Tired of dealing with the mid-summer heat? Thinking about having a Unico air conditioning installed? We understand that you may have some questions about the system as well as the process, so we’ve put together a list of the top ten questions asked:
-
Does the system make a whistling noise? No. You only hear the noise of forced air. Does the unit itself make a rumbling noise? Even light sleepers can say the system doesn’t rumble.
-
Where does the ductwork go? The unit can be tucked into a corner, put in a basement or placed in the attic so it is out of the way. The bulk of the ductwork also stays in the attic.
-
Is there a unit that sits outside? Yes, there is an outside unit connected to an inside unit by refrigerant lines.
-
Do you have to tear up the house to put one in? 97% of installations and repaired will be done in one day. There are very little carpenter modifications required.
-
How long does the installation take? 97% of installations take one day.
-
Are there color options other than white? Yes, there are hardwood options and plastic pieces can be painted to match any surface.
-
How is the temperature controlled? A traditional thermostat.
-
Now that I have ductwork can I add a humidifier? You can, but it can be problematic and we don’t recommend it.
-
What do homeowners have to do to prepare for installation? The only thing you need to do is empty out your closets and clear a tiny bit of room in the attic.
-
Can you zone a Unico system? Typically, with high velocity systems you cannot zone the ductwork separately so the whole system will be controlled by one thermostat.
