    Replacing Mobile Home Furnace
    I am rehabbing a mobile home. It has an original Coleman gas furnace. Given the condition of home I am assuming the furnace needs to be replaced. My local Habitat Restore has a Trane Furnace XE90 Air Conditioning Unit XE1000 and A frame. Can I replace the Coleman with this Trane system?

    All equipment used in a mobile home must be listed and labeled for such use. In other words the Trane unit is not listed for use in a mobile home. This is for safety and to meet HUD requirements.
