With Unico’s miniduct system, Anderson can retrofit old houses with contemporary heating and cooling systems without destroying their original craftsmanship. “The aesthetics of the interior are not compromised for modern comfort, so the owner can have it both ways,” she enthuses. The St. Louis company’s high-velocity system accommodates all types of spaces with little to no remodeling required: modular air handlers can be installed in ceilings and crawl spaces, and flexible sound-attenuated ducts can be routed through existing cavities.
