Rooms that are too hot or too cold can be fixed with a register booster fan

Does it aggravate you to spend money on your mortgage and utility bills and then see rooms in your house that no one will use? Most houses have at least one room that no one will use – and it’s usually because it is too hot or too cold.

A register booster fan can fix that and make every room usable.

These uncomfortable rooms are usually in one of two locations: farthest away from the furnace or air conditioner or on an upper level of the house. The air flow from the vents is weak because the room is at the end of the duct run and air has been diverted to several rooms before it ever gets to that last room. In addition, the air has drifted through the extreme temperatures surrounding the ducts in the attic and is no longer cool from the air conditioner or warm from the furnace by the time it gets to the problem room.

Some people spend a lot of time and money with an HVAC contractor trying to fix the problem. Others purchase energy-hungry space heaters, fans and window air conditioners. Besides using more energy and increasing the utility bill, according to the National Fire Protection Agency, space heaters account for a full one-third of home heating fires and four out of five home heating deaths. Not only that, but fans and space heaters can also be trip hazards for children and the elderly.

Register booster fans are much less expensive to purchase and to operate. They replace the register cover and sit in the existing vent. They are easy and quick to install; plug the unit in, set the temperature and you’re done.

Some register booster fans, like the AirFlow Breeze, dept come in a variety of models, sizes and colors. There are units that will fit floor vents, low or high wall vents and ceiling vents. Homeowners with baseboard vents can now take advantage of a register booster fan. AirFlow Technology introduced the first baseboard model late in 2010.

A register booster fan runs automatically, triggered by a temperature sensor. It pulls air out of the duct and into the room, moving air more quickly from the ducts which increases air circulation and gets cooled or heated air into the room where it improves the temperature. In fact a register booster fan can improve the temperature by as much as 5 degrees.

You don’t have to spend another summer or winter in an uncomfortable room and you don’t have to spend a fortune to solve the problem. Take advantage of a register booster fan for your home.
