hisjr
conditioning to my 14x70 marlette mobile home.

what size would i need (2 & 2.5 ton was recommended)
what is the approximate cost
does anyone know a good & inexpensive service near albany or lake george ny.

anything else?

service company who is experienced in these installations. One reason
being they most likey do not have experience with the heating unit and
would have to do a search for parts. A MH service company would
likely have them on hand. If your home is less than 10 years old you
should be able to match up the ducting(Wont know until they take a
look). Electrical service would have to be done also. One note, a 2
ton unit it too small for a 14x70. I would recommend a 3 ton at
minimum. Cant really give you an estimate, too many variables
involved. Makes and models may be a moot point as you are going to be
restricted by the size of your heating unit and what can be matched up
to that. So your choices are going to be limited. Tom

I would caution against an oversized a/c unit. 500-600 sq ft per ton
is adequate particularly where the home is located. Too large of unit
will no run long enough to remove moisture inside the home which can
cause other problems. The constant starting up of the unit even for
shorter periods of time will shorten the life of the compressor as
well.

Do you mean the length positioned n-s?
