Lots of the poorest homeowning families in Texas are facing this because they are told from day one that it is normal. From top official HVAC companies to home manufacturers. It is all called normal. But in mobile homes only. That might help to cover the bogus reason for ever saying "legal" in mobile homes "only" in Texas "only"? Suggested Law: We are not allowed the air laws that congress made through EPA.

This is what happened to my family because Ancient laws are still in effect and obeyed with proof showing how wrong the laws really are. Wife must use inhaler now and never smoked etc.. My grandson has been here since his birth and has breathing problems that he got here. The future problems will be that of asbestos because it was the lowest grade insulation allowed by Texas laws for exteriors. The main concern for me now is the fact that we all breathed it for ten years while all made excuses to cover up what they thought was their "plan" for mobile homes HVAC and laws that could be omitted just to make sure as another excuse to do nothing. The long run is what has me so worried. It must be just like asbestos and will kill us all. But later on just like asbestos? I don't know but with what I discovered here hidden in insulation below my floor will cause exactly what asbestos does.

I complained to every one possible back in 2000 that it was not normal. It never slowed down or lessened at all. I would change filters every day and it would not make any difference. I complained so much back them that Action Aire gave me the new mobile home division of TDLR. They sent inspector here with camera. He took pictures of it all. All except where the problem was coming from. TDLR said mobile home division can not work on a case that concerns A/C. They took over and they said it is normal for mobile homes to have excessive dust. That was to cover the BS filter set-up. They never came here at all to make the investigation that got started by a division that can not do the case. They took all info I had back then and called it "legal in mobile homes only". They all thought they were covering the bogus laws. Just because of the pictures that a MHD inspector took. They all thought it was their plan at work so simply dismissed it because they know that they are the CAUSE and CREATOR of HVAC problems in "mobile homes only" I do not know how to get help but I will find it somewhere. Can you please look into this and call anytime. I had a few missed calls and messages deleted.

I am sorry for not having sooner contact. Here is one of the many letters that people like our officials have gotten. It explains some of it but not the details of how wrong this is and how easy to prove just that with TDLR's own books and web sites? Are you sure we do not need a little more honest regulations here? It is really too bad that all eyes here are closed to what is happening right under their noses? But who cares? It does not have any thing to do with their families lives or future lives of their grandchildren? I know it is election troubles and all the slander that is tried comes out now. I have been caught in the middle of this since 2000. Not one company or state office is able to defend the bogus laws created to create what? For who? I don't know or understand why such a thing is allowed to continue? I do not care just like the rest of you. I do care that my family breathed insulation particles while all made excuses to COVER UP THE BOGUS LAWS created for "mobile homes only" clean air to be eliminated completely with one in-action of our state? So here it is once again. Plead with Mr. Abbott to at least consider opening the case I keep filing with the Atty. General's office and complaint forms etc. If you can please? My family breathed insulation dust for years because out dated laws were being followed. Wronged by obeying ancient laws that cause harm. LAWS THAT make it legal to completely omit work and parts but only in a families home that purchased a manufactured home. The same family who bought and paid for a correct HVAC system that ended up sabotaged legally. A Concealed Weapon in use? A law that places a weapon when and where desired. A weapon that is legal to use. A weapon that is :specialized" to attack "only" the specified targets. or Only the "legal targets" A weapon that is IMPOSSIBLE to use on "ANY OTHER RESIDENCE". LAWS PROTECT THOSE RESIDENCES from it being able to happen. . A legal weapon that cost nothing to "place in action".

A legal weapon that has no cost to "maintain". A legal weapon that requires no cost to start or carry through with the guaranteed slow destruction. A legal weapon that requires not one piece of materials be used. A legal weapon that never misfires. A legal weapon that never misses it's segregated targets. A legal weapon that is guaranteed to work every time it is placed into use. My last contact with state official who is also had to follow depression era laws for mobile homes only. Because it was the law. He said he could do nothing at all about it. Your logo is Simplicity? Convenience? Efficiency? I don't think any of those are available for problems that deserve truthful answers. Guaranteed Health hazards that no one can deny. Created mechanical failures that no one can deny. Not one person in the entire world can come up with a single thing to say that is correct in any way about the insulation dust. Or anything good or correct about the legal "look like" filtering system that is guaranteed to cause damages. #1 rule, Clean Air in. The rule and code for many trades. "THE" #1 Rule of all HVAC businesses and manufacturers is clean air in, clean air out. .The legal in mobile home only method makes that impossible to be achieved. It is impossible to have a sealed system. #1 rule of all A/C companies of must have clean air into equipment is broken immediately. Because it is impossible to filter any part of the entire intake area.

The health hazards that are guaranteed is just one of the other side effects of not installing equipment correctly. Here are some facts to keep I had no idea what to do about the discovered missing tie-in. Discovered while replacing parts that were damaged from the filter set-up. Please give me a lie detector for any of this or more? If people get out of murder with it give me one for truth. I had to complain about the filters because no one thought it could be anything else except the faulty filter system at work. Doing what it is designed for. It is guaranteed to cause and create problems. What would you do if your family breathed insulation for 10 years? "it's legal", but in mobile homes "only", as the one and only reason it was able to occur. Just one true opinion with facts from any L&R about why it is "illegal" every where else to use tape as metal duct hanger and tie-in. A true opinion with facts about Just the health hazards" of the filter set-up. Maybe any HVAC manufacturers codes for installing correctly could be used? We breathed insulation while excuses wasted time for us. Excuses made to cover the filter wrongs. The wrongs that everyone has gotten used to calling normal in mobile homes only. Even our highest officials at state believe it is normal because that is what they were told. Not shown facts about results it has. Legal excuses. I have been complaining since 2001 and it is on walk through papers that something is wrong with A/C. That was at purchase of home in 2000. I have contacted everyone possible since then. I did not wait too long to complain. The complaints were covered with bogus excuses of a law. It is unsafe and very provable health hazards that are caused and created by nothing but the installation method that is called legal. My family and I have been caught in the middle? Our so called normal dust was insulation particles. It hung in the air 24/7. I do care that my family breathed insulation dust and particles for over ten years. The main concern for me is the missing tie-in that was discovered which caused all the insulation in our home. But discovered much too late. TDLR AC division gave answer of it is legal in mobile homes only for entire complaints answer. The discovered missing metal that had tape for the main connector to the duct work was a 3" total void of metal between two metal ducts., all covered over with tape.

Under the floor buried in insulation. And The make shift and the incorrect use of filters that cause nothing but problems and health hazards. That is what I had here. There should not be a time limit on proving how damages and health hazards are "caused and created by laws" or codes that allow it to occur, maybe even ancient laws obeyed? My families lives are important to me. We have been subjected to what is worse than asbestos because laws and codes "obeyed" allow faulty and illegal installations of AC equipment. But "only" in manufactured homes. Any states L&R office can supply facts, not opinions, that prove the harms and damages guaranteed to be caused by missing metal tie-in connectors. Any states L&R office can prove how wrong it is to NOT HAVE a sealed filter system for a residence. And the guaranteed problems caused and created from it. Obeying the law? Both times? 2001 and 2010? Both times with completely wrong answers for my family. How about an amendment that makes sure "all residences" deserve and HAVE safe air conditioning. The laws that keep your homes from being a health hazard. It should not take much time to get a law that says "all" HVAC hook ups should be the same as far as safety when used in any residence. Laws, CODES or something should show and say that it is AS WRONG AS IT IS. Someone please try to prove it is correct in ANY WAY. Especially any HVAC expert. It is "illegal for any other place or home" in America to have installed. But it is legal to expose my grandson to this because we bought a manufactured home. No tie-in and no possible way to have a sealed filter or sealed system. ALL "BASIC" STANDARD INSTALLATION CODES AND RULES of HVAC manufacturers are ignored. The ones you must follow to have your warranty be any good. Warranties are guaranteed to be voided as soon as installed and ran. By EVERY MAJOR MANUFACTURER OF HVAC in America. They know it destroys their equipment. They do not have a problem admitting that to anyone at all. Especially the consumers who ask. Any HVAC manufacturer, Any states L&R offices, Any HVAC academy or school, Any employee of TDLR, Any expert of HVAC can not find "just one thing" to say that is good or correct about the set-up that is legal "here only" because of a depression era law. Allowed and legal in mobile homes only. The “only” thing all of the experts "opinions" can come up with is :”it’s legal”. Nothing more, just it's legal, with no FACTS at all to even support why it is able to be called legal. Or why it should be legal. We simply have it to where the only places to complain to are all following ancient laws that harm us.

Mold is caused with this set-up. A very provable fact. Not maybe. Guaranteed. It is impossible and illegal to use tape inside duct work to cover voids in missing metal. It is also illegal to use to hang the duct with. Protect what equipment? Protect which people? Certain Consumers are under neither of those categories when it comes to the law and manufactured homes HVAC systems installation methods and operations. Texas is the most beautiful state. Texas is the most envied state by others. Texas has it all except for one thing? Updated laws for everyone? Protect who? Protect what, from who? What would you do if your family breathed insulation because someone was worried about a law being read or quoted correctly? This is wrong and my family got infested with insulation. Every A/C company and State office said it was normal and replace filters every two weeks. While all made excuses to NOT INVESTIGATE (only photos)what they all thought was the normal created filter problems in action. Making the so called "normal" dust problem? Everyone assumed it was a "filter problem" because of the way IT WAS INSTALLED. The mobile home only method. Expert HVAC Service Companies refuse to work in mobile homes. All the equipment in intake area is exposed to the same thing that your filters make sure to catch.

All that brown fuzzy looking dirt. To prevent what happens without filtering the air correctly.. Every time the unit is turned on, everything is exposed to unfiltered air in all the wrong places. I was told by most state agencies that it was normal and legal because that is what TDLR decided with old laws. They all must go by TDLR depression era laws also. Legal but not safe, Legal but not efficient, Legal but not recommended at all, Legal but impossible to use for a required "sealed HVAC system". The use of a correct system is impossible but the system is labeled legal. ” it’s legal” the one and only answer for me that anyone at all can come up with. Can common sense have a place in Texas? No one can prove anything is correct about the legal in mobile homes only set-up because "their proof" used to make laws, codes, and facts ALL prove it is completely wrong and illegal in your home or office. And why it was made illegal. Lots of good reasons used to never do it. This "legal"system that has hanging duct tied in with tape. The system causes and creates damages to the air conditioner and all it’s components. The system produces very high humidity. 100% very guaranteed in wrong places. The system looses very much of it’s efficiency because of all the unfiltered air and dirt that is allowed freely in "all the wrong places" Is this system guaranteed to create and cause health hazards? Yes. Very simple questions with very simple yes or no answers prove to anyone it should never be allowed anywhere. Wrongs and real problems that should "not be able to get covered with,” It is legal.

My families inside controlled environments are just as important as all codes say they must be for EVERY one else's homes and offices. Yours are protected by codes and laws. The Freedom of Information act can get more than enough evidence from any License and regulations office about how HVAC must be tied in to duct work. There are laws and codes that INSURE "it can never happen anywhere else", except our homes. Never yours or theirs because laws and codes "PREVENT" it. The more you look the dirtier the air system has been made that is called legal in mobile homes only. It is an injustice that should not be able to be endorsed and backed up by state laws that are provable ancient failure Laws that protect no one. The unit "can not possibly filter any of the air" that goes into "any part" of the ENTIRE intake area because of incorrect filtering. That leaves an entire home with unfiltered air. The missing tie-in has no explanation at all. It is deadly. It caused the visible dust 24/7. The entire HVAC collects and gathers dust. In All the wrong places that get dirtier and moister in all the wrong places. The coils exchange heat in the wrong places with nothing but UNFILTERED AIR which gets dirtier and wetter with NO WAY TO FILTER IT AT ALL. Snowballing. That all causes extra condensate in the wrong places. Causing 100% humidity in all the wrong places. It looses efficiency very rapidly. It waste electrical power. It gets worse with time and usage. I had a completely missing metal connection to duct work from unit. The needed filter rack was completely omitted also.

That is the part that makes sure "all the air" that goes into any of the equipment's intake area is "through a filter only". Manufacturers insist on it. Any HVAC inspector insist on it and will shut down job if not there. But left out legally in mobile homes only because of ancient laws. The missing tie in connection was hidden under the floor in the insulation that the EPA makes very sure is sealed good enough for road safety. I knew nothing of the missing tie in because all said dust was "normal" to be hanging in the air 24/7 BUT for mobile homes only. So live with it. So a case about filters and missing parts with TDLR A/C div. is all I could do two times. 2001 with all dust complaint. 2010 with discovered missing metal at tie-in of duct work. The ancient law is the filter set-up. The missing tie-in is the deadly part. New home owners are all told it is normal for mobile homes. It then becomes more and more trouble to take care of the AC . And all the excuses seem to get more and more normal and used by all. And like daily pills you learn to take them. Simple Questions? How about this one: Can this set-up of legal in mobile homes only possibly prevent any health hazards? NO Or this one: Can the set-up for mobile homes only prevent damages of any kind from happening? No. Or this one: Does the mobile home only set-up cause and create problems for any HVAC used on? A BIG YES. Mold is guaranteed along with the 100% humidity are just two small samples. Simple questions with simple answers should be all it takes to explain it to anyone. Of course that is not legal or something? It takes years to be told that you just have to live with it because it is legal. I can see the filters being called legal. But the missing tie-in and all the insulation here in home totally avoided? Because of a picture they all decided was the cause of the dust problem back in 2001.

The list of problems caused and created for the air handler and residence are "facts" that say to never allow this anywhere. Why can everyone only produce a statement of “it is legal” to explain it all? The air handler itself is nothing but created and caused problems because of the improper installation. "All manufacturers" of HVAC say “it voids our warranty” when installed this way. Instantly! Not after a while of usage. My family breathed insulation particles for over ten years because of all the misleading and wrong answers from all involved. including the ancient laws "more than most" to answer on critical issues for complaints. There are many questions that deserve answers. It could possibly effect a very large number of homeowners who are completely unaware because every one tells them it is "normal in mobile homes only". And they learn to take their pill. And are very well adjusted to all the extra cleaning required and bleaching the mold. Almost "every single statement" in the Texas Deceptive Trade Act and Consumer Protection Act, about all the wrongs and violations it takes to be called a deceptive trade are violated with statement of ancient “it’s legal” but in manufactured homes “only”.

To cover NOT HAVING ANY LAWS OF PROTECTION AT ALL is a better way to put it. No laws that even make sure HVAC's are installed with at the least, the very basic “required” manufactures parts and directions. Just to keep a warranty for new equipment. The same it’s legal would NEVER pass "anywhere else in Texas" or the entire USA. Health and safety, and protection? Not a one for us. Clean safe air and efficient operation of the air handler. All taken away should not be a part of buying a lower quality home. We need to get past the “it’s legal in mobile homes only” that is used instead of a real code or law being considered that at least meets the manufacturers installation needs. That should protect people and their environments. And the HVAV equipment's protection "all in one." The side effects of all this cost only the poor. There are many very legitimate reasons prove this should never be done anywhere or "to anyone". It is illegal in the zoos of Texas! It causes damage to HVAC! It waste electricity because of efficiency loss. It causes 100% humidity in all the wrong places while in operation. It requires two full size filters every two weeks to maintain the "normal extra dust" in mobile homes "only". 52 per year? per TDLR's maintenance instructions for mobile homes only A/C and how to control the so-called normal excessive dust. There was nothing normal about a missing tie-in. It got overlooked because of "NORMAL" answers from all when complaining about excessive dust.

Ask someone that manufacturers HVAC (ie:Lennox) to show or explain what their unit MUST HAVE to operate properly and REQUIRES when installed with people in the environment but mostly just to protect their HVAC equipment properly and keeping a warranty is THEIR MAIN REASON. Lots of return visits per year and Cleaning of the parts that should never be exposed to the dirt( that you get trapped in your filter) is what happens. Exactly what the filter is designed to do. That alone is impossible to achieve. Unfiltered air all ends up in/on the Air Handler and In every piece of the air handlers system that should be kept clean. There is no possible way to have a sealed system. Consumers are denied the installation method that HVAC manufacturers require and use as a STANDARD and “MUST HAVE” installation method. We get the voided manufacturers warranty when it is installed the Texas "manufactured home only" method. Consumers are placed in a guaranteed to have created health hazards environment when this is allowed. Consumers rights are denied. Consumer protection is denied. Consumer safety is denied. Home owners rights are denied. But only one branded consumer gets all this done by its LACK OF laws of protection. This is done to manufactured homeowners "only" because that is the only place in the world it was made legal back in depression era days?. The U haul climate controlled self storage units can not use this set-up. It is illegal. IT "causes dust and humidity" and It would never pass codes. Zoos can't use it etc.. The safe and effective air handling that is "required for all other people by laws" is eliminated completely and immediately when installed and used the mobile home only method.

It is damage causing and wrong. It would not cost the builders one cent to do it correctly. It would not cost any installer of HVAC one cent to install it the way HVAC manufacturers designed it to be done. Maybe some time to teach correct way to do it is all it would take? Every HVAC manufacturer on this planet says: “it voids our warranty” when installed the mobile home set-up method. My homeowners insurance (that is required) states : “we do not pay for damages that are "caused by improper installation of appliances or equipment”. They said filters wrong. Clayton Homes says “call the HVAC company that installed it”. Action Aire says : “call Clayton Homes”. After years of complaining to both and many others Action Aire says to call the new mobile home division at TDLR. The Texas Department of License and Regulation. TDLR is the place where I was told the installation of system is legal , but in manufactured homes "only". The only reason I ever looked into it at all is because I had a completely missing tie-in and TDLR insisted that I prove the filter set up is wrong, because all thought it was a filtering problem that has laws to protect it. They did?

I sure did by the looks of it and how it didn't work and was causing nothing but mechanical problems instead of filtering at all. It looked good but is completely useless for A/C filtering or residence filtering. Very provable to anyone and has been proven to TDLR who evaded it all with "it is legal in mobile homes ONLY". I have photos of all the missing and incorrectly installed HVAC. Please Help?
