Overview

The Unico System is presented as a fit for modular homes because it provides efficient, draft-free cooling and year-round comfort. It is described as having a small-duct design, quiet operation, and superior humidity control.

The system also supports three central heating methods for modular projects.

Heating methods

1. Hot Water Coil

A hot water coil paired with a Unico System air handler provides hydronic, or hydro-air, heat. It combines radiant-style warmth with even distribution through ducted air.

• Heat source options: boiler, outdoor heat pump, or dual-fuel system.
• Good for modular designs that already use radiant floors or wall panels.
• Provides quick, responsive heating.

2. Heat Pump Coil

A heat pump coil attached to a Unico System air handler supports all-electric heating. The article says it is compatible with heat pump technology and can deliver performance in colder climates.

• System types: air-source or geothermal.
• Benefits for homeowners: lower energy use and a reduced carbon footprint.
• Possible incentives: rebates and tax incentives under programs like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.

3. Electric Furnace

An electric furnace can be paired with The Unico System for modular homes in milder climates. It is described as simple, cost-effective, and space-saving.

• Can serve as a primary heat source in warmer regions.
• Can also work as backup or supplemental heat.
• Low maintenance requirements.

Benefits for modular homes

• Quiet, even heating.
• Flexible installation options.
• Energy-efficient operation.
• Minimal impact on space or aesthetics.
• Easy integration for manufacturers.
