After just under 1 year of constant use, the screen died. The unit functioned, but the backlight stopped turning on and is super hard to see the screen. I told AC Infinity and within 5 days I had a brand new one at my door. That's the kind of company they are, immediate fix for an issue with even the slightest thing which didn't effect functionality of the unit (still operated fine). Such a great device
I have multiple products from AC Infinity and everything I've gotten, the grow tent, the 6" air duct inline fan, and multiple other fans from them. Everything was packaged professionally and is high quality products built to be affordable. I'm a fan!
I don't think that you understand how this unit functions. The temperature sensor senses cool or warm air (depending on whether you're heating or cooling the house) coming from the register in order to control the fans. Let's say that you are looking for increased cooling in an upstairs room that runs warmer than you want during the summer even though all the other rooms are ok. Setting the temperature to 70 degrees, the unit will sense when the air conditioner cycles on and will turn on the fans at that time increasing the cooling flow to that room. When the AC cycles off and the temperature in the duct gets above 70 degrees, the fans will shut down. Think of this device as an airflow booster when the AC is actually running.
You are correct. The instructions are clear if you read them carefully, even though they are initially counter-intuitive. The instructions essentially say that you need to first get a baseline for the temperature at the register when the ac is running, then you should set the temperature of the unit at that temperature or higher. The idea being that the fans would turn on when the temperature is below of what was set, and that is when the ac is running, then turn off when the temperature rises as the ac is not running. If you do this the unit does do a nice job of boosting the air flow from the duct.
I think you are completely wrong on how the unit works. The temperature setting is not for the room temperature. It is the number that the fan will turn on. You are doing it in the wrong way.
Before you install one of these make sure your air vent is clean so when the air comes on and the fan is on the fan doesn’t suck anything up and gets ruined
This is awesome! However you have one of two problems 1. You have duct leakage or 2. Bad duct design. If it’s duct leakage which is very common and we find 20% to 40% leakage in ducting. My thought would be to have a duct tester test your ducting system.
This is the second review that gets it wrong. You don't set it to the desired temperature. Think of it as a cutoff. In ac mode it will remain on as long as it reads below what you set. In heater mode it's the opposite.
I would think your thermometer is off from the reading on the actual unit because your Thermometer light beam is reading the temperature of the metal vent whereas the unit is actually reading the flowing air temperature.
It does , that is what the thermostat is for. set it at 70 and when it "feels" 70 degrees the fan kicks on and helps supply the room with more air, when the AC shuts off the thermostat doesnt "feel" the 70 degrees and shuts off. He didnt explain it well at all .
I have seen people with the measurement coming out of the vent. The question I have though is there enough airflow coming out from the vent to change the room temperature to what the thermostat is set to?
No it will not set the room exactly to the same temperature as the thermostat assuming its in a different room. The reason is that the thermostat room will cut off the Hvac before the other room gets a chance to get to the same temps but it will make it better than what it was without the product. If you have a smart thermostat then you will need to install a temp sensor in the room with the Infinity product and calibrate the thermostat to the temp sensor.
@@GoodCleanReviews well ok. But I guess what I’m asking is what effect do these smart vents have on the temperature of the room? Is there a noticeable difference? If my thermostat is set to 74 during like summer and the room hits like 80, do these actually decrease (or increase, depending on the season) the temp in the room, not necessarily what the thermostat is set to but do we get a drop in degrees and how much? That’s what I’m curious about.
I have a open area room kitchen living room have about 6 vents am planning on installing two at this time to see if there is any improvement. Am confused over one thing do the fans run only when the central air fan is running doesnot make any sense for fans to run when central unit has shut down
I'm planning on getting an AC Infinity for my room but instead of putting it in a vent, I'm putting it up against my window, will it still be able to blow cool air? Or will it just blow in hot air?
@@GoodCleanReviews I actually have that exact fan. My problem is that in the afternoon the air gets hot and it'll just blow in hot air, I'm trying to find a very small flat AC because I cannot remove the screens off of my window and I want it to be at least less than 300$. But if AC Infinity is only for helping air flow then I'll keep searching.
@@beemaribel3567 I see no reason why not but you will need to calibrate the temperature settings depending on the temperature outside so the fans come on. On the flip side it maybe cheaper to just get a window fan 😉
How are you enjoying the unit? I'm looking to get it for our nursery because it's freezing in there. I have a question regarding your demo. The cooling temperature was set to 73, and the current temperature was 65. Shouldn't the unit shut off since it was cooler than the set temperature
The fan runs based on the temperature you set it at and not on airflow sensing. It is not paired with your home thermostat though. It operates based on the temperature at the air vent. Hope this helps.
Booster fans or units are Fire Code violations in most US locations. Why? In case of a fire, they provide DRAFT for the fire, even with thermal fuses (links). I know it's kinda silly, but home owner's insurance companies are getting insane over fire losses too. Many older homes can't be insured against fire loses at ALL. Or water damage, or electric fires, or this, or that, or this other 'til like me, I dropped my homeowners coverage as it wasn't worth the paper it was written on. I'm putting what I was paying for insurance in THE BANK, and in 4 years I have $20,000, or nearly 1/3 the replacement value of my 97 year-old 869 sq. ft. house!
So if your house burned up and got destroyed a year from when you bought it and all you were doing was putting the insurance money in the bank for a year. How would u fix ur house?
Neat, but you can't get a mortgage from any bank without proof of insurance, and if you use an escrow, which is highly likely, then you must have home insurance, as it's required. But, yeah, cool.
All my HVAC buffs… wouldn’t this mess with the static pressures thus reducing the efficiency of the HVAC system? I think maybe this man has possibly a humidity issue and a poor performing HVAC fan.. Maybe even a Freon issue? What do yall think?
Definitely a ac issue, the air coming out of the register shouldn't be 60 degrees. 15 years medical + hvac + construction, college and hands on work experience,
Glad you asked. I had to figure out over time the right setting for the room but now I seem to have figured out the sweet spot and it's working fine both in the cooler and warmer months. Another update is that my 5 year old loves to press it's buttons that would mess up the settings and I discovered that there is a way to lock the controls so the settings cannot be changed inadvertently. So far liking it.
Since the product is basically sucking out air from the vent which in summer would be cold air, the cold air volume coming through would increase. This is what I meant by boosting the airflow. Hope this clarifies.
Looks like a functional unit but you're basically adding electric heating. As some of the vents aren't near wall plugs, can't deal with the aesthetics of a long cord running out of my vent across the floor. Looks hideous!
