TIP THURSDAY: Think Closing Vents Saves Energy? Think Again!
It sounds logical — close the vents in rooms you aren’t using and send that cool air somewhere else. But your HVAC system was designed to move a specific amount of air throughout your home.
Closing too many vents can actually:
🔹 Increase pressure in your ductwork
🔹 Reduce proper airflow
🔹 Make your system work harder
🔹 Create uneven temperatures
🔹 Potentially increase wear on your equipment
The better approach: Keep your vents open and unobstructed so your system can maintain the airflow it was designed for.
