Hi,
I have an old furnace in a lake house (~30 years old single wide mobile home) that I frequently use about once a month. The existing furnace is too old and has to go. Window AC are used during summer.
I purchased a used Package unit (Carrier 48SS-042 -LP furnace and 3.5 tons AC.) I plan to install it myself to save $$$money. My neighbor is a plumber and will be taking care of the propane part. Luckily for me, a dedicated circuit was already allocated to the Window AC, so all I have to do is rewire to the unit.
The toughest part for me is the ductwork from the unit to the trailer. I have never done ductwork before (except the minor sealand or insulation) so I really need your help in determinning what type and size of ductwork and how to use it, if all possible.
btw.. I plan to reuse the existing furnace closet area for the air-return and also to connect to the main ductwork. any concerns!?
Thank you in advance.
