Hi, this is Anita from Real Estate Crunch,
where we talk about all things to do with

00:10.760 --> 00:14.640
real estate. Today we're going to
talk a little bit about modular homes

00:14.640 --> 00:18.959
And one of the questions a lot of people ask
is modular homes come with a HVAC system or

00:18.959 --> 00:30.200
the heating and the cooling systems already in place. Generally speaking,
modular homes do come with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems

00:30.200 --> 00:34.639
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems are used to move warm air, cold air

00:34.639 --> 00:41.759
and ventilation throughout the rooms. Let's say if the modular
home manufacturer tells your home only comes with AC, that means

00:41.759 --> 00:46.240
your modular home is only coming with air
conditioning. Now there might be some reasons for that

00:46.240 --> 00:53.319
If they're selling you a modular home that's going to be used in a place
that doesn't need heating, they may only sell you with the air conditioning

00:53.319 --> 00:58.520
If it's going to be in a place of the United
States, it's going to be colder, then it should

00:58.520 --> 01:05.279
also come with the heating system in place. Normally speaking,
the modular homes will come with a furnace and an air conditioning

01:05.279 --> 01:16.639
system and also with some of the ventilation systems in place. What type of
system it is, whether it's gas or it's electrical or how the system is being

01:16.639 --> 01:22.220
used really depends upon the modular home
supplier and what they are supplying

01:22.339 --> 01:28.860
It's very important that when you buy a modular
home that you understand this about the heating

01:28.860 --> 01:34.260
ventilation and the air conditioning system
and exactly what you are buying and exactly

01:34.260 --> 01:41.540
what it entails. But generally it should entail
something as a furnace and the air conditioner

01:41.540 --> 01:49.699
Heat pumps could be another type of unit which
circulate an air, heated or cooled air around

01:49.699 --> 01:56.580
You could have a ductless mini split system. There's
different types of systems that you could have

01:56.580 --> 02:04.180
If you're looking to buy a modular home, those are the questions you need to be asking.
In fact, if you're looking to buy any type of home, it is a question that you need to

02:04.180 --> 02:09.220
be asking exactly what is your heating and
what is your air conditioning system which

02:09.220 --> 02:15.899
is in place. Generally today, a lot of
modular homes are energy efficient homes

02:15.899 --> 02:21.139
Many of the home suppliers that are producing
modular homes are producing them to be energy

02:21.139 --> 02:26.539
efficient homes. They may try to use
less energy consumption than other homes

02:26.539 --> 02:30.860
They may build the homes in such a way as
that the homes will not need to use as much

02:30.860 --> 02:38.020
energy as other homes. So they may not have the exact
heating or air conditioning systems as you would have

02:38.020 --> 02:45.500
for a traditional home. That is why many modular homes
today and many modular home suppliers are also considered

02:45.500 --> 02:50.940
to be more like green homes in that they
are trying to produce homes that can help

02:50.940 --> 02:58.699
save on utility bills. They try to use
homes that save on water and save on heat

02:58.699 --> 03:05.300
They try to have homes that have building waste
reduction and they have high sustainable standards

03:05.300 --> 03:09.699
This is one of the things that appeals to
many people when they are looking to purchase

03:09.699 --> 03:14.539
a modular home is that many of these homes
can be green efficient homes that they may

03:14.539 --> 03:21.259
already have the green efficiency in place
because these homes have been built offsite

03:21.259 --> 03:27.300
in the factory. So this allows them to be able to
build these type of homes that will have these type of

03:27.300 --> 03:37.860
energy and efficiency aspects already in place for the home itself. That for me
is really one thing that appeals to me, reason why I like many of the modular

03:37.860 --> 03:42.220
homes that are being built because many of
them are highly, you know, green or they may

03:42.220 --> 03:47.339
even be, you know, resistant to things as
fire. They might be resistant to hurricanes

03:47.339 --> 03:52.660
They may have these other type of things already
built in because of the way the home was built

03:52.660 --> 03:57.899
So it's very important when you're looking to buy a
modular home that you understand what you are buying

03:57.899 --> 04:01.699
And I think this is what the lesson is for
anyone that's looking to buy a modular home

04:01.699 --> 04:07.059
is to do your research, check it out and understand
exactly what you are getting and what is being

04:07.059 --> 04:12.419
included in the price of the modular home.

Thank you so much for listening. I have a blog post I've written
called Do Modular Homes Come With the HVAC, the H-V-A-C system

04:21.339 --> 04:26.059
And you can be able to read more about this
and you can be able to learn more about some

04:26.059 --> 04:31.859
of the details and about why modular homes, many
of them are considered today to be green homes

04:31.859 --> 04:37.140
Thank you so much for listening. We really do appreciate you
and we'd like to thank our technical team, especially RECO

04:37.140 --> 04:41.000
puts this together. Thank you. Thank you
