Cooling for manufactured homes always presented some challenges, especially given the size requirements of the space. When an AC unit for a manufactured home is installed, it must be inspected by the county, just as with any other aspect of your home. If the inspector comes to the conclusion that the installed unit is not safe, then they will either issue a citation or give you a specified amount of time to correct the problem. This, however, is not the only problem that you could potentially run into if you are attempting to install central air units for a manufactured home. What many people forget, is that manufactured homes are far different from their full-sized counterparts. While typical homes often have ductwork added after the fact, manufactured homes are normally built in factories and the ductwork is installed as it rolls off the assembly line. The entire assembly of the manufactured home is very compact, and as a result, it can be very difficult to make changes, and you certainly cannot expect to redo the entire system without a significant amount of work. As a result, only specific types of air conditioners and heaters will work in a mobile home, and the importance of getting the right one from a highly professional company cannot be overstated. It all starts directly under the house with that ductwork.
The ductwork that resides beneath your home is what will determine the efficiency of the air conditioning unit and if it is too large, the air conditioner will need to work far harder to get the job done. This will put more wear and tear than necessary on the system, and it will also drive your energy bill up considerably, especially during the hottest days of summer. Bottom line: it’s not a route you want to take. Click here to learn more.Â
The threat of overcooling in air conditioning is a pretty serious one, and it can be described as a very costly mistake. Central air units for manufactured homes come with different specifications, and when you are interested in installing one, be it in your home or a client’s, there are specific state guidelines that need to be followed. There are documents and charts that list the state, and then displays the correct specifications for the given area and region. This will help to keep the customer from purchasing equipment that is more powerful than their home requires, and it has many consequences. The most common consequence is an overpayment by the consumer which is why mobile homes need to be carefully assessed before an air conditioning device can be installed.
Customers make several mistakes when they choose the wrong air conditioning unit for the job, and ultimately, it results in a unit cycling on and off frequently. We should also mention that oversized equipment can easily lead to moisture issues within the home, potentially causing mold problems. Ultimately, it is up to the installer to get it right, whether they are the customer or the installation company.
The units that we offer right here in our store will be able to pass state inspection so long as they adhere to the requirements of your region and most importantly, they will keep your home cooled for many years to come.Â
