Mobile Home Furnace Buying Considerations by Jamie Greene
Choosing the right mobile home furnace, can be a tricky task. Home owners will need to carefully select the right size and type as well as choosing a unit that is designed for mobile homes specifically. One of the most notable differences between mobile home furnaces and normal ones is that in furnaces made for mobile homes, the ducts tend to be a lot smaller. Otherwise the standard components (heat pump/condenser, blower, coils and furnace blower) tend to be similar. Mobile homes differ from larger homes in that the duct work tends to feature tighter angles due to their construction properties, therefore it is important to carefully consider size and shape compatibility.
Essentially a mobile home furnace is rated differently than a furnace built for a normal home and must be ducted, vented and installed differently. The sealed combustion method is the method by which the heating and cooling units are designed to work, whereby the outside air is drawn in without releasing fumes inside the home. When installing a mobile home furnace, the exhaust and intake vents must be sealed up to ensure that air does not escape and that it is distributed to the floor, ceiling and exterior walls.
When it comes to selecting a mobile home furnace, the good news is that nearly all the manufacturers of normal home furnaces also offer options that specifically cater to mobile homes. Companies like Miller and Coleman offer options of various outputs and sizes as does Hamilton and Nordyne. All of these companies offer furnaces that use both electricity and natural gas. A consideration you will have to make, when planning for the installation of your mobile home furnace is what type of fuel it will use. The two most common fuel sources are gas and electricity.
When deciding which type of mobile home furnace to install in your home, the two most popular are electricity and gas, each features its own set of pros and cons. Electricity can be much easier and cheaper to set up than gas in many cases, so you will save money initial, yet over the long run, natural gas being a cheaper energy source, makes your furnace cheaper to run over the long-term. If the mobile home already has a gas input set up, then it is likely to be the best choice, if not then using electricity is most likely to be the smartest way to go.

Baby Einstein – Baby Mozart – Music Festival $15.00 It’s called “the Mozart Effect,” the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory.
