Keep those registers open!

Think closing off registers in unused rooms will save you some money on your energy bill? Think again! When registers are closed, your HVAC system still needs to move the same amount of air through fewer registers-building pressure in the ductwork and making your blower motor work overtime. That extra strain can lead to higher energy use, uneven temperatures, and costly breakdowns. So do your system a favor - keep all registers open and free of furniture or clutter. You’ll get smoother airflow, better comfort, and a system that runs more efficiently, and lasts longer!
