Older homes don’t often incorporate having central HVAC in their designs, since the modern HVAC systems we’re familiar with didn’t exist when many homes were first designed.

They require much less space to operate efficiently, and can often be installed without being an eyesore, all while providing high-efficiency, powerful heating and cooling for your home.

SpacePak High-Velocity HVAC FAQs
Is the SpacePak system noisy?
When properly installed, SpacePak systems generate the same sound as new conventional forced air systems. While the system is high-velocity, sound attenuation tubing near all your vents acts as a buffer to reduce sound.
Do SpacePak systems offer the same comfort as conventional air conditioning systems?
Yes, and sometimes more so, as the SpacePak system can remove up to 30% more moisture from the air than conventional forced-air systems. This is a great benefit during Oak Park’s high-humidity summers.
How long does it take to install a SpacePak or Unico system?
Depending on the size of your home, it generally takes five to seven workdays. We want to make sure every installation we do fits a home perfectly and delivers optimal system performance.
