Small-Duct High-Velocity HVAC in Pittsburgh.
Whisper-quiet, even comfort, even in homes where ducts don’t fit.
High-velocity systems, like the Unico System we install, heat and cool your home through compact, flexible mini-ducts instead of bulky conventional ductwork. They are the go-to solution for Pittsburgh’s older and historic homes, additions, and finished spaces where traditional ducts simply will not fit, without tearing up your walls or ceilings.
What is a high-velocity system?
Same comfort, a smarter delivery. Small-duct high-velocity systems fit where conventional HVAC can’t.
Compact mini-ducts
Flexible 2-inch supply tubing routes through walls, ceilings, and tight spaces, no bulky soffits or chases.
Draft-free, even temperatures
A gentle aspiration effect blends the air so rooms stay evenly comfortable, with no hot or cold spots.
Whisper-quiet
Insulated tubing and a quiet air handler mean you barely hear it running.
What it means for your home.
- Comfort without a renovation. Mini-ducts fit into existing homes with minimal disruption, no dropped ceilings or torn-up walls.
- Preserves your home’s character. Small, discreet outlets blend into ceilings and floors, ideal for historic and high-design homes.
- Even, quiet comfort. The high-velocity aspiration effect delivers draft-free, consistent temperatures room to room.
- Heating and cooling in one system. High-velocity systems handle both, so you get year-round comfort from a single solution.

Questions, answered.
Is a high-velocity system the same as Unico?
Essentially, yes. Unico is the leading brand of small-duct high-velocity HVAC. “High-velocity” describes the technology, and Unico is the system we install.
Will it be loud or drafty?
No. High-velocity systems are designed to be whisper-quiet, and the aspiration effect actually reduces drafts and evens out temperatures compared to conventional systems.
Can it heat and cool?
Yes. A high-velocity system provides both heating and cooling through the same compact ductwork.
Is my older home a good candidate?
Often, yes. High-velocity is purpose-built for older and historic homes where running conventional ducts is not practical. We will assess your home and let you know.
