Replacement of Electric Furnace

[summerhill]

I have an older mobile home with a Wesco Air Comfort Division electric furnace, model # 15.7MC240V, (manufactured in the 1970's). I believe the company has evolved into Air Comfort, Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

I am starting to have problems with it (an element is currently burned out, etc.) and would like to replace it. Can you tell me of a source for a replacement unit with the following specs:

15 kw, 240V
Downflow unit
20" W x 20" D x 33" H

If I can't get a compatible size, where can I purchase the following elements (I am including all the numbers I could find):

5KW240V, 7434525, EPD833834, 120402
10KW240V, 7434505, EPD829830, 120403

Thanks!

Hi,


Look at this pic :

Are your element coils ran this way ?



In other words, do they run through round insulators or do they hook onto insulators from side ?



Thanks,

Hi Robert,

The picture is pretty close to what I have. I didn't pull the element out, but the outside looks very similar.

The unit is so old, and has had a couple other problems, so I'd like to replace it with a new furnace if possible. If that's not possible (without a lot of hassle) then a new element would be good to have.

Thanks!

Hi,

We don't sell complete units, just the parts for them as needed.

For yours, IF it has elements strung same as pic, you can buy restring kits and restring the coils or send to us to have them restrung for you.


To get a new furnace, you can look online or for best results, have an HVAC company come out and give an estimate.

It would have to be for a mobile home as for as the blower motor .


Take care and best wishes,
Robert
