unico Systems as comfortable as conventional air conditioning?
A: Yes, if not more so. Unico 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. As a result, rooms stay a comfortable, uniform temperature.
Q: How long does it take to install a Unico system?
A: Generally, it takes 5-7 work days to install your whole Unico 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.
