Preserve Your Home’s Charm. Upgrade Your Comfort.

Older and historic homes offer character and craftsmanship that newer builds just can’t replicate. But when it comes to heating and cooling, these homes present unique challenges — especially when there’s no existing ductwork. That’s where ductless systems from ECI Comfort come in.

How_it_Works

No Ductwork? No Problem.

Homes built before the 1960s often lack ductwork altogether. Retrofitting traditional HVAC systems means tearing into walls, lowering ceilings, or compromising precious space.

Ductless mini-split systems use a compact indoor air handler and a small outdoor unit, connected by a discreet refrigerant line — no invasive renovation required.

Protect Your Home’s Historic Integrity

From original plaster walls to detailed woodwork and moldings, older homes are filled with elements worth preserving.
Ductless HVAC modernizes your comfort without disturbing the architectural beauty of your home.

Recognized by the National Park Service (NPS) and the Secretary of the Interior Standards as a preservation-friendly HVAC option.
