Hi,
I am considering adding a high velocity system to my bungalow as i slowly bring it back to its full past glory.
Yesterday (at seperate times) I had sales reps from both Space Pak and Unico in my house. While they are still working on their bids, I got the feeling that both would be about the same amount.
However, I could not, for the life of me, get a feeling about which of the two systems was either superior or more desirable. Neither rep could mention a specific advantage that one system had over the other.
Do any of you have any suggestions? Has anyone found one system to be preferable (to the other). Any help would be really appreciated.
Doug

I've looked into all 3 major hi-v systems and rate them as follows:
Energy Savings Products(Hi-V Softaire)
Unico
Spacepac
I installed ESP's system in my own house and shortly will install it in another.
Check ESP before going w/ others : 403-453-2093 reaches HQ in Canada and they can put you in touch w/ area rep and dealer / installers.
If you can't get anywhere w/ ESP then I'd recommend to go w/ Unico as a second choice.
*I have installed both SpacePak and Hi-V(ESP). All have worked satisfactorily but I really like the Hi-V with their TX(hydronic add-on coil. The other thing that I see as an advantage is being able to use spiral metal duct for the main trunk. I just wonder how long it would take for the fiberglass lined duct to deteriorate and start spewing fiberglass particles. I also like the fact that you can pop the end cap off of the main trunk and run a duct cleaning machine if it were ever necessary. I will say however, the spiral duct and having to insulate it takes longer to install than SpacePak's preinsulated, cookie cutter process.Regardless of which system you go with, follow the design and installation procedures to the letter. Especially when it comes to the sound attenuators.Jeff
