Adjusting Vents For Heat Pump
Posted On: August 5, 2023
Our heat pump blows a lot more air than our old gas furnace.
Overall this is great and we actually find heating is better and cooling is a whole new experience.
That said our basement is a refrigerator, main floor is good, and upper floor while no longer cooking, is still a bit warm.
I know our vents to the upper floor are not great.
It's an old old house and it wasn't designed around modern heating.
That said should I be closing some vents in the house to drive more air to the upstairs or does that actually work against me.
I had one contractor in the house that said given how much air can be pushed, all vents should be open, because the system faces less resistance and will actually blow more air upstairs.
Logic says if you close some outputs, more pressure will flow to the others.
Basically i'm looking for the best way to tune the heating/cooling of the house through the vents.
Question from user smilinfool at heatpumps at reddit.
Answer:
Theres tons of conflicting information on closing vents and overpressure.
Ive heard qualified hvac people say completely contradictory things on the topic.
I think its safe to say that 90% of people with an opinion on the topic are just repeating something they heard somewhere else without knowing the underlying data.
Theres a couple of potential solutions Im aware of:.
Look at setting up zoning.
This could get expensive if your ducts arent set up for it.
Heck, it would probably be expensive even if your ducts are set up for it.
Get some smart vents and related thermostats.
These still get expensive when youre looking at the whole house.
Start with the basement and see if you need more.
Get some vent boosters for your upstairs.
This would probably help narrow the gap of upstairs temperatures, but not eliminate it entirely.

I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.

We required a new HVAC replacement after running the old
system for 18 years.
Dave understood our requirements and gave us a quote that
covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their
excellent work. Recommend this family owned business to
anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.

I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !

Great experience getting an old furnace replaced.
Sales Guy (Dave) was great - honest, responsive, and friendly.
The work itself was done quickly and we are very happy with the outcome, thank you! We recommend TwinTech!

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.
