When it comes to heating and cooling, prefabricated or mobile homes are not much different from site-built homes. However, there are some special considerations that need to be taken into account when installing an HVAC system in a mobile home. To begin with, it is important to note that most mobile homes have air conditioning units located outside due to space limitations. Therefore, it is essential to keep the external parts of the unit well-maintained.
This includes regularly weeding the surrounding area, especially if the unit is in a garden-like space, and cleaning the outside with water using a hose to prevent dirt from accumulating. In addition, all ducts and respiratory tracts must be secured with mesh to prevent rodents and bugs from entering. The quality of a flexible duct for mobile homes is largely determined by the efficiency and durability of its insulation. If the insulation is damaged, it can reduce the efficiency of the mobile home's heating and cooling system and facilitate the accumulation of dirt and dust in ducts, or even the establishment of animals or reptiles. For those looking to install an HVAC system in a mobile home, it is important to take into account these special considerations.
Regular maintenance of the external parts of the unit is essential for optimal performance. Additionally, all ducts and respiratory tracts must be secured with mesh to prevent pests from entering. Finally, it is important to ensure that the insulation of flexible ducts is in good condition in order to maximize efficiency.
