How Unico Simplifies HVAC in Modular Builds

In modular construction, speed, precision, and efficiency are critical. Every phase of the

build—from factory assembly to on-site completion—needs to work in perfect sync to

stay on schedule and within budget. But HVAC installation often complicates that

balance. Deciding what should be handled in the factory versus what must wait for the

field can quickly become a logistical challenge.

Traditional HVAC systems aren't designed for modular workflows. Their large ductwork,

rigid components, and complex installations often demand extensive on-site labor and

adjustments, slowing down the final phase of the build. Modular builders need HVAC

systems that install easily in controlled environments and connect quickly once the

home reaches its final location.

Unico System Inside Modular Home

That’s where The Unico System stands out. With its compact, small-duct, high-velocity

design, The Unico System gives builders the flexibility to pre-install most of the HVAC

system in the factory—routing flexible 2-inch supply tubing and positioning compact air

handlers within the walls, ceilings, or floors of the module. Once delivered and set on-

site, the remaining connections are minimal and straightforward, significantly reducing

field labor and installation time.

But we don’t just provide the system—we support your team every step of the way.

When a factory installs The Unico System for the first time, a Unico representative will

be on-site to guide the process and answer any questions in real time. We also offer

comprehensive training for your HVAC installers, led by our National Training Manager,

who provides hands-on instruction tailored to the modular build environment. Whether

your team needs virtual, in-person, or on-site training, we’ll make sure they’re confident

and capable with The Unico System from day one.

And after the first install? We’re still with you. Our customer service team is always

available to answer questions, troubleshoot, and help ensure that every installation

meets your standards and keeps your projects on track.

This approach eliminates guesswork, avoids delays, and empowers your production

teams to install a high-performance HVAC system that enhances your build—not slows

it down. The Unico System adapts to your factory process, supports a clean finalization

in the field, and ensures consistency across every unit.
