Package units
Many manufactured homes use a single outdoor "package" unit that holds both the heating and the cooling in one cabinet. If that's how your home is set up, we replace it with the right rated equipment.
Mobile & manufactured homes
Mobile home AC replacement, sized and installed to code.
Putting a new heating and cooling system in a manufactured home isn't the same job as a regular house — the equipment has to be a type that's actually approved for mobile homes. We install the right units, sized to your home, and hand you the measurements that prove it was done right.
Why it's a different job
A mobile home is built to its own rulebook.
Manufactured and mobile homes are built to a nationwide federal code — often called the HUD code — that's separate from the building code used for regular houses. That difference carries all the way through to the heating and cooling equipment.
The part that matters for you: the furnace and air conditioner in a mobile home have to be models specifically approved and labeled for manufactured housing. A standard unit built for a regular house isn't allowed in a mobile home — and isn't safe there. When we quote a replacement, we only install equipment that's rated for your home.
- Downflow furnace. A mobile home furnace pushes warm air down into ducts under the floor. A regular-house furnace blows air up or to the side — the two aren't interchangeable.
- Sealed combustion. The furnace pulls the air it burns from outside the home instead of from the room, which lowers the risk of fumes like carbon monoxide collecting inside.
- Front return grille. Air returns to the unit through a vented grille on its front, so a mobile home doesn't use the separate return ducts a house needs.
- Tighter ductwork. The ducts under a manufactured home are smaller and more restrictive, so the equipment has to be built to push against that resistance.
- Compact closet. The unit lives in a small utility closet with strict space and clearance rules around it.
Before you sign a quote
Was a regular furnace put in your mobile home?
One thing worth checking for: occasionally a manufactured home turns up with a standard, house-grade furnace or air handler that a previous owner, a handyman, or an unlicensed installer dropped in — because it was cheaper, or because it was already on the truck. It's not the norm, but it happens. When it does, that equipment might run, yet it was never approved for the home, and it can bring airflow, comfort, and safety problems that show up later. It's a quick thing to rule out.
If you've just been handed a quote to replace your system — or you're simply not sure what's sitting in that closet — this is exactly what our free second opinion is for. We measure the system first, before we look at anyone else's quote, then walk you through what we found in plain language. You keep the written report no matter who ends up doing the work.
Our process
How a replacement actually goes.
Step 01
We measure your home first
We look at the size and layout of your home, not just the label on the old unit — so the new system is matched to what your home actually needs.
Step 02
We size the equipment to fit
Bigger isn't better. A unit that's too large short-cycles and leaves you clammy; too small and it never keeps up. We size it to your home.
Step 03
We install code-approved equipment
Everything we put in is a model rated and labeled for manufactured housing, installed to the clearances your home requires.
Step 04
We commission it and show you
The same crew that installs your system commissions it — we don't sub that out. We measure how it's performing and set it right, not just switch it on.
Proof it was done right
Every install is commissioned — with a report you keep.
Commissioning is the difference between an installed system and a system that's actually dialed in. Whoever installs your system commissions it — it's never subbed out to someone else. That work produces a commissioning report: a plain-language system health score, photos of the equipment and the readings behind it, and findings written so you can understand them — not HVAC shorthand.
Before the crew leaves, we walk you through the whole report on a tablet, on-site, so you can ask questions face to face. Then it's emailed to you as a PDF to keep.
On top of that, your new system can earn an independent ANSI/ACCA Standard 5 certificate — third-party proof it was installed to the standard the industry sets, issued by an outside party rather than by us. It's yours to keep, and it's the kind of documentation that supports warranty and rebate programs.
Your options
Single-wide, double-wide, however yours is built.
Mobile homes are set up a few different ways. We match the replacement to how yours is built, and tell you honestly which route makes sense.
Split systems
Some homes run a furnace or air handler inside with a separate unit outside. We match both halves so they're the right size for each other and work together the way they should.
Equipment listed for your home
Whichever setup yours uses, we install only equipment labeled and approved for manufactured housing, sized to your home — then commission it and hand you the documented report.

Common questions
Mobile home replacement, answered plainly.
Can I put a regular house air conditioner or furnace in a mobile home?
No. Manufactured homes require heating and cooling equipment that's specifically approved and labeled for mobile-home use. A standard residential furnace isn't allowed in a mobile home and isn't safe there. We only install equipment that's rated for your home.
What size system does my mobile home need?
It depends on your home's size, layout, insulation, and windows — not just the size of the old unit. We measure your home and size the new system to it, so it keeps up without short-cycling or leaving rooms uneven.
Do you replace systems in both single-wide and double-wide homes?
Yes. We work on single-wide and double-wide manufactured homes, with package units, split systems, or ductless mini-splits depending on how your home is set up.
The system in my mobile home was replaced before I bought it. How do I know it's the right kind?
That's a good reason to book a free second opinion. We measure the equipment, check whether it's rated for manufactured housing, and give you a written report you keep — before you spend anything.
How much does a mobile home system replacement cost?
It depends on the type of system your home uses and its size, so we give you a firm price after we've measured — not a guess over the phone. Your quote is yours to keep, with no obligation.
Do you serve mobile homes outside of Austin?
Yes. We cover the Austin metro and the surrounding areas — including Bastrop, Buda, Cedar Creek, Kyle, San Marcos, and Lockhart — where a lot of manufactured homes are.
