Mobile Home Heaters

Mobile homes are more likely than the other types of homes to heat with propane (LPG). More than one-third of mobile homes use electricity and about one-third use natural gas for heating.

Manufactured homes often have higher energy bills than comparably sized site-built homes. While their construction style poses some restrictions, there are still many energy improvements you can make on a mobile home that will save you money and increase the home’s comfort, health and safety, and durability.

The first place to start is choosing high efficiency heating equipment. If your mobile home has older, inefficient heating consider a replacement system. The money you save on heating costs can quickly repay the purchase price. This is usually the most important energy improvement and can save thousands of dollars over the life of the home.

The Portable Furnace is the
most economical way to heat.

In Midwestern Utility field tests for heating seasons, the Portable Furnace used an average of 35% less energy than conventional electric furnace/baseboard systems. Comparable results were found during comparisons with fuel based heating systems. Individual results, of course, depend on insulation values, local climate, and other conditions.

Portable Furnace users agree that it is
the best value available.
