What type of HVAC system did I choose for my mobile home?
About a year ago I decided to leave the apartment life to own my own property.
- I have simple tastes and because I live alone except for my cat and dog I know I don’t need much space.
However, I was tired of the close proximity of other tenants with all the noise and commotion they were making. I just wanted my own little plot of land. I ended up deciding on buying a small plot and getting a single wide trailer. I felt that it was all I would really need and without a house payment and a minimal amount of utility bills, I would be free enough financially to take all sorts of vacations and just live comfortably and with less stress than if I decided to get a mortgage on a more expensive home. It ended up costing me about 76,000 dollars, 10,000 dollars of which I was able to pay up front. My mortgage is very low and I’m happy. The one thing that puzzled me the most about my new place, however, was how it would be heated and cooled. That turned out to be really simple. The best option for me was a mini split heat pump HVAC system. Mini split systems are very small and easy to install and very simple in nature. There is a small indoor component attached to an outdoor component. I ended up installing two mini split heat pumps which together managed to heat and cool my mobile home very well indeed!
