Cold weather's approaching, so we're using our furnace at night. We noticed the floor vents are just grates, really, totally open to the ducting, so things can easily fall in. We taped some white register filters to the inside, to catch anything falling through and help stop dust from blowing in. We want to buy some adjustable registers to regulate the hot air flow. The way it is now, the bedroom and bathroom get too warm with the main area staying too cool. (oh, especially the bathroom, man!)
So, question: is there any reason I shouldn't regulate the vents as I please, keeping some closed, or halfway closed, etc? Would the furnace object? I want to totally block off the vent by the back window. It sits directly underneath the sofa. There is another one just a few feet away anyway, right in the middle of the livingroom floor.
Next question: there is a wood grate in the wall above the front closet door. What is this? Does it draw air in for the furnace?
Thanks, guys!
PS I learned from our other trailer that I need to get plastic floor vents - those metal ones are HOT on bare feet!
