Mobile home furnaces are configured a bit differently from conventional furnaces. This is mainly due to space issues. Mobile homes need to make use of every inch of space when it comes to important utilities. This is why furnaces in mobile homes are typically smaller.

Is Your Furnace Showing Signs of Trouble?
Irregular furnace maintenance can lead to higher rates of malfunctions and breakdowns. Below are common problems we help customers solve.
Faulty thermostat
The thermostat controls your indoor temperature. It’s crucial that the thermostat is working properly. When it malfunctions, or when it’s not properly calibrated, you will need to contact your technician for help adjusting it to the proper setting.
Clogged filter
When air vents are open, the room should quickly fill with heat. If you notice there is very little or no heat coming through the vents, you may have a clogged furnace filter. This is often difficult to notice right away, as filters are out of sight. As dirt and debris build up over time, it blocks the filters and disrupts the normal flow of air.
Broken blower motor
The blower motor can also break down. The problem is often due to a crack or a broken belt.
What Should You Do When Your Furnace is Not Working?
The best way to handle these problems is to have your unit inspected by a licensed heating technician. Anytime Plumbing, Heating & Cooling will send our furnace experts to your home to evaluate the problem.
Planning to Install a New Furnace?
Most mobile homes feature modern furnaces with electrical elements. Other homes have units that are not electrically-powered, but instead circulate air through a heat exchanger and blower system. The air duct system in a mobile home is different from what’s found in a traditional home; with a mobile home, the furnace will be installed over an air supply duct.
What is a roof jack? A roof jack is the venting system in a mobile home. The intake and exhaust are combined into one unit.
Have an older gas furnace? Gas furnaces rely on a pilot light that needs to burn constantly. When the temperature lowers to a certain point, gas is ignited to create the heat. Older gas furnaces are not as energy efficient as newer electric models. If you have a gas furnace and are looking to save on energy and heating costs, contact us for more information. We’ll help you determine if a new furnace unit is right for you.
