Supply air vents are found in every home with a forced air heating and cooling system. They are either in the floor, the wall or the ceiling. Ceiling vents are common when the HVAC unit is in an attic space above the ceiling. Sometimes it may become necessary to shut the ceiling vent from your air conditioning unit because the room has cooled off a little too much. Ceiling vents are easily adjusted and the whole process will take just a few minutes.
Instructions
1. Set up a ladder or step stool underneath the ceiling vent so that you can easily reach it.
2. Climb up the ladder or step stool and look at your ceiling vent. It should be rectangular with a sliding adjustment lever or round with an adjustment handle in the middle of the vent.
3. Turn the adjustment handle counterclockwise to close a round ceiling vent. If you have a rectangular vent, slide the adjustment lever to close the vent. The direction varies with each vent. The vent is closed when the louvers obstruct the view inside the vent.
