How To Fix An Air Vent With NO Cold Air Or Heat Coming Out! DIY Tutorial Repair For Beginners!

[@CookieSlinger]

This whole video looks like it was done in space xD Great job and tips as usual!

[@FixThisHouse]

Lol! Exactly bro! It was so low light that my camera couldn’t get clear images 😅. I felt like a moon man with that sack suit on lol

[@postaldee68]

Thanks for posting this. I had a service person out because a couple of vent didn't have any air coming out. He told me my blower was too small and I needed a whole new system. He never went into the attic to check the ducts! I got him out of my house then went to the attic to discover 4 ducts had disconnected. Thank goodness I didn't just accept what that guy said.

[@Forged_Garage]

Thank you for taking the time fixing my vent, you’re very awesome!!!

[@FixThisHouse]

Keep the honey do list coming brotha lol

[@ivanwill]

Nice of you to go above and beyond, by taping everything properly. Nicely done.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you brother! 🙏🏽😊

[@mariavelez788]

Thank you, I'm sure going to save a lot of money as I have the same problem and I'm not scare to go in my craw space ❤️

[@frankmontez6853]

Are you experienced in HVAC duct work? One of my rooms is warm and the vent not letting air out. Is that the most common cause of this ? It’s not the dampener on / off switch? I tried it both ways but it made no difference. Same weak air coming out.

[@michaelharris3296]

That’s how you save a $500 repair bill from a shady HVAC company. Good job and I too hate crawl spaces. Nothing good is ever down there.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you my friend! Yes easy job to do it just takes courage going down the snakes nest! Haha

[@ANewEvilRising]

I've found candy in my crawl space. Never say never

[@Tsnor150]

Nice job.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you!

[@MDN_Moon]

So idk what’s the problem but my vent on my wall close to the ceiling, the heat blows on one side perfectly fine but the other side blows little air, do you know what could be wrong?

[@michellebeaudreau1129]

One side of my house the heat comes out the vent, the other side of my house I get no heat what could be the problem? Thank you in advance.

[@donna1018]

What if the rat made a nest further into that air pipe How do you check for something like that?

[@tru1655]

Put a cat in there.

[@FAADSMG]

Good job bro..🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you my friend! 🙏🏽😊

[@CantankerousDave]

It came loose because ducts are the one place you never use duct tape. It turns brittle and the adhesive fails. I spent a loooong time down in mine slapping foil tape and mastic over everything down there.

[@FixThisHouse]

I agree 💯! 👍🏽😊 I don’t know what the contractor was thinking using duct tape, all of it was brittle like you said and crusted out. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@MissionaryHerny]

My AC unit is running but no water dripping outside and no cool air blowing out of the vents.. please help

[@apocMTL]

Clean your filters

[@Loveeachother5151]

No cold air coming out my ceiling vent what should i do 😢

[@sherriemedellin5575]

So what happened to the air you didn’t show if it was blowing air

[@jaylee9907]

Sherrie it's safe to assume it's blowing air now. It was literally disconnected before he fixed it

[@J-dizzle2021]

If you can afford a new run and easy to get to would be a good thing since mice/ critter droppings have major bacteria in them.it should be removed and at least disinfected at minimum. People have different immune systems and nobody should be smelling that crap (pun intended). That 6 inch line is way too big for that size vent in my state and for most anywhere for the correct amount of air to flow properly. Just FYI. You did what you should have done for your buddy and that's a good thing just pointing out some issues that could be bad. There are calculations for all of these vent sizes and duct sizes. It could be correct but that's probably what they had beside them and didn't want to get a 4" duct. Typical contractors.

[@FixThisHouse]

I will definitely look into the vent sizes thanks for bringing that up! 👍🏽 that is a good point about the disinfecting part. On my house I have 4” tubes running but again like what you said it all depends on airflow how much air your system pushes out. Thank you friend for the advice and tips! 🙏🏽😊

[@J-dizzle2021]

@@FixThisHouse It's all in much love and no criticizing like I have seen some people do which makes no sense. I've been mold certified along with many others and I've very well aware of animal feces and the problems it can bring. I'm also an HVAC certified GC and it seems to be too large but people design things different. Usually a 6 inch could be too large for that under the counter register but either way you did a good job and did it right with that was there and offered good advise. I like your channel as I've become a subscriber in the last week or so. Keep up the good work and be proud of your work. I am and non of us know everything but learn all the time. Cheers to you and I hope you have a great holiday my friend.

[@Forged_Garage]

Good point on getting it disinfected, i will definitely do that.

[@Kirestial]

Didn’t bother watching the whole video because I decided to just go check my unit about a minute into the video. But my lines running from unit were frozen so I just turned off the unit and let them de thaw hope this helps

[@Extra_ordinary88]

It is a ventilation duct, so duct tape kind of makes sense

[@soundsfromYYBY]

America build houses stupid on purpose. So its hard to get to things and see what the problems could be. Force you to bust through walls they charge a lot to fix before u find out what the damn problem could be 😂

[@meyatetana2973]

You said you were alone but I saw a face in the corner watching you tape up stuff who was that?

[@dr662]

I’m scared of spiders, so I’m not sure how I can go under my house 🙁

[@versatilex97]

Where a Hazmat suit and face mask

[@XanderBeckett1]

So glad u took off ur shoes - lots of gross people showing home repair don’t do that

[@timshendo]

Hey man great info. I’m about to start duct cleaning business and could use some tips if you don’t mind. Hit me up so we can talk if you ok with all that

[@nieceypiecey100]

However much you get paid, it’s not enough

[@suskagusip1036]

Hay naku po kala ko yong crawl space ko lng galing planet Mars. This must be a house built in 1521 when Magellan discovered your islands. 😂 Just kidding but honestly new houses don't use this vent anymore. Anyway maraming salamat but that rat dropping that's what the owner is also breathing hope he do duct cleaning next time.

[@6OI78t8n9O]

taking hella long to even get in the house and work on this, im dying of heat stroke
