Seems perfect for a pantry door. I live in hot, humid climate and pantry gets warm with door closed, esp since it’s next to laundry room, so I’ll be ordering one. Also, for master bath. Thank you!

I think the Return Air Pathway would work better in my case. I have a room upstairs that has no return vent. The supply vent is on the floor right next to the bedroom door. A Return Air Pathway could be installed up high and allow for the hot air to escape easier.

Just cut door short?

If a grill like this or a return air is placed in a room where someone vapes will the grill or return air make it better or worse around the house?

[@kirkhall2099]

horrible. just put a vent above door You noticed he did not show how ugly the door looked after instillation.

[@arealmaintenanceandrepairl1103]

doors are not supposed to be right on the flooring if there were proper gap ages on the door might be good years of paint on the jamb and door will cause this along with no gap on the bottom should be at least 3/4 of an inch

Did you have to cut the door ?

You can lose the pressure, and Mommy/Daddy time all with one nifty vent lol

I was thinking the same thing 😂

What is the benefit 9f having low Pa on the return in that room??

[@tommytamarack1]

Having a properly pressurized room allows it to heat or cool more effectively. It eliminates hot and cold spots within the room. Please call if you would like more info 800-222-5932 M-F Eastern Time or email [e-mail]

[@pamelawilson3370]

@@michellemajako short answer ~ yes. Energy Star guidelines are less than 3. Their guidelines are set to conserve energy. Less energy, less cost running your HVAC system. Or when the return can take out the amount of air that you imagine it would need (cold or hot), to arrive at your thermostat ‘s setting it would be less work for less time. Any of that make sense? @ HVAC man w/ great suggestion on retrofit return replacement. 30 yrs later for me….

So leave the doors closed when A/C is on?

[@dyanahirmiz2159]

If you don’t have reruns in the bedrooms only registers, you must keep doors open.

Sooooo whats the point of all that??

[@ProfessorElectronic]

By creating a return duct on the bottom of your door. You are allowing air to flow in your room to cool it down while at the same time not compromising privacy. For me it is a good solution as I do not us the AC.

@@hyper_tex9834 I can deal with a bit of sound privacy compromise.

Another dishonest way to make money. That door should have an undercut of approx 3/4" to resolve the air pressure imbalance.
