You may not pay much attention to your air-conditioning vents, but they play a significant role in your HVAC system. They also need proper care and maintenance to keep them working correctly. Here’s more on AC vent covers.
How AC Vent Covers Work
Your home has supply and return vents. Supply vents deliver cooled air from your AC unit to different parts of your home. Return vents allow your air conditioner to pull air back to it for cooling and recirculation.
Each vent has a vent cover that prevents dust and foreign objects from being sucked into the vent and causing damage to HVAC components. Vent covers also optimize airflow and can help you blend the vents with your decor.
Replacing AC Vent Covers
New vent covers can help you cool your house more effectively. Additionally, they help you prevent the accumulation and spread of indoor pollutants in your AC system. There are several factors that may make it necessary to replace your AC vent covers. For instance, your vents may have suffered considerable damage over time, such as significant rust, dents, and broken parts.
You can replace your vent covers with something more decorative to add flair to your space. You could also replace your existing covers during a renovation project to achieve a cleaner and more efficient look. Modern vent covers come with benefits like antimicrobial and self-cleaning features, more streamlined designs, and better-quality dust guards. As a result, you could upgrade your existing AC vent covers to enjoy the latest features and better performance.
If you have wall vents of standard sizes, it’s a good idea to replace them once or twice a year. These covers are easily available and affordable. If your ceiling vent covers have already lasted 15 to 20 years, it’s recommended that you replace them for better HVAC performance and air quality.
When looking to replace vent covers, make sure you get the correct measurements for the duct opening. For more information on AC vent covers, contact Air Assurance. We’ve helped homeowners in the Broken Arrow area meet all their home-comfort needs since 1985.
