I used it for assisting the mini split heat pump to distribute warm air in the winter & cold air in the hot summer. For an older house that is not quite as a open concept design as it should. By cutting 2 holes through walls fit for that mini electric vent and another one for non power assistance air vent on walls of the rooms where there's a wall blocking airflow from the interior mini split heat pump head . It increases airflow from the mini split to those rooms with walls blocking 🚫 airflow . It worked.
Thank you for your review, will it help with heat coming from the register , especially on the 2nd floor ? We feel heat but not like we feel it in the basement or 1st floor .
Hey, thank you for your comment. Yes, I believe it will help. What this does is take the heat coming from your ventilation and help blow the heat even more into the room. I believe it’s worth trying out. I hope this helps!
None of these reviews do a real test. 1. Take the temp of the room that is either too hot or to cold before installation with your heater/AC running for 2 hours bfore installation of these fan vents. 2. Install the fan vent 3. Turn on the Heater/AC again for two hours and monitor how fast the temperature rises or falls, and show us the delta changes.
@@BillyAiken Billy, I appreciate that you might have followed certain steps, but you didn't share any of that information with us, the viewers. You didn't mention these details anywhere in the video. While you describe the outcome as "phenomenal," it's hard for me to share that view or be swayed by your opinion without understanding the specific changes you experienced. You also mentioned considering installing this product in every room of your house, which is unusual since typically, people would install it only in rooms that have issues with temperature regulation. I'm curious if you actually went ahead with that. In my view, the purpose of reviewing a product like this is to highlight the problem first, and then the solution. You jumped directly to the solution without showing us the problem you're addressing. I hope future videos will provide a more comprehensive overview.
@@chrgeorgeson You’re totally right, I should have mentioned those steps to make the process more legitimate. I’ll definitely take that into consideration on my next videos. I sure appreciate your input. It definitely helps!
@@chrgeorgeson Exactly! You are spot on. It might work. Who knows if it does and if so, how well. What is the before and after velocity of this and the other ducts? Most houses are under ducted, with too much duct restriction for the air handler, and that is hard to solve after the house is built. This MIGHT help a tiny bit in some rooms, without significant negative disruption to the others, depending on how the duct is run and splits, but who knows, as it is not revealed here. Also: A typical air handler moves about 1600 cfm. I suspect that one of these will be lucky to move more than 40cfm more than without it, which is a really small improvement per room.
“Passed all the tests” what tests? Is it actually increasing the cfm output? Did you track outside temperature alongside internal temperature on the same hvac schedule across multiple days with and without to ensure it’s actually making a difference? What difference did it make?
@@BillyAiken oh nice. 🤣 did ya do a video walking through it all I’d love to see the results laid out. If not no biggie but glad ya did that kind of stuff. Haha
@@cardmstr Oh goodness that would be a lot of work, lol. I’ve moved passed doing any videos on products like this and moved on to other types of products such as tech type products.
Can you install this in a ceiling vent . I just installed a new register in my sunroom. Because the space heater was costing too much to run in the winter
Yes you should be able to. You’ll need access to a plug to plug the unit to and you’ll need to screw the unit onto the ceiling, I’ve seen this work great on ceiling vents. Just make sure you have the right size vent.
@@BillyAiken I add a vent off my other register vent from my dining room. I put a 6” x 3” ductwork up through the wall, until I got to attic and ran a 6” flexible duct to my sunroom. Because my use an electric heater in winter and cost so much money to run it. I have solar panels and I don’t really pay for electricity anymore, except in winter when she uses the electric heater. I was hoping this booster vent will pull more airflow into my sunroom
I put an inline fan built directly into the specific 4” duct line it has a separate unit that does the temperature, the big difference in mine and this one is that I’m able to instal it nearest to the furnace where the heat is generated, if you only have it at the tail end of the room like this one your just blowing tepid air around…
Will this work if the vent is in the ceiling? If I have to I will hide the cord I for sure need this in my bedroom it's hot all the time like sona haha
Can you use a booster fan without HVAC installment? Or is it required? I'm quite adaptive without an HVAC and I feel like nobody even cares to ask a question such as mine.
So, you never showed how it actually goes mounted, or works,(?) Did cut a hole in your floor?? Also, if this is the case, then where does the COLD air come from? Or is just to “circulate” the air???
It’s simple, the fans in this booster vent fan stay on generating more heat/air into a to a room and when your HVAC system senses the temp set is reached it turns off saving you energy and your booster fan continues blowing generating additional air. You can also set it to automatically turn off when a specific temp is reached.
There not great its actually blocking airflow better just having a ceiling fan and turn it counter clockwise during the summer and clockwise during the winter

Great review
Thanks, I sure appreciate it!

That’s so strange, those are the exact steps I took when I ran my step.

Can this be mounted and used on the ceiling?
I don't see why not.
“Passed all the tests” what tests? Is it actually increasing the cfm output? Did you track outside temperature alongside internal temperature on the same hvac schedule across multiple days with and without to ensure it’s actually making a difference? What difference did it make?
Did all the above and passed all tests:)

Good tip!
Do they make cordless ones?
Good question! I don't believe so because of the amount of usage these provide, they have to be plugged in.
Will this work if the vent is in the ceiling? If I have to I will hide the cord I for sure need this in my bedroom it's hot all the time like sona haha
Can I mount this over the door. Wanted to install of the garage door to allow cold air entry the garage.
Can I a C Power Male Plug Jack to Bare Wire to power directly instead of plug in to wall socket.
Can this be mounted on place of Baseboard diffuser ? ( air vent near to wall and use that 45 degree air vent )
That’s an interesting concept. As long as there is a place to plug the unit in, I don’t see why not.
Does this really work? But I checked Amazon, they only have 10 x 4 . I need 12 x 4. What is the best vent booster
@@martinmercerjr8615 This is the best I’ve used, but this is only in this size.
Can you use a booster fan without HVAC installment? Or is it required? I'm quite adaptive without an HVAC and I feel like nobody even cares to ask a question such as mine.
Yes, you can simply have the fans running at whatever setting you have set.
Is this for Central AC
This is to boost any air, AC and Heat into that specific room you have one installed.
What about the ac vents that are in the ceiling?
These are designed more for the floor vents. If there is an electrical outlet near where you want the vent, you can make it work.
Hmmmm... Idk.....
So, you never showed how it actually goes mounted, or works,(?) Did cut a hole in your floor?? Also, if this is the case, then where does the COLD air come from? Or is just to “circulate” the air???
Replaces pre-existing duct vents. Should be a drop in replacement for one.
It's just a fan right? How is this saving money over a fan in the room? You didn't show any data that this thing actually works as advertised???
It’s simple, the fans in this booster vent fan stay on generating more heat/air into a to a room and when your HVAC system senses the temp set is reached it turns off saving you energy and your booster fan continues blowing generating additional air. You can also set it to automatically turn off when a specific temp is reached.
I'll pass I don't think those little fans could put anymore CMF out than the blower output of the furnace.
Not the temp of the room, but the temp of the air in the duct .
Just buy a inline booster instead

They're ... hey Gumby, you failed spelling and punctuation.
@@hmdwn Are you hvac tech that wants my mone lol? I got one. I works great. Thanks Billy!
Your just contradicting your furnace with this stupid thing.
It works great for me.
Or u can just get a space heater 🙄🙄🙄😂
Space heaters take 10 times more energy to run and 10 times more dangerous. No thank you! 😮
Not for cooling.
Thank you@@BillyAiken
@@SQTierHog No….Thank you! 😊
This clown doesn't know what he's talking about...🙄🙄🙄😂
waste of money.... LOL
