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.
