PROBLEM: An pre-war rowhome in the Old City section of Philadelphia didn’t have room for a conventional central air conditioner, and window units were too loud, bulky, and expensive to run.
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed two ducted mini-splits to cool the house. These use less energy and are quieter than central air or window units. Plus, they take up less room than traditional ductwork systems.
PROBLEM: Our homeowners bought a 14-room, Civil War-era rowhome in Philadelphia in the seventies. They didn’t want to disturb the home’s architecture by adding ductwork for central air. For decades they used noisy, inefficient window units to cool the home.
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico High Velocity air conditioning system. It silently circulates cool air throughout the house without disturbing the look and feel of the home.
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: The 20-year-old air conditioner in a Queen Village rowhome needed replacement. Our homeowners wanted to upgrade their high velocity system.
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Unico high velocity air conditioning system. This required careful work, including coordination with the electric company, to get the new unit onto a second-story platform.
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: 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.
PROBLEM: These homeowners did not want to go through another summer using window and wall AC units. But they also did not want to disrupt the elegance of their beautiful 1915 Trinity home with mini-splits. Moreover, they did not want to give up precious space to install ductwork.
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a high velocity system for cooling the entire home, and a heat pump to provide warmth during the milder seasons. Brad and Jared were able to get comfortable cooling and heating without paying astronomical bills or altering the home's aesthetic.
PROBLEM: This homeowner was tired of the summer heat taking over her home, but it was too much of a pain to continuously install window AC units every year. Not only was the installation process burdensome, but the inefficiency and "window-rattling" were becoming too much of a nuisance. Time for an upgrade!
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Split system. This system doesn't require ductwork to add both air conditioning and supplemental heat, so it's a great way to solve heating and cooling problems in older homes that lack the extra space for ductwork. For South Philly rowhomes, ductless AC is the perfect match.
PROBLEM: This 1920's home had electric radiators for heat but no central air. This meant our homeowners had been relying on bulky window air conditioners that are a pain to install and take down.
SOLUTION: ECI Comfort installed a Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Split system. This system doesn't need ductwork to add both air conditioning and supplemental heat, so it's a perfect way to solve heating and cooling problems in older homes that lack the extra space for ductwork.
