How do I add central air to my modular home?
This is something we hear often, many manufacturers offer hot water baseboard heating or electric as the standard. We can take it a step further and add forced hot air heating combined with central air conditioning to our homes! Kirk Reynolds from Beaver River heating explains the process is very simple when building a Southern New England home. Combining the layout into the plans and working with the plumber from Straker plumbing we have come up with a cost effective and very efficient system for heat an air. The main duct usually travels the length of the mate wall with branch lines feeding the individual rooms. Prior planning prevents plumbing lines from interfering with duct work.

Scott from CCI Crane explains the importance of a well prepared site!
The crane weighs around 110,000.lbs. so a properly prepared site is the key to success! When we arrive we are looking for a fairly level 30' x 50' area with good stable soil to set up our crane. Once set up the crane has a maximum reaching radius of roughly 42' which may sound like a lot but can be deceiving! Working with Southern New England Modular over the years we have has been a pleasure since they visit the building site several times prior to our arrival to be sure everything is prepared properly. You can see from the photo's we have many options when it comes to crane placement.

How important is the set crew?
The set process is crucial to the successful out come of the finish product! it begins with the foundation and sill plate. A properly prepared foundation will have the sill plate installed square and shimmed level to allow for the proper placement of the modular boxes. The set crew plays a critical role in the process of placing the boxes correctly to ensure that the home sits square on the foundation and boxes are mated together properly. When setting the home the importance of proper placement is critical since a mistake early on will lead to major problems when it come time to raise and assemble the roof and gable panels. Rudy and Ryon have been setting homes for us for many years and understand the importance of a properly done job. We hear on every set what a great group of guys they are and how hard they work.

On Demand Hot Water!
Paul has just installed another on demand hot water heater and claims this is the new boiler of the future! Rather than having 50 gallons of water being heated constantly these new units heat the water as it is needed almost instantly! The units are propane fired and venting is completed right thru an exterior wall. The other nice thing Paul mentions is the energy efficiency of these units. Customers will be surprised at how little propane the unit burns to get the job done. He also suggest customers considering a on demand unit check the ratings of each brand, he says "There are many different options and warranties available you really need to focus on what's important to your use".
