Straight Cool with Electric Heat Strip / 2 Ton
Shop budget-friendly 2 ton mobile home packaged AC units with factory-ready electric heat strips designed for horizontal airflow and professional installation.
2 Ton
These straight cool packaged systems with electric heat are built specifically for manufactured and mobile homes that use horizontal supply and return. A 2 ton unit delivers about 24,000 BTU/h of cooling, hitting the sweet spot for many single-wide and smaller double-wide applications. With SEER2 13.4 efficiency and options in R-410A or next-generation R-454B refrigerant, these systems balance value and compliance with today’s performance standards.
Perfect for homeowners, DIY-capable buyers (purchase online, install by a licensed pro), contractors, property managers, and light commercial modular spaces, these all-in-one cabinets simplify replacements of older rooftop or slab-mounted package units. Typical use cases include cooling mobile or manufactured homes and providing mild winter comfort via an electric heat strip when a furnace or heat pump isn’t required.
Key specs include SEER2 13.4, 2-ton capacity, cool-only operation with an electric heat strip, and horizontal airflow. Choose refrigerant to match your project: proven R-410A or low-GWP R-454B where permitted. Select a compatible electric heat strip size based on climate and electrical service. Professional installation and local permits are required; verify roof curb, duct transitions, electrical capacity, and clearances per code and the unit nameplate.
Get strong value at a budget-friendly price point around $2,685-$3,711, with compact footprints that reduce field complexity versus split systems and streamline 2-ton package replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a 2 ton packaged AC with electric heat strip for mobile homes?
An all-in-one cabinet with condenser, evaporator coil, blower, controls, and an electric heat strip (factory-installed or field-installed per model). Thermostat, curb, and accessories may be additional.
How does SEER2 13.4 compare to older SEER ratings for efficiency?
SEER2 uses a newer test method; 13.4 SEER2 is roughly comparable to about 14 SEER on the old scale, offering solid baseline efficiency for many regions.
Should I choose R-410A or R-454B refrigerant for a replacement unit?
R-410A is widely supported; R-454B offers lower GWP and may aid future compliance. Confirm local code acceptance, serviceability, and installer preference for your area.
Is horizontal airflow required for my mobile home packaged unit?
Yes-mobile-home packaged units use horizontal supply and return. Verify your existing duct orientation and choose a horizontal configuration to match.
What size electric heat strip is compatible with a 2 ton package AC?
Common selections are 5-10 kW for mild-to-moderate climates. Colder areas may need more, but always match to available electrical service and code.
Do these units require professional installation and permitting?
Yes. A licensed HVAC professional must install and commission the unit, and permits/inspections are typically required by local authorities.
Can a 2 ton package AC adequately cool my home’s square footage?
Often suitable for about 800-1,200 sq ft, but actual needs vary by climate, insulation, and sun exposure. A Manual J load calculation is recommended.
Are these packaged units suitable for rooftop mounting on manufactured homes?
Yes, when the structure is rated and a proper curb or support frame is used. Follow manufacturer instructions, HUD/local codes, and installer guidance.
Can I reuse my existing ductwork and electrical connections?
Often, if they are properly sized and in good condition. Your installer may add transitions or upgrades to meet airflow and electrical requirements.
What power supply and breaker size do I need?
It varies by model and heat strip kW. Use the unit nameplate MCA/MOP to size wiring and breakers; many residential units are 208/230V single-phase.
