At Palm Harbor Homes we use efficient insulation to help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The Austin and San Antonio area heats up over summer, so it is a smart move to install air conditioning in your modular home. Our San Antonio and Austin home selections have different cooling options available that can be bundled with the purchase of your modular home. Some modular homes we sell include air conditioning units, but there are also a variety of units to choose to install in your modular home. Central air conditioning units rely on an outdoor fan unit and an indoor compressor to pump warm air outside and compress cool air to blow indoors. Central air units distribute air through a duct system that is either above your ceiling in the attic area or below in the crawl space of your modular home. At Palm Harbor Homes we like to include a central air conditioning unit in your modular home due to how easy it is to install central air ducts when the home is being constructed rather than adding it later.

We will route the vents and ducts to efficiently cool your home in the hot summer months. Window Air Conditioning Units Window air conditioning units are great for covering small rooms in a home. in wall ac unit repairA window unit slides in the opening of a window and plugs into a wall outlet inside. ac units no windowIt is hard to find a window unit that exactly fits the size of your window opening, so you will have to find extra panels to cover the holes in your window.sell ac unit Window units are a great temporary fix to air conditioning, but they are hard to install and have to be taken out in the winter and reinstalled in the winter. Window units are also not the most efficient method of cooling an entire house. By the time you install a window unit in every room of your home, it will reach the price of installing central air conditioning.

Portable air conditioning units are large towers that work like wall units, but can be placed in large rooms. Portable units still require a venting system to the outside of your home, but the vent easily fits any window opening. Portable air conditioning units work well for large rooms where you can direct the cold air around. Ductless Air Condition Units Ductless air conditioning units are mounted on the top of walls near the ceiling and require a vent to the exterior so warm air can blow outside. This unit requires a smaller hole to go outside and is an efficient and space-saving way to get air conditioning into smaller rooms. The capacity of ductless air conditioning units is ideal for small to medium sized rooms. Wall Air Conditioning Units Wall air conditioning units are similar to window units but are installed directly into the wall. Walled units need a large space to be cut into a wall, and are a permanent installation. They are ideal for smaller areas and are more expensive than window units.

Wall units are great for small rooms without windows but are more expensive than window units.

Our window air-conditioners partly block a desirable view. Would it be worth getting through-the-wall units installed in our apartment before trying to sell it?A. Through-the-wall air-conditioning units are always a plus, said Jill Raff, a salesperson in the New York office of Keller Williams Realty. And some potential buyers might rule out an apartment altogether if it has window-mounted air-conditioners.“I’ve been with buyers who have eliminated apartments from their list because they didn’t want the hassle of taking an air-conditioner in and out seasonally,” Ms. Raff said. “It’s big, it’s bulky, it’s cumbersome to deal with, and you have to do it a couple of times a year.”Blocking views is an issue as well. “The views from an apartment are one of the key criteria that most buyers look at when considering a property,” she said, adding that a portly air-conditioner can diminish the appeal of an otherwise pleasing view.

For both reasons, Ms. Raff strongly recommended having through-the-wall air-conditioners installed before listing the apartment. She added one caveat: Because installation involves cutting holes in exterior walls, some buildings don’t allow it. “First check with your building management and alteration agreements to get approvals,” she said. “And follow the right guidelines.”Historic buildings in particular may have restrictions when it comes to installing through-the-wall air-conditioners, said Ranjit Singh, owner of the New York air-conditioning company Cool Air Inc., “but in most buildings, it’s no problem.” As long as it’s allowed, he agreed that through-the-wall units are preferable. “A large share of the market for room air-conditioners are window units,” he said, “but windows aren’t actually made for air-conditioners.”His company offers seasonal storage and installation for window air-conditioners, but it also sells and installs through-the-wall units.

To create an opening for a through-the-wall unit, technicians hang a small scaffold out the window and cut a hole from the outside of the building. Then they install waterproof membranes and a permanent sleeve to hold the air-conditioner. (, costs about $3,000.)Mr. Singh said he prefers air-conditioners from Friedrich, for reliability and because he believes they will be the easiest to replace in the future. “New York has lots of different types of sleeves, because companies came and went,” he said, but “the most standard-size sleeves come from Friedrich. They were the same size 50 years ago as they are today.”Having the work done can be temporarily disruptive, Ms. Raff said, but it is likely to pay off once the apartment is on the market. A desirable view is “something that people pay good money for,” she said. “So why mar it with a bulky, ugly window air-conditioner?” Unpublished questions cannot be answered individually.Concept believes providing our customers with the air conditioning products and services they need requires a personal touch.
