Mobile home AC repair in Port Charlotte is a big part of our work. Charlotte County has a lot of manufactured-home communities, and these systems have their own quirks.
Most manufactured homes use a downflow air handler in a closet, feeding a trunk duct that runs under the floor. That duct sits below the home, where animals, wind and water can get at it. A torn belly wrap or a disconnected crossover duct between the two halves of a double-wide can dump a big share of your cooled air under the house.
We work on package units, split systems and the downflow air handlers common in older homes. Parts for older models can take some hunting, and we have sources for them.
Condensate drains on mobile homes are often run under the home and left to drip. We make sure they drain away from the piers and do not pool under the floor.
After Ian, many communities around Port Charlotte had tie-downs, skirting and outdoor units shifted or damaged. We check that the condenser is level and strapped down, and that the refrigerant lines were not kinked when the home moved.
When replacement makes more sense than mobile home AC repair, we size a new system to the home and use equipment listed for manufactured-home use. A system that runs but won't cool gets the same testing covered on our AC not cooling page.
