Case Studies

PROBLEM: Bob was exhausted from the never-ending task of refilling his boiler with gallons of water, only to find water leaks in his basement every time he came home. His outdated boiler setup had become a major hassle and he knew it was time for a change.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort came to the rescue by installing an Energy Kinetics Accel CS boiler, known for its exceptional efficiency in producing heat and hot water. But that's not all - we took it a step further by swapping out Bob's old cast iron radiators with sleek and modern wall panel Runtal radiators, ensuring that every corner of his home receives the warmth it deserves. 

PROBLEM: A property manager in Glenside, Pa., was in the process of rehabilitating an older home. One of his primary goals was to add air conditioning, but the absence of ductwork presented a significant challenge. Installing traditional ductwork would have been costly and would have compromised the aesthetics of the home.

PROBLEM: Our customer struggled with a noisy and inconsistent Unico High-Velocity system for years, making her home in Merion Station uncomfortable despite multiple attempts by different contractors to fix it.

SOLUTION: Upon a recommendation, Lan called ECI. We identified and corrected an installation error, transforming her system into a quiet and efficient source of comfort.

PROBLEM: Our homeowner in Rydal was interested in an energy-efficient alternative to his air conditioner and gas heater.

SOLUTION: ECI replaced his air conditioner and gas heater with two Geothermal Heat Pumps and a hot water generator. This new setup will provide unmatched energy efficiency, quiet operation, and whole-home comfort. Not to mention, our customer is receiving a tax credit worth 30% of his installation cost!

PROBLEM: Our long-time customer was ready to replace his high-velocity air conditioning system that we installed 20 years ago. The AC still worked, but it did not provide the efficiency, zoning, and quiet comfort that he was looking for.

SOLUTION: ECI installed a zoned high-velocity system with an inverter Bosch heat pump. The new system will provide both heating and cooling to three different zones throughout the home, ensuring even temperature control and energy savings. The quieter heat pump will not only enhance comfort but also contribute to significant oil savings for our customer.

PROBLEM: These homeowners had a Unico High Velocity system to heat and cool their home, but the evaporator coil had developed a leak causing the system to break down. It was old and out of warranty, so they needed to decide whether it was time to replace the system or undergo a costly repair.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort added a new Unico high-velocity air handler with Unico's 15-year warranty, giving the owner's peace of mind and reliability for years to come. 

PROBLEM: Upon moving into their new office in one of Yardley's historic buildings, Milestone Behavioral Health encountered problems with their air conditioning system. The existing high-velocity system was installed improperly, with several shortcuts leading to uneven airflow and overall discomfort.

SOLUTION: ECI Comfort expertly installed two high-velocity systems. This involved upgrading the trunk from seven inches to nine inches, adding 10 outlets, and adding insulation. As a result, the system now operates quietly, provides even cooling, and significantly improves dehumidification throughout the entire building.

PROBLEM: Our customer's Dutch Colonial-style home lacked air conditioning, but the structure made it difficult to find a whole-home cooling option.

SOLUTION: ECI installed a small-duct, high-velocity heating and air conditioning system to provide efficient cooling without major renovations. We also added a smart thermostat system for greater comfort control, as well as an air purifier to increase indoor air quality.

PROBLEM: Our homeowner was looking for a high-quality cooling solution that would not compromise the integrity of his stone home. He was also interested in an efficient heating option to replace his outdated boiler.

SOLUTION: ECI installed a Unico High-Velocity system and a Buderus boiler radiant floor heating system. Throughout the years, we also added a second high-velocity system, an upgraded boiler, and a new water heater.

PROBLEM: Our customer in Holland, Pa. was experiencing issues with her air conditioner which ended up needing repairs. However, both her air conditioner and oil heater were getting older, which posed the question of repair versus replacement.
