Dear Comfort Connoisseur: I’ve been the plumbing, heating and HVAC host of TV’s This Old House since its beginning in 1978. In the time I’ve seen literally thousands of products that wanted to get on the show – some better than others. The Unico System is one that really caught my eye. When I first asked traditional HVAC contractors about it, they would say that it couldn’t work; that it had to be noisy. Yet on every job I went to, the systems were whisper quiet and the homeowners were thrilled. It piqued my interest. I installed the Unico System in my own 1865 home nine years ago with great results and convinced my colleagues on the show, Norm and Steve, to do the same. They love it. You will, too. The Unico System has been “delivering the goods” as a cooling system since 1984. It has often been thought of as a retrofit cooling system for homes or businesses with radiators or baseboard heat. What has also been discovered in past years is just how awesome a heating system it is. The same comfort that’s delivered in the cooling mode is available in the heating mode, as well. The Unico System is the mini-duct central heating system that utilizes flexible supply ducts that weave through existing cavities in your floor, ceilings and walls, eliminating the need for invasive and expensive demolition and remodeling and preserving the aesthetics of any structure, whether new or old. Unico System can be used as both the sole heating source for a home or building or as supplement to other radiant systems. Unico System provides luxurious, “true” heat that is draft free and very ever -- -- in fact, you can count on less than a 2 。Temperature difference from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. If you want the very best in indoor climate comfort, but don’t want to see or hear an ugly, noisy heating system, give the Unico System a try. It’s the mini-duct system that provides maximum comfort. Because better comfort is worth it. Richard Trethewey
