No Heat
Mobile-home furnaces are usually downflow units in a closet. Ignition, limit switches, and blower problems are common causes.

Mobile Home HVACIs Our Specialty.
Heating and cooling in a mobile or manufactured home works differently from a site-built house — different furnaces, different ductwork, and different rules for replacement equipment. It's the work we specialize in. We repair, maintain, and replace mobile-home furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps.

Common Problems
Common mobile home heating and cooling problems.
Many of these come down to the way mobile-home systems and ductwork are built.
Weak Airflow at the Registers
Ducts run under the floor in the belly of the home. A crushed, torn, or disconnected duct can starve rooms of air.
One Side of a Double-Wide Is Cold
The crossover duct that connects the two halves can sag, tear, or come loose.
AC Freezing Up or Cooling Poorly
Mobile homes often return air through the furnace closet door or wall grilles. A blocked or undersized return can freeze the coil.
Cold Floors and High Bills
Leaky belly ducts and a damaged underbelly let heated or cooled air escape under the home.
Old Equipment Due for Replacement
Original equipment in older homes is often near the end of its life — and has to be replaced with equipment suited to a manufactured home.
What to Expect
Mobile homes need mobile-home know-how.
We check the whole system: the furnace or air handler, the outdoor unit, the return-air path, and the ductwork under the home, including the crossover on double-wides. Then we explain what we found and the price before any work begins.
Furnaces in manufactured homes generally have to be approved for manufactured-home use, so a standard house furnace usually isn't the right replacement. We'll make sure replacement equipment fits your home.

If you smell gas, leave first.
Get everyone out of the home right away. Don't flip light switches, use appliances, or light anything. Once you're outside and away from the smell, call 911 and your gas utility. Call us after the utility says it's safe.
How They're Different
What makes mobile home HVAC different.
Downflow furnaces
Most mobile homes use a downflow furnace in a closet, pushing heat down into ducts under the floor.
Under-floor ductwork
The main duct runs through the belly of the home. Damage under the home often shows up as weak airflow inside.
Crossover ducts
Double-wides use a flexible crossover duct to carry air to the second half of the home.
Replacement rules
Replacement furnaces generally must be approved for manufactured homes. We'll make sure your new equipment is a proper fit.
Before You Call
What you can safely check.
- Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat or Cool and the setting is past the room temperature.
- Check the furnace filter and replace it if it's dirty.
- Make sure the furnace closet door and any return-air grilles aren't blocked by furniture or stored items.
- Look for registers that are closed or covered by rugs.
- Don't open the furnace or work on wiring or gas parts yourself.
Cost
What affects the cost.
You'll know the price before any work begins.
The part that failed
An igniter or capacitor is a smaller job than a blower motor or a new furnace.
Ductwork under the home
Duct problems under the home can take more time to reach and fix than equipment repairs.
Replacement equipment
New equipment has to suit a manufactured home. Estimates for new equipment are free.

Do you work on mobile and manufactured homes?
Yes. Mobile-home heating and cooling is our specialty, including furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps.

A common cause is a damaged or disconnected crossover duct under the home. Blocked returns or closed registers can also cause it. We'll check the whole system.

Yes. We work on all makes and brands of heating and cooling equipment, including equipment commonly found in mobile homes.
