One of the challenges of having a apartment fitted with a central heating and air conditioner is that the temperature could be too uniform within your home, or too uneven hot and cold temperatures in particular spots! If this is something that you can relate to, dampers may just be exactly what you need, and a damper is a plate or valve that acts care about a faucet for your home’s ductwork.
- It regulates the airflow that comes into a room, including completely shutting it off! Dampers can be installed by removing a part of existing ductwork and replacing it with the damper unit, modern dampers can be fitted with sensors that automatically and independently regulate a room’s temperature.
Dampers let you customize individual room hot and cold temperatures while keeping the central Heating and A/C component at a single setting… This is especially useful if you’re residing with elderly family members, who may assume too cold (or too warm) in hot and cold temperatures that you are comfortable in. Dampers allow a room’s renter to adjust the room temperature to their liking without affecting the rest of the house; Comfortable hot and cold temperatures have some actual health benefits for the elderly, so this is an essential piece of equipment if you’re planning to age in locale. Another more immediate benefit of having dampers in your Heating and A/C system is the potential savings. A centralized heating and air conditioner uses much less energy compared to individual window-mounted or cut genre units per room, however spare rooms or other areas that require little or no cooling can simply be closed off by completely closing the dampers. Modern dampers cost much less than individual Heating and A/C units, come in several sizes, and can be hastily installed. A NATE-certified business can even make recommendations as to what kind of dampers are best for your existing ductwork.
