While it seems logical that closing vents in unused rooms would save energy, it can actually do more harm than good. Most HVAC systems are designed to distribute air evenly across the whole house. When you close vents, it creates pressure in the ductwork, which can reduce efficiency and even damage the system over time. I found a detailed explanation on this site: https://blendspace.com/can-closing-vents-to-unused-rooms-actually-save-energy/. It breaks down why closed vents might cause the system to work harder, not less.</blockquote><br> Cancel
