Can I put furniture in front of a return air vent?

• <div><p>If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. </p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/duct-installers/">Professional duct installers </a>suggest leaving between <b>six and 12 inches</b> of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system. </p></div>

"tech was awesome who came to quote and he scheduled me into a spot where someone else had canceled.... but after some thought about the fact they charge 675.00 no other company in town charges this much, i decided to cancel. (note this was less than 24 hours after I made the appt) I am a disabled veteran who lives off my disability and I just cant afford 700. When I tried to cancel it took me over 3 hours to get a hold of someone to try and cancel and when I did the guy told me they were keeping 20% or 135 dollars because I was canceling even though i was put in a spot that someone else had canceled. So now i am out 135 dollars for literally nothing in less than 24 hours. the guy just talks around in circles and its just super shady."

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Forced air systems should be inspected and maintained by a professional every year. A forced air technician will check the furnace, ductwork, and other key parts of the system to ensure it is operating efficiently and safely. Properly maintaining the system can reduce health risks and prolong its lifespan for years to come.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances.

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.

To clean an HVAC fresh air intake, start by going outside and figuring out where the intake is located on your home. Then, take a wire brush, rag, or wet/dry vacuum cleaner and use it to remove the built-up dirt and debris that’s accumulated on the external part of the intake.

Larger ducts aren't always better for CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). While larger ducts can handle higher airflow, they must be balanced with the system's capacity. Oversized ducts can lead to air velocity reduction, causing poor airflow distribution and efficiency issues. Duct size should align with system requirements for optimal HVAC performance.
