Are Your Air Vents blocked?
Blocked air vents can cause your heating system to go into overdrive
Taking steps to help your home heating system run more efficiently can reduce energy use and lower your winter bills.
Check to see if any air vents around your home are blocked by furniture, curtains or other items. Obstructed vents force your heating system to work harder than necessary and can increase pressure in the ductwork, causing cracks and leaks to form. If necessary, consider purchasing a vent extender, which can be placed over a vent to redirect air flow from underneath furniture or other obstructions.
