Throwback Thursday: Abington Colonial Needs a New Boiler
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.

Throwback Thursday: Cooling An Old City, Philadelphia Row Home With Ductless Air Conditioning
Problem: 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.
Solution: ECI installed Mitsubishi ducted and ductless mini-split systems. These system doesn't need ductwork to add both air conditioning and heat, so it's a perfect way to solve heating and cooling problems in older homes that lack the extra space for ductwork.
