Stone Homes in Abington look a lot like the Abington Arts Center, pictured above

Abington is full of stone colonial style homes. These older homes tend to rely on steam or hot water heat, requiring a boiler and radiators to distribute heat throughout the home. Our homeowners in Abington had a 25 year old Burham gas fired boiler with a standing pilot that had developed a bad gas valve. In order to replace the valve, it was going to cost $1,000, so the family needed to decide whether it was worth fixing the older boiler, or whether it was time to replace it with a more modern, and more efficient unit.

The homeowners had previous experience with us at ECI Comfort, having called us to install ductless air conditioning in their home. Based on their prior experience, they knew they could trust ECI and our technicians to do a great job and ensure the family with warmth and comfort throughout their home for years to come.

This ranch home needed to replace a leaking boiler.

Like many older homes in our area, this Bensalem ranch-style home used a boiler and radiator heat to keep their home warm in winter. Their old, Weil-Mclain cast iron boiler with tankless coils started leaking, and it was clear that it was time for a replacement. Having your boiler develop a leak just as it starts to get colder out is every homeowner's nightmare, and trying to do so on a budget is equally challenging!    

Our homeowner had gotten to know ECI because we provided their home heating oil service, so they knew they could trust us to give them good advice on replacing their boiler with an affordable solution and get the job done as soon as possible, to ensure the family would be warm all winter!
