Option 1
Closing the supply vent in an unused room may seem harmless, but it can raise static pressure, reduce airflow, and make the blower work harder. During cooling season, restricted airflow can even contribute to a frozen coil, and the rooms you use may feel less comfortable.
Keep supply registers open and unobstructed. Our $49 Duct/Home Comfort Assessment includes a duct leakage test and static pressure check to help identify airflow issues.
Option 2
Unused room? Keep its supply vent open. Closing registers can restrict airflow, increase static pressure, strain the blower, and contribute to a frozen coil during cooling season. It can also make the rest of your home less comfortable.
For help finding the cause of uneven airflow, schedule a $49 Duct/Home Comfort Assessment with Davis Heating and Cooling. It includes a duct leakage test and static pressure check.
Option 3
Closing vents does not make your HVAC system more efficient. Supply registers are part of the system’s airflow design, and closing them can increase resistance, reduce airflow, and raise static pressure.
Keep vents open, even in rooms you rarely use. If comfort is uneven, ask about our $49 Duct/Home Comfort Assessment, including a duct leakage test and static pressure check.
