Package Unit & Mobile Home AC in Melbourne, DeLand & The Villages, FL

Our Services
Common problems with package units in Florida
- Disconnected or crushed crossover ducts under double-wide homes, which send cold air under the house instead of into it.
- Rusted cabinets and coils, especially near the coast in Melbourne and Satellite Beach.
- Clogged condensate drains and algae in the drain pan.
- Failed capacitors and contactors from heat and lightning season.
- Rodent damage to wiring and duct connections.
Replacing a package unit
When a package unit is 12–15+ years old or needs a compressor, replacement is often the better value. We size the new unit with a load calculation and secure it on a proper stand or pad with wind anchoring. We also reconnect and seal the supply and return ducts. Package heat pumps are usually more efficient for Florida than package units with heat strips only. Ask whether your utility offers a rebate for that upgrade.
Package unit vs. split system
A package unit keeps everything in one outdoor cabinet, which saves indoor space and is common on manufactured homes and some older houses. A split system puts the air handler inside, which can be quieter and easier to service in some layouts. When it is time to replace, we explain whether staying with a package unit or switching to a split system makes more sense for your home.

Package unit & mobile home ac FAQs
What is the difference between a package unit and a split system?
A split system has an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler. A package unit has everything in one outdoor cabinet that connects to the ducts through a wall or the floor.
Do you work on mobile and manufactured homes?
Yes. We repair and replace package units and split systems on manufactured homes, including the duct connections underneath.
How long do package units last in Florida?
Many last around 10–15 years, less near salt air or if maintenance is skipped.
Why is my mobile home AC running but the house is not cooling?
A disconnected or torn crossover or belly duct under the home is a very common cause. We check under the home on every no-cool call.
Can I replace a package unit with a split system?
Often, yes, if there is room for an indoor air handler. We look at your layout and price both options.
Why does my package unit smell musty?
A dirty coil, a clogged drain or standing water in the base pan are common causes.
Do package units need hurricane tie-downs?
Yes. Outdoor HVAC equipment in Florida must be secured against wind, and we install the correct straps or anchors.
