This Ductless Heat Pumps for Zonal Heat in Manufactured Homes measure relies on analysis done for the DHPs for Zonal Heat in Single Family Homes measure.  Like the SF measure, this is the installation of a DHP in a manufactured home with existing zonal electric heat. Also like with SF homes, the cost-effectiveness of the MH measure is dependent on where the DHP is installed and if supplemental heating is present and similarly includes screened measure applications.
