Can I close vents to deflect air?

• <div><p>No, because closing air vents could damage your HVAC system. Closing a vent will only keep the air in the duct, not redirect it to a room or zone where you’d prefer it to be. That air will become trapped within your ductwork, creating a buildup of pressure that can damage the ducts and cause leaks. </p></div>

We discovered a dead rodent in one of our vents after the smell spread through the house. We removed the mouse but also noticed lots of dirt and debris in the duct work. We just moved into this 45 year old house about 6 months ago and so we decided it was time to get the duct work cleaned. ...

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or ASHRAE, sets the standard guidelines for air changes per hour in homes and businesses. The International Residential Code, or IRC, also sets ACH requirements for residences and bases those requirements off of ASHRAE standards plus climate specifics related to your location.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that there's no conclusive evidence to show that dirty or dusty air ducts increase dust and airborne particles in your home or pose any risk to your health. On the other hand, your air ducts require cleaning if there's any mold or mildew, you have a rodent or insect infestation, or you have clogged ducts. Regular air duct cleaning will also extend the life of your HVAC system, leading to less frequent repairs and preventing premature replacement in the future.

No, because closing air vents could damage your HVAC system. Closing a vent will only keep the air in the duct, not redirect it to a room or zone where you’d prefer it to be. That air will become trapped within your ductwork, creating a buildup of pressure that can damage the ducts and cause leaks.

You may be interested in moving a return air vent as an alternative to adding a new one. You can technically move return air vents, but you should always consult an HVAC professional before doing so. Moving your return air vents can disrupt your HVAC system's airflow and may require that a pro make adjustments to the ductwork. Moving the vents as a DIY project could damage your HVAC system and cause it to work improperly.

For most homes, the common causes of poor airflow in a duct system are blockages, typically from dust, debris, or buildup. Other factors include leaky or disconnected ducts, improper duct sizing, and clogged air filters. These issues restrict airflow, reducing HVAC efficiency.
