Levittown Homeowners Say Hello to Home Comfort With Ductless Heat Pump Upgrade

PROBLEM: Our homeowner wasn’t satisfied with the quotes he was getting from other companies in the area when it came to adding upgrading his heating and cooling system in his Levittown home.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort was able to install a brand-new system without the use of ductwork. Ductless was the best option for his Levittown home because of its zoning abilities. Three indoor units and an outdoor heat pump were installed and even helped Jason cut back on his oil usage. Our homeowner also took advantage of financing through Synchrony so he could enjoy home comfort right away without major money out of his pocket!

Throwback Thursday: ECI Adds Mitsubishi Electric Ductless to Combat Comfort Issues in One Room

PROBLEM: This Cape Cod-style home built in 1953 had existing ductwork for central air and heat, but certain rooms experienced uneven temperatures resulting in discomfort for our homeowners. Two bedrooms on the second floor already had Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat ductless systems to combat the home's issues, but a third room was experiencing similar issues on the first floor. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a single-zone Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat ductless system in the front first-floor room. This room did not heat up or cool as well as the rest of the house, so the ductless unit provided the perfect solution to create comfort in the home.
