    furnace blower

    My home is a manufactured home bought in 1999. It is made by dutch. It has a coleman furnace. It also has central air. The problem is ever sence we move in you can"t hardly feel any air comming out of the ducts, you can feel more air blowing out of some ducts and none out of others. do I need a faster blower motor or what?

    Check to see if all the floor registers are open completely. Then have a contractor check your cross over duct that connects your duct system under the home. A lot of times this croos over duct comes lose and your air is going where it shouldnt,or it could have a serioud leak at that connection. This happens alot.

    How many times must one fix something before it is fixed?

    You doan need no faster motor. You need a Fleetwood. Dutch homes are widely known to have bad ducks. Nothing you can do.

    Those Dutch do cut a lot of corners. Don't they use wooden duck work?

    It sounds like a Modular Home and they come with 2 duct systems that are tied together from front to back or side to side with a flex duct (normally 10" dia) and it is not worth a fart. The furnace side gets more air and the secondary side gets hardly any.
    As "beenthere" mentioned, obtain a professional HVAC company to make this determination
