5ton split unit in a mobile home 1500 sq ft
I was called over to this elderly couples home to install a Ac unit in a wall for them, I looked at it and told them it was not the type made for a wall mount. ($99.00)unit . I asked them what was wrong with unit they have, they said it was 4 years new and it was a 5Ton unit i asked if the floor registar were blocked they said maybe 1 a little, and they told me electric bill is 5 to 6 hundred a month and it doesn't get cool if it 90 or above outside they had storm windows installed and a 2" styro foam roof installed over the top of the existing one. I asked about his filter he said he changes them and he had some new ones so i asked if I could change them for him that is when i noticed 2 10" x 10" return air grilles on the wall in the laundry rm actual size was more like 8x8. The door for access was located outside 4 screws holding it I removed them pulled the door back it weighed about 5 lbs it was constructed of the same aluminum siding has the rest of the home with a thin fiber bd slid in ea siding mounted to a 1x2" frame, so i changed,
