Case Studies

PROBLEM: Our Bensalem, PA homeowners, Eileen and Tom, have spent far too long living without central air conditioning. In their beautiful home, an oil boiler with baseboard radiators keeps them warm in the colder climate, but window AC units have become rattling nightmares. Time for a comfort change!

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a three-zone system, with two SEZ horizontal ducted units, paired with a high-wall mounted ductless unit. This combination provides air conditioning to the second and first floor, as well as a supplemental heat source to keep down energy costs in the colder months! 

PROBLEM:  Our homeowner was tired of continuously installing window units every year to beat the summer heat, only to be let down with inefficiency and noisy "window-rattling". His older rowhome also featured a 50+ year old boiler at the end of its life. The homeowner wanted an efficient system that wouldn't compromise space in his home, while providing both cooling and heating. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a multi-zone Mitsubishi Ductless Hyper-Heat system.  The system doesn't require ductwork and provides both air conditioning and heat. It is a great way to solve heating and cooling problems in older homes, while maintaining the limited space available. For South Philly rowhomes, ductless AC is the perfect match. This install also featured for the first time, Mitsubishi's brand new FS Model indoor unit!

PROBLEM: Lauren Mitchell's older home had no air conditioning, and she was using window AC units to try to keep cool. But with a heat wave hitting the area, she wanted to install a system that provide her with more home comfort.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico High Velocity air conditioning system to keep her entire home cooled efficiently.

PROBLEM: Owners of a Doylestown, Pa. cabin were paying too much for electric radiant heat and were using window units for AC every summer.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a zoned Mitsubishi Ductless Split Heat Pump Inverter system.

PROBLEM: Classical guitarist, Allen Krantz, and his wife, Susan, needed a way to cool their fully original, historic Mt. Airy home without any obtrusive installation that would mess with the aesthetic.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico High-Velocity AC System to efficiently cool their home while still maintaining the original construction and look of the house.

PROBLEM: A historic trinity home near the Italian Market was always too warm in the summer with no ductwork for central air. 

SOLUTION: ECI Installed a Mitsubishi ductless mini-split system with three indoor air handlers. We mounted the outdoor heat pump along the second floor to preserve artwork near the sidewalk.

PROBLEM Our homeowner, a frontline worker during the COVID-19 pandemic, wanted an indoor air quality system to protect his family.

SOLUTION: ECI installed an Air Scrubber by Aerus, which destroys microorganisms in the air and on surfaces throughout the home.

PROBLEM: These homeowners struggled with bad allergies and asthma due to dry and dusty air from their forced hot air furnace. This lead them to installing an expensive boiler and radiant floor system to avoid using the furnace, which then stopped working. 

PROBLEM: The Knipes were looking to get rid of the window AC units in their Fairmount rowhome, but did not want to retrofit the home with bulky ductwork.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Split downstairs, and a Mitsubishi Ducted unit upstairs to keep the whole house evenly cooled.
