There are many types of Mobile Home roofs. Which one do you have? If it is metal you will need to take extra care as you do not want to walk where there is no support. If you are a heavy style person you definitely need to be extra careful. We have a man down at my camp that is real thin and younger...

If the pipe is black iron for the gas line most inspectors will accept that because if the 10 gauge wire did short to the black iron gas line it will not burn a hole in it. Copper gas line is another subject. Since copper gas line is a softer material, is thinner, and conducts electricity better mos...

Four pounds of refrigerant (freon) is quite a bit to add unless the system was empty. If the system was almost empty the service person should have looked for a leak, repaired the leak, added a liquid line drier, and pulled a good Vacuum to clear the system of non condensibles (air and moisture). A ...

On the small pull behind mobile units there is a serious problem with out gassing. The various chemicals in the carpet,glue's,coated wall board, and furnishings are causing a major problem as reported. These type of trailers are not intended to be lived in like they used them after a disaster. In 19...

If you plan on putting the new furnace in the basement under your house you will probably have some sort of duct work to do. All brands of furnaces are about equal on quality. The big difference comes to play with the installing contractor. New equipment takes special meters and tool to set them up ...

If this was a black water backup that got into the duct it is going to be a major problem. Black water is the stuff that flushes down the toilet. Grey water is washing machines,showers, and kitchen sinks etc. I would never trust a cleaning of black water from the HVAC ducts. Remember all the air for...

From my pther post. ((Disconnect the W wire in the furnace area and that will eliminate not only the thermostat but also any wiring problem from the thermostat to the furnace. )) If after doing this the furnace still runs at the same time as the A/C unit I would then replace the circuit board. Disco...

Usually on the ones I have worked on there was always a screw from the cap to the pipe. Now I guess someone could have used something else to make sure the cap stayed on. The top usually comes off and then you can see down the inner part of the flue. It is a pipe in a pipe system.

Sounds like you lost one leg or side of the 220 volts entering your home. Since some of the items work they are probably using 110 volts from the leg or side that is still connected. You need to find out which leg of 220 is not working and track down the defect and effect a repair. Electric can and ...

Yes and no. It depends upon the manufacturer and how tight there tolerances are. I have had many mercury thermostats set up correctly (leveled) that work just as well as digital. Cheap digital thermostats are usually junk to start with. They do not have close tolerance parts (resistors and capacitor...

Usually all you have to do is get the top cap off and then add the extension. When done put the top back on. The cap could be a little rusty and you may have to move it around a bit to get it off. Most times there are screws of some type there so the top does not come off in high winds etc.

If you have air moving out of the ducts the motor for inside the house is probably OK. You said the filter is clean. You said the Tech added refrigerant (freon) this may not be OK. If he did not do a sub cooling/superheat test on the system there is NO way he would know weather or not your unit need...

((The unit works fine in the heat mode, and I swapped out the thermostat. )) So you already changed out the thermostat and the furnace is still running in the A/C mode that solved one possible problem. Disconnect the W wire in the furnace area and that will eliminate not only the thermostat but also...

A package unit is a very nice way to go. The blower noise is outside, it is precharged with refrigerant so no one has to vac and charge the system. ( For a do it yourself it is good that you do not have to depend upon someone to braze,vac,and charge the system.) It will also free up a area in the ho...
