Hi and welcome to SaveOnEnergy.com's Fact or Fiction. Today we're going to take a closer
look at whether or not closing your air conditioning vents can really save you money. Most people
believe that closing vents in unused rooms keeps your air conditioning unit from working as hard.
It is fiction that closing your air conditioning vents will save you money. Actually,
it could cost you money. Your air conditioning unit generates the same amount of cool air
no matter how many vents you have open. When you shut off air flow to a room, you create
unnecessary pressure in your system, which can cause leaks. In more severe cases, closing
vents can even damage your system to the point that it needs to be repaired. So there you
have it. Join us next time on Fact or Fiction to examine whether sleep mode is just as good
as shutting down your computer.
