Most electric furnaces are not designed to heat a 2,000 square foot home but serves rather well in a smaller mobile home. There are even models that can be adapted to add a heat pump or other alternative heat source and use the electric furnace as a backup. You may have a mobile home or small cabin on the lake that hardly ever uses a heating source during the summer months but can come in handy should the weather turn cool.
Coleman, a recognized name in heating and air conditioning first began manufacturing electric furnaces for mobile homes in 1958 where there was a need to fill. Lightweight and throwing out 55,000 BTUs, this was a perfect fit for the smaller proportions of a mobile home. Many of these home brands still prefer to use Coleman electric furnaces today as opposed to gas units that are now available.
The Coleman 67M BTU EB20 Electric Mobile Home Electric Furnace is a good choice for a replacement or new unit for your property at 67,000 BTUs. With a top/front air return and ready for a 4-ton AC unit or 3-½ ton heat pump, you can pick up this unit for less than you would pay for a refrigerator. Weighing less than 100 pounds, one of these furnaces can be easily installed.
Perhaps you want to turn your garage into a small apartment or add on a section to use as a moneymaking rental unit. An electric furnace would be a simple solution to adding a separate meter for the electrical needs of your tenant together with their own personal heat source. As inexpensive as an electric furnace is, it could also be used as a backup source using alternative energy in case of a blackout.
An electric furnace is not the answer for every heating situation but can be beneficial in a mobile home or a small apartment. The Coleman name reflects quality with over 100 years of manufacturing of all types of heating and air conditioning needs with simple, parts accessible units that perform well.
