Frequently Asked Questions

Your mobile home’s ductwork acts like the circulatory system for your HVAC setup. If there are leaks, blockages, or disconnected sections—especially common in older mobile homes—it can drastically reduce cooling efficiency. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 30% of energy used for cooling can be lost through duct leaks.

What does that look like in practice? Uneven cooling (some rooms sweltering while others feel like the Arctic), higher electric bills, and an AC unit that runs constantly without ever truly keeping up.

To fix this, a duct inspection and sealing service is highly recommended. Professionals use mastic sealant or specialized tape (not duct tape!) to close up leaks. If your ducts are poorly insulated or exposed underneath the home, wrapping them in foil-backed insulation can also significantly improve performance.
