Old City Philadelphia is famous for its Row Homes. And, older row homes are equally famous for being uncomfortable in our humid summers because so many row homes don't have a central heating and cooling system, leaving folks to rely on window units to try to stay comfortable in the heat. This row home, built in the 1920's in Old City has a gas-fired water boiler and cast iron radiators for heat, but no central air at all. This means relying on bulky window air conditioners that are a pain to install and take down seasonally, and actually block up your windows for a good part of the year as well! On top of that, window units are not very efficient and expensive to run, and our homeowner was looking for a better solution for his new home.

Hyper Heat is a new home heating system designed by Mitsubishi. It’s the perfect home comfort solution for a range of homes and sizes, and has the advantage of being both a heating and air conditioning system that doesn’t rely on ductwork, making it a perfect option for older and historic homes that have relied on oil or radiator heat in the winter, and perhaps window air conditioners for summer months.

Way back in 2013, ECI Comfort set up two tents at the Levittown Car Show and Family Fun Day as part of our Comfort Challenge. The tent on the left was cooled by a typical window unit air conditioner. Next to it, the tent on the right was cooled by a Mitsubishi ductless wall unit. Guess which one attendees liked most!
If you were to walk by this charming Bristol Borough home, it might not be immediately apparent that inside, a popular salon has been thriving for almost sixty years.
Recently, ECI Comfort installed a Mitsubishi ductless split heating and air conditioning unit in the home. While we were there I got to get to know the home/salon owner, Harry Moyer, and even got a haircut while I was at it.
