Case Studies

PROBLEM: Our homeowners had a twenty-five year old boiler with a bad gas valve. Replacement of the unit was expensive and they decided it'd be wiser to invest in a new boiler as a long-term investment in their comfort and safety.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a newer version of their Burnham boiler, a series-3 Model #306 gas boiler with electronic ignition. This new boiler is more efficient than the old version and will save on fuel by not running a pilot light constantly. The new control packages can save between 15 and 20 percent in fuel costs.

PROBLEM: Our customer had an old boiler that was leaking and needed replacement.  The Weil-McLain cast iron, three-section boiler with a tankless coil had developed a leak, and they called ECI, who also provides their home oil service, to recommend a replacement boiler that would be cost-effective and could be put in as soon as possible.

SOLUTION: ECI recommended a Burnham cast iron boiler with a domestic tankless coil, based on its economical price point and the availability of installation  immediately.

PROBLEM: Our customer had an old boiler that needed replacing and they were always running out of hot water, making doing the wash and taking a shower at the same time a real difficulty!

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a new Energy Kinetics System 2000 boiler that also acts as a tankless hot water system, delivering not only great heating throughout the home but virtually unlimited hot water at the same time!

PROBLEM: Our customer had an eight year oil boiler, and another company was recommending replacement. The homeowner called ECI for a second opinion to make sure they wouldn't be unnecessarily spending extra money. 

SOLUTION: ECI contacted the company and we were able to replace the boiler under rebate warranty, as well as obtain an $850 rebate for the homeowner. We were able to do a complete replacement of the unit with a newer version rapidly and cost-effectively, saving them significant costs over recommendations from other companies.

PROBLEM: These homeowners were having problems with their heating system. Upon inspection, we found that the old Lennox Gas Furnace had a cracked heat exchanger.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort replaced the old system with a new 80% efficiency Carrier Gas furnace and added a new gas water heater.

PROBLEM: Our homeowners had a leaking boiler, and they also were always running out of hot water. With three girls and one more on the way, they knew having enough hot water was a problem that was only going to get worse over time!

SOLUTION: We replaced the old boiler with a Biasi B4-10 cast iron high-efficiency oil boiler with a 40 gallon Heat Flow Indirect water tank. This means not only with their heating problems be solved, but they will have unlimited hot water, something that will make them happy for years to come!

PROBLEM: These homeowners were looking for a better solution for their home than lugging window air conditioners up to the third floor of their University City home. They wanted a whole-home solution that would keep them cool and run more efficiently than window units.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico high velocity system that will provide the homeowners with quiet air conditioning (and heating) comfort throughout their home, and will even be able to remove 30 percent more humidity out of the air -- a blessing to anyone living through Philadelphia summers!

Problem: Feasterville Fitness Center's pool had developed a leak in the coil as well as corrosion leading to its eventual breakdown. 

Solution: ECI Comfort replaced the broken down pool heater with a new and efficient pool heater, a ThermoDynamics OTF-1600, which should keep the pool warm and inviting for years to come.
