Is Your Manufactured Home Ready for Summer

Preparing Your Manufactured Home for Summer

Are you planning to welcome the summer with open arms but have not summarized your manufactured home? If you live anywhere in Central Alabama or the surrounding area, then you might be up for a highly unpleasant summer. After all, the region’s summer highs can occasionally rise to 100 °F! 

To help you avoid being in that situation, we bring you some tips to make your manufactured home summer-ready. 



1. Cover your windows in window films  

This is one of the most cost-effective solutions to get your home ready for the summers! Just apply films that provide insulation, privacy, and glare protection to your manufactured home. Using window films will be extremely useful during the sunrise and sunset as it will block the sun’s intense rays. These films will block more than 70% of the sun’s heat, more than 70% of the sun’s glare, and approximately 99% of the UV rays. 

2. Install a dehumidifier     

Humid air can raise the temperature and make your manufactured home hotter. Less humidity, on the other hand, makes the air cooler and lighter. Therefore, dehumidifiers are a must-have for mobile homeowners in Montgomery, AL.  

Opt for portable dehumidifiers as they are compact as well as affordable. However, as these dehumidifiers have limited operational ranges, make sure to place them in rooms that are not larger than what the machine can support. Generally, one unit is capable of keeping a mobile home dry.   

3. Install air conditioners 

Well, you would have thought of this one for sure. Though a little expensive, installing AC is one of the most foolproof ways to beat the heat. If you go for a central air conditioning unit, it will dehumidify the air and give you relief from the heat. Plus, you will require only one installation to cover your entire manufactured house. It can be used in the winters, too, to keep you warm. 

If you are looking for a more compact option, you should go for a window AC unit that provides cooling on a per-room basis. Apart from being one of the cheapest cooling appliances, window air conditioners are portable, so you can take them with you whenever you shift places. 

4. Invest in heat pumps   

A heat pump is another great option to keep your manufactured house cool. Heat pumps suck in the warm air from your rooms and have the best efficiency to cost ratio. Because they use a renewable geothermal process, they can even qualify for a tax rebate. 

These cooling methods will indeed protect you from the fierce heat and help maintain a lower temperature inside your manufactured home.
