How Unico High-Velocity Cooling Works in Older Homes
High-velocity heating and air conditioning systems circulate air through narrow, flexible tubes installed throughout the home. The cooled air is delivered through small, round vents, each less than six inches in diameter, which can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with the home’s interior. Unlike traditional systems, high-velocity cooling ensures even air distribution, enhancing comfort without the need for extensive ductwork.
High-Velocity AC Installation Process
Discreet and space-saving ductwork
One of the significant advantages of a high-velocity cooling system is its discreet installation, making it ideal for older homes where space and aesthetics are a priority. In this Glenside property, we ran the tubing through walls and concealed it in closets, using minimal space. Only one supply trunk was needed, which the owner incorporated into the design of one of the rooms while he was renovating the home.
In the image on the left, you can see the space before the soffit was constructed to conceal the trunk. On the opposite side, we creatively utilized a small portion of a closet to discreetly maneuver the tubing between floors. This thoughtful approach ensures that homeowners enjoy a seamless cooling experience without sacrificing any valuable storage space in their rooms.
Optimized vent placement for efficient air circulation
The high-velocity system’s vents are strategically placed in out-of-the-way locations, such as corners or behind doors, ensuring effective cooling without compromising room aesthetics. The customizable vent colors also allow them to blend into any room design effortlessly.
The Benefits of a Unico High-Velocity System
Whisper-quiet operation
Unlike traditional air conditioning systems, the Unico high-velocity system is whisper-quiet. The sound attenuators built into the tubing drastically reduce noise, so you’ll barely notice when the system is running. Homeowners report only a faint “whoosh” in completely silent rooms.
Consistent temperatures for ultimate comfort
Traditional central air systems often create cold spots and drafts due to uneven air distribution. The Unico System, however, uses a gentle stream of air that permeates the entire room, ensuring consistent temperatures and superior comfort throughout the home
