Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile Home HVAC Questions Answered

Mobile homes have unique requirements including HUD-approved equipment, specific venting configurations, weight limitations, and flexible ductwork systems. Space constraints require compact units. Electrical systems may have limited capacity. Movement and settling affect connections. Our 38 years of combined experience includes extensive mobile home expertise ensuring proper solutions for these challenges.

No, mobile homes require HUD-approved equipment designed for manufactured housing. Standard residential units may not fit, could exceed weight limits, won't meet venting requirements, and may void warranties or violate codes. We install only appropriate equipment ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance while maximizing your comfort and investment protection.

Mobile homes often have higher energy costs due to less insulation, air leaks around windows/doors, ductwork problems in belly boards, undersized or inefficient equipment, and poor weatherization. We provide comprehensive efficiency evaluations identifying specific issues and recommending cost-effective improvements typically reducing bills 20-40% while improving comfort.

Yes! Heat pumps, especially package units, work excellently in mobile homes. They provide efficient heating and cooling from one system, reduce operating costs significantly, eliminate combustion safety concerns, and require less maintenance. Modern heat pumps handle Lancaster's climate well, offering year-round comfort with lower bills than traditional systems.

Installation typically takes 4-8 hours for straightforward replacements. This includes removing old equipment, installing new systems, making connections, testing operation, and cleanup. Complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or gas line work may require 1-2 days. We provide accurate time estimates and work efficiently while maintaining quality.

Often yes, accessing the belly board area is necessary for ductwork connections, crossover duct installation, or repairs. We take precautions protecting the underbelly, use proper safety equipment, minimize disturbance, and seal any openings. Our technicians are experienced working in these confined spaces safely and efficiently.

Proper sizing requires professional calculation considering home size, insulation levels, window efficiency, climate factors, and occupancy. Mobile homes often need different sizing than comparable stick-built homes due to construction differences. Oversizing wastes money and causes comfort problems. We perform accurate load calculations ensuring perfect sizing.

Absolutely! Mini-splits offer excellent solutions for mobile homes providing zone control, high efficiency, quiet operation, no ductwork needs, easy installation, and year-round comfort. They're perfect for additions, problem rooms, or whole-home solutions. The minimal penetrations required make them ideal for manufactured housing applications.

Common issues include limit switch trips from restricted airflow, ignition failures from moisture, cracked heat exchangers in older units, blower motor problems, thermostat malfunctions, venting blockages, and control board failures. Regular maintenance prevents most problems. We diagnose issues quickly, minimizing downtime and repair costs.
