I had changed my heating vents not all of them just 3 aren't the original type which are in the floor of every room , so when I turned on my heat for the first time this year I noticed the 3 vents are letting the air out at at very steep angle as compared to the original vents which allow the air to come straight upward , the bottom line more air come out of the original vents but straight up instead of at an angle so are these vents that aren't allowing the air to come straight upward less efficient that the original vents , bottom line should I buy 3 new vents that are for mobile homes?
The amount of air that flows to each room is determined by the size of the ducts. Once pressurized all rooms should already be balanced. The diffuser may alter the direction of the air but the hot air will quickly rise and the cold air return from the furnace will such the colder air from all rooms at once down the hallway. Hence the diffuser is doing it's job, It does not need to be replaced. Trailer sized diffusers are difficult to get and match. If you cut the hole size larger to allow a house diffuser you may have unbalanced the amount of heat for each room... if you cut them all larger then it is back in balance again. Weather the air goes up or sideways is just personal preference. You can get magnetic shield to divert the air if you please for far less money.
SOURCE: problem running heater
Its not good that you dont know where the air filter is. Odds are there may not even be one in place. In Most mobile homes they dont pay much mind to proper filtration. The heat strips are covered with dust. If the heat Strips are that bad then usually the whole unit is clogged. Is there a unit inside the mobile home?? Or is the unit outside quite large and have ducts running to it??
SOURCE: AC, but no heat
The clicking noise appears to be the igniter. Since it is not getting gas for some reason it will not operate and will shut down. This could be due to the burners being dirty or it could be a bad gas valve or it could be in the electronic mudule. Make sure there is gas coming into the home to the gas valve.Since you hear the igniter operating , for the time being we will assume it is ok. Clean the burners with a wire brush. Make sure they are clean. When reinstalling the burner. Make sure the igniter is directly over one of the burners in the path that the gas will take. This is important. Before attempting any repairs make sure you understand what to do and what not to do. Gas furnaces can be vary dangerous. If this is something you are not absolutely sure you can do. Get a qualified service man to repair and service the unit.You can get a qualified service man right here on this site for your area. I hope I have been of some help to you.
SOURCE: HEAT PUMP/AIR CONDITIONER UNIT SMELLS ONLY WHEN AIR IS ON
Not sure what the smell...smells like. My guess is dirt or dust near the heating elements. These will cause a burning smell. Sometimes insects even get into the act..building webs.
You will have to clean that area out...sometimes a large blower or vac can dislodge the dust.

ductless mini split units are a very good choice! they are obviously quieter, more efficient and easier to maintain than window units. the downside is the initial expense of buying the unit, but this is paid back in eletric savings and peace of mind. Good luck Peyton
SOURCE: Hot Upstairs
A good heating guy should be able to balance your dampers to increase the airflow upstairs. Keep in mind heat rises. 2nd floors are the hardest to cool. You may need to add more returns to pull the heat down the the evaporator so it can be cooled. If you are lucky you may be able to adjust your blower up to a higher speed. You may have to even add some more supply airs. Check with your local building inspector. He may be able to give you a list of contractors in your area that would be good for this type of problem. Good luck>>>
