What are Mobile Home Packaged Units?

A Mobile Home Packaged Unit is an all-in-one heating and cooling system where all the components—the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and air handler—are housed in a single cabinet. These units are specifically designed for installation on the ground beside the manufactured home or on the rooftop.

Their primary features include:

  • Compact Footprint: Engineered to fit smaller spaces and align with the pre-cut utility openings and ductwork found in mobile homes.
  • Horizontal Ducting: Many are configured for horizontal flow, which is standard for connecting to the under-floor or rooftop duct systems common in manufactured housing.
  • Specific Compatibility: These units are often required by local codes and housing standards, ensuring proper safety and integration with the home’s existing setup.

Sizing, Installation & Compatibility (Pro Insight)

Sizing and selecting a replacement packaged unit for a mobile home requires precision beyond a standard home installation.

  • The Mobile Home Difference: Manufactured homes typically have different insulation, sealing, and construction materials than site-built homes. This means standard BTU calculations may not apply, and using a unit specifically designed for mobile homes is crucial for efficiency and longevity.
  • Upflow vs. Downflow: Most mobile home HVAC systems use a Downflow configuration, where air enters the top of the unit and is pushed down into the floor ducts. You must confirm whether your existing home setup requires a Downflow or Upflow model.
  • Fuel Source: Packaged units come in configurations that can provide heat via:
  • Electric Heat Strips: Common in milder climates or when gas isn't available.
  • Gas Furnace: For highly efficient heating in colder regions.
  • Heat Pump: Offers both efficient heating and cooling from a single unit.

FAQs/Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a standard residential packaged unit on my mobile home?

A:No, this is highly discouraged. Standard residential units are not designed for the specific return and supply duct configurations (often a single opening) and the unique airflow requirements of manufactured homes. Always use an AHRI-certified Mobile Home Packaged Unit.

Q: What is the average lifespan of a Mobile Home Packaged Unit?

A: With proper maintenance, a quality packaged unit should last 12 to 15 years. Since these units are exposed to the elements, regular cleaning and ensuring the base pad is stable and level are critical to achieving the maximum lifespan.

Q: How do I determine if I need a Downflow or Upflow unit?

A: This refers to the direction the air flows out of the unit. Downflow units are the most common for mobile homes where the ductwork is under the home's floor. Upflow units typically feed ductwork mounted in the ceiling or attic. Always inspect your existing unit's installation to confirm the required airflow direction.

Q: Do these units come with air filters?

A:Yes. Packaged units have dedicated filter racks. However, due to the single-unit design, maintaining a clean, correct-sized filter is paramount for protecting the compressor and maximizing both heating and cooling efficiency.
