 What is the Unico System?
The Unico System is a small duct central heating, air conditioning and ventilation system manufactured by Unico System International Limited (USIL), headquartered in Wales. The product has been on the market in the United States and Canada for the past 20 years, and over 250,000 of these systems have been installed there. The system has been profiled in numerous North American magazines and media outlets, most prominently on the television programme This Old House.
What are the system benefits?
Unico System’s modular air handlers and coils can be installed in ceilings, floors, crawlspaces and cupboards, and its flexible 80 millimetre supply tubing can be routed through, in and around existing construction, eliminating the need for either ungainly metal ducts or wall-hung split-type systems. Unico System not only fits where others can’t but it also creates even room temperatures without drafts. The system is very quiet and unobtrusive in appearance.
Is it a top notch heating/cooling system?
The Unico System is a perfect option for heating, cooling, ventilation or all three combined. The system heats in conjunction with a boiler; can both heat and cool in heat pump mode; and can be used for direct expansion cooling. Additionally, the system is a perfect compliment to underfloor heating systems and for geothermal applications. Many users have the system installed for hot water heating only and then simply add air conditioning at a later time. As a benefit to the plumbing market, the system can also cool using chilled water.
How is the system used in the UK?
The system can be used for residential, commercial and industrial applications. The range of applications used in the United Kingdom so far include executive or larger self-build homes; historic refurbishments including a number of listed properties; cinemas; professional training facilities; factories; numerous offices; and kitchens.
