How to adjust dampers:
In this video we first show you exactly where to find your dampers near your furnace. They are typically just off the plenum. We also show how to adjust the dampers. Simple instructions to change the position of the dampers to either block airflow or allow air through. This is a common seasonal request. If you are experiencing some uncomfortable areas in your home, you may need to adjust your dampers to allow for proper airflow.
If you do not have dampers, they can be added at a later time. Dampers are a great way to regulate airflow and control for hot spots or cold spots in your home.

You are a life saver!!

@miriamlandau1207 5 месяцев назад

Great! Thank you. That was very clear.

@johnygogo 2 года назад

Thank you kindly sir.

@juanlazu9435 2 года назад

Thank you so much,good information.

@spiderwrangler4457 Год назад

Exactly the info I needed. Figured it should be similar to a ball valve, but our apartment only had the wing nut, and it goes fully around, but was moving the damper as it did. Time to find my pliers!

@TheAirOfAuthority Год назад

Glad it helped!

@spiderwrangler4457 Год назад

It was only blowing in the bedroom, and the thermostat is between the kitchen and living room. Got the vents in the living room and bathroom open, so things should be much more even!

Great content - so what happens if the handle breaks off? I just noticed this evening that the handle to the air ducts that are upstairs was on the ground and you could tell where it came off - how do I put it back / get a new one without calling someone and paying tons of money? Thanks!!

Why do y'all never mention which season should be opened or closed? I assume it's super obvious to you, but when you are clueless it's confusing.

@skim1291 Год назад

For second floor AC, are these ducts usually located in the attic?

@robertferrara427 3 года назад

once I loosen the wig nut I could figure which way I wanted to go very good explanation.

@USSLKA-116 Год назад

I don't understand the "closed feature" of the damper. Summer or winter why would you want to close the damper?

@ifeelsoalive 3 месяца назад

In the summer you want lower the damper for the downstairs so more air flows upstairs where bedrooms typically are and where it gets hotter . Only useful if you have a multi story house or split level house

@ricardoperalezjr 11 месяцев назад

What if you have multiple of those pieces how do you know when it's open or closed???

@Slightly_JD Месяц назад

Are those mainly in 2 story houses? I have one in my 1 story house. What is the point of closing it at all?

@UndeniedPunisher 9 месяцев назад

My dampers do not have flat spots on the end to indicate which direction it's going. It seems like mine are perpendicular to the handle.

@tonyp3354 9 месяцев назад

All I can see is the plentum. It looks like i might need to remove some sheetrock to get a visual, Do all furnaces have dampers?

@aliciafellure9859 2 года назад

We don't have those! I thought this would save us this summer but I just ran downstairs in our basement with my husband and we looked where our furnace is and have no option to open or close no nut or anything! Is that normal? Our house is from 2017

Your Home probably like mine. Watch closely, it's probably drawn with a marker & with a steel controller attached in the middle.

@TheAirOfAuthority 2 года назад

Hi thanks for the question! We answered in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MIamafEBDkY.html. Hope that helps, thanks again!

My ductwork doesn't seem to have a damper. Everytime the ac shuts off it makes a loud bang as if the ducts are contracting. The sound echoes throughout the house and it is a bit of a disturbance especially when you have a baby in the house. Anyone got any solutions or probable causes?

@codingispower1816 Год назад

I have the same thing happening. Have you solved this?

@2shotsofvaca411 Год назад

Do you open or close it in summer ?

@Jabbal24 Год назад

Open means more air flow, so depending on if you need more flow, then open position

@Gcpm11Fan21 2 года назад

why does air still come out of the vents that the damper controls if I have the damper closed? Shouldn't the vent controlled by the damper have no air coming out if the damper is closed?

@JewportMenthols 2 года назад

It's a damper not a s seal. Air will still flow through if you close the damper it just won't flow at as high of a rate since it is a path of higher resistance
