SUPPLY AIR VENTS

Supply vents are the termination locations of the ducts that supply cooled or heated air from the blower into the rooms of your home. These can typically be found in the floor on the main floor of your home, and in the ceiling on the other finished floors.

Each of these supply vents have a damper on them that can be adjusted from all the way open, to all the way closed, or anywhere in-between.

Use these adjustable vents to help regulate the temperature throughout your home. For example, if you restrict or close a basement vent in the summer, this will cause less cool air to flow into the basement and more cool air to flow to the other open vents including the ones on the main or upper floor. Or if you restrict or close an upstairs vent in the winter, this will cause more warm air to flow into the other open vents including the ones on the main floor or the basement.

The supply air vents and their sizing, location, and quantity have been engineered to provide even air flow throughout your home. By opening and closing registers, you can adjust the amount of cool and warm air that enters a room. Excessive re-adjusting or closing of the registers may cause an imbalance in the system and adversely affect its overall efficiency and longevity.
