Hi. My office building has an HVAC system with a large blower room and a drop ceiling throughout. In my particular office/room the air runs too loud through the ceiling vent tile. I asked about adjusting the damper and they claimed there's no damper in this building. I asked if there's any other solution and they said no. Does that sound right to you? And some rooms have vents with barely any air flow. Mine sounds like you're in a wind tunnel. Seems like there is an existing setup to cause different amounts of airflow to come through each room's vent

You open the damper and feel what vent is discharging. Then you mark it accordingly.

Thanks, I found them and now both sides of my house are getting cooled. Very helpful to know what to look for because it was very easy to do once I knew. It was 108 yesterday and gonna be 108 today, so this was definitely needed and appreciated.

2023 checking in. Still valid and useful, thank you.

I knew I needed to flip the dampers but I didn't remember which way was for summer and which was for winter. Now, thanks to you, I understand the 'why' of it so it is all extremely obvious now. Thanks for a quick refresher on the topic. Super helpful without all the annoying bits you frequently find on youtube instructionals.

I thought it was not normal for the upstairs to be so damn hot right now, which is what lead me to this video. Thank you! Adjusting the damper right now, it was wide open for the summer time, should I fully close it or slightly close it? I barely moved it and it seemed to cut off the air flow entirely to the upstairs.

Thank you so much

Thank you!!!

I wish I had the knowledge your dad has!

I have no metal ducting in our home. It’s all soft sided “tubing” throughout the attic. I have no idea where to adjust this. Our upstairs is freezing but downstairs is a sauna. Any ideas?

Thank u

Good job guys thank you for that help will try it

So if the damper is fully closed does this mean no air is traveling through the vent? I have a split unit. Trunk lines on each side of one of the units upstairs. On the right side the damper is open and on the left it's closed

I have been told the opposite applies to round ducts. I am Confused. I have round ducts. I will try adjusting them both ways and see what works.

What if the damper is in the unfinished basement that is not used? Do you want it closed or open?

hopefully it works tonight! I'm freezing downstairs 😅

What is you have a dual zone either honeywell dampers on supplies to each damper. Right now the damper is set to bleed some heat to the zone 2 bonus room when zone 1 calls for heat. Seldom does the zone 2 call. But what happens when we switch to a/c?

Hi we have two rooms upstairs. Vent from one room is blowing air however vent from other room blowing almost 0 air. For ground floor all the vents working fine. The technician said I will have to cut the entire vent line from uplfloar till basement to identify the issue. Any idea ?

Hi thank you for the great video. One question what if the the bolt with wing nut is broken and there is nothing to control the damper with ?

Hi thanks for the question! We answered in this week's video you can view here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXmkp6idkqi6oZc.html. I believe your question was the third one answered in the video.

How does the Vent Mode work? When to Keep it On and when to keep it Off? And the reason behind it, please? Thanks!

My wing nuts have not had one of the wings smashed as depicted in the video. Any tips for figuring out the orientation of my dampers without that indication?

Hello I have question I was changing the setting on one of duct work.dampers and damp handle was not connected

My damper lever is different. It moves up and down, perpendicular to the duct. Does all the way up or all the way down mean closed, and halfway is open?

Thanks for the info, but why do they have to make these things so difficult to find or to understand?

But what if I want equal amounts of heat for both upstairs and downstairs in the winter time? Would I just turn the thing halfway?

If it's a 3 story split level townhouse with attach garage then this isn't in my house or need zoning?

Trying to solve our issues with a hot second floor. Just curious, if we did install some dampers, would you completely close the dampers, or only pinch them back halfway or something?

Hi thanks for the question. We answer in this week's video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/immn09WtmNKte9Y.html. We address your question around the 1:31 mark. I hope that helps!

There is no damper on the large duct only on the round leads how do I know they are open

So how can you tell which damper is for the basement and which is for upstairs? We are renters and our landlord isn’t replying. House is 80 degree inside and we have people with severe asthma that need the cool.

Ok....... But only ones that go straight up to to the second floor!! Because I have nobody to help me. But I have one on every one Just trying to figure out. What goes upstairs and what goes to the second floor

home on slab, horizontal forced hot air furnace with a/c up in attic. this home has one zone. I believe no manual damper like you described. what is the best way to pull more hot air on first level. 2nd floor too hot even with vents closed. vents are on ceilings both floors

I had the same question

Well I don't have a sign that say open or closed so how will I know if it's open or closed. My kitchen on the middle level and master bedroom above the kitchen are freezing in winter. The open end of the house is very warm. I couldn't find anything that looks like the pictures.

The dad said u know it’s open when the silver wing is sideways and u know it’s closed when the wing is dropped down

My flames keep going out if the door is on the central heating

I just can't find what ones go to the top floor

Mine doesn’t have one of those anywhere

So where are they located downstairs access or upstairs?

@TheAirOfAuthority

Typically near the furnace. We are in the midwest and most people have dampers in the basement near the furnace. Every house is different, and some homes have no dampers at all, but the first place I would look is downstairs.

I have noticed one damper. It has a summer and winter written indicators. I opened the area where the damper is and when I turn the lever it closes for summer and opens for winter. Should it be the opposite? I ask this question because it summer right now and I notice that my upper floor was getting hot while the damper was set on summer. Should I just keep it open and then close it for the fall/ winter?

I'm in a townhouse and don't even know that I have this.

why is it that so many HVAC people lose their minds if you close a supply at the register when it seems like dampers are built into many HVAC systems and basically do the same thing, if not on a broader, more impactful scale...

You sound like my kids ….let me call my dad lol

Yep, dads are great! The source of all knowledge. :)

I don't have dampers, I have adjustable floor vents lol

While this info was great, it would have been nice to have an actual damper as a visual.

Hi Michael I agree! This video has an actual damper: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKur0bOQZ6irepM.html

One hour? You work in one hour?

99% of homes don't have dampers.... only adjustable vents which do NOT help in forcing more upstairs
