We've had much trouble and expensive repairs with our Suburban furnace - this is the third winter. We didn't want to listen to the warnings of people on this forum and Suburban - "DON'T restrict/close off any of the registers." We hoped we could get away with it because, well, we hated the uneven heat. And others were doing it and they seemed okay. Our latest repair guy, replacing yet another motor and circuit board (?), strongly suggested we fully open all our adjustable floor registers and keep them open! Our tactic now is to use the electric fireplace a little more, use the ceiling fan on low on winter mode to help circulate air, keep the bathroom door(s) and bedroom door open to let the heat out, and use a strategically placed little electric heater when needed. Far from perfect, but it beats the alternative ... we were without our furnace for two weeks in November. I'm sure our furnace runs more than most, living full-time in Canada. Take care, Lorna & Doug
