Background
Unico was specifically chosen by the client to provide a heating only solution for all rooms on the upper floor which would not compromise the architectural integrity of this historic building.
Due to the age and construction of the property, the installation of a conventional heating system was not possible and the owners wanted to maximise the limited wall space available for furniture.
After researching “Warm Air” systems, they found the Unico System to provide a design and solution for heating the Upper Floor of the property.
Solution
A 14kW Unico System is installed throughout the loft area to provide heating to three bedrooms including the Master Suite, Hallway gallery and a small annex with an additional bedroom and Kitchenette. The flexible supply ducts connected to discreet, ceiling mounted outlets provide the perfect comfortable environment to the entire Upper Floor.
The Unico System is connected to a Panasonic Air to Water Heat Pump which provides energy efficient heating whilst at the same time allowing the owners to benefit from the Renewable Heat Incentive payment scheme.
The system provides individual temperature control to five separate zones with variable speed operation.
The Unico System EC fan motor along with the heat pump provides extremely low running costs in this off-grid location.
