Case Studies

PROBLEM: Our homeowners were looking to remove their oil boiler and steam system that was skyrocketing their energy bills and upgrade to a new HVAC system that will keep their bills low and their comfort high. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort upgraded these homeowners to a Trane XV20i Variable Speed Heat Pump system to replace the oil heater and steam radiators. This will help them go green with electric and move away from oil heat.

PROBLEM: A few years ago, our homeowners were experiencing uncomfortable summers in their Old City rowhome built in the 1920s. Using heavy and noisy air conditioning units, they never truly felt complete comfort during the summer months, and feared they were out of options due to the structure of their rowhome. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a mini-split system with zoning control so our homeowners could have desired temperatures throughout their home all year round. This option eliminates the need for additional ductwork that can minimize necessary space in their rowhome. 

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. Other companies suggested ductwork, which he was not interested in adding to his home. He reached out to ECI for one last quote after a trustworthy friend referred us to him.

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!

PROBLEM:  Our homeowners were ready to upgrade their Levittown heating and cooling system after too many uncomfortable summers in a house that was never cool enough.  They were tired of using window AC units and knew it was time to make the switch. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort upgraded their home with a Mitsubishi Electric Heating and Air Conditioning system using a combination of ductless and ducted units. The new heat pump system will replace their window AC units, but also enhance their heating system. 

PROBLEM: After a mandate was passed to stop the production of R-22, Family Service in Langhorne was ready to upgrade their Trane units. Although they served them well for 20 years, repairs were becoming more difficult and expensive. 

SOLUTION: ECI replaced four of their rooftop units with packaged air conditioning and heat Trane units again, but this time using a newer, more efficient model.

PROBLEM: The air conditioning units outside Fairmount Rowing Association along Boathouse Row, Philadelphia were damaged during Hurricane Ida's massive flooding. As a result, the boathouse was left with no AC and therefore needed a new solution for their cooling needs.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort replaced the five indoor ductless air handlers with brand new Mitsubishi ductless models. The five new outdoor units were relocated to the opposite side of the building where flooding is less likely. They were also mounted high on the wall instead of the ground so that they will not be reached in the event of another flood.

PROBLEM:  New homeowners, Ted and Carrie, reached out to ECI during their settlement process on an old Philadelphia rowhome. The rowhome was equipped with cast-iron radiators for heat and window units for AC. Ted and Carrie were looking for a more permanent solution for their new home. Concerned about space and noise, they reached out to ECI about ductless mini-splits.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a four-zone Mitsubishi Ductless system.  This multi-zone system was installed across three stories and provides both heating and cooling. This provided a permanent solution for their forever home and eliminated the need for those noisy window units. Since these Mitsubishi mini-splits require no ductwork, our homeowners can save on valuable space and get the most out of their new home. They also feature whisper-quiet technology.

PROBLEM:  Our homeowner, David, has a charming stone home built in the early 1700s. The home was built in three phases and was equipped with cast iron radiators for heat with no cooling system. David needed options that would efficiently heat and cool his home without disturbing the clean aesthetic of the property.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a four-zone Mitsubishi Ductless system.  This four-zone system provides heating and cooling to the main spaces of the home without disrupting the homes functionality. With the home being constructed in different stages, finding spaces for the splits and the heat pump proved to be tricky. But with help from our lead installer, Matt, and coordination with the homeowner, our team found the perfect options and placements. For older homes with limited space, ductless AC is the perfect match.

PROBLEM: Homeowners were looking to add air conditioning to their stone farmhouse that was built in the 1700s, but were concerned about altering its appearance and nostalgia. 

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico High Velocity air conditioning system without altering the looks of the home. 

Problem: Small office had no air conditioning to stay comfortable.
