Airflow Boosters For Room Registers FARM HOME Houses 20-1-35 If you have a room in your house that never seems to be warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer, you'll be interested in this "room register booster" that's designed to automatically pull additional airflow from poorly performing registers, equalizing the room's temperature to that of the more comfortable rooms in your home.
The "Equalizer ", made by Suncourt, Inc., Durant, Iowa, plugs into any 110-volt out-let and can be placed over any 12 by 6-in. (or smaller) floor or wall register. A fan in-side the unit comes on every time the heating or cooling system operates. Because the heated or cooled airflow spends less time in the ductwork, it maintains its temperature as it's pulled into the room, significantly improving the room temperature. A simple on-off thermostat controls the unit.
Sells for about $30. A unit with an adjustable thermostat sells for $40.
Both units operate for less than 3 cents a day and have no heating coils or elements, making them safe to operate even when no one is home, says the company.
For rooms with oversized, angled or ceiling registers, in-line duct fans are available that install directly into the ductwork. You cut an opening in the ductwork, install the fan, and wire it to the furnace blower. The units have no thermostat. They fit 4 - 12-in. dia. round, square, and rectangular ducts and sell for $18 to $40, depending on size.
The company also offers an "EntreeAir" fan that mounts in the corner of any door frame and circulates air from room to room. It can be used to circulate air from fireplaces, woodstoves, and window air conditioners. The unit is screwed into the door frame and has key hole slots on both sides, allowing it to be mounted on either side of the door frame or either corner. It comes with a 10-ft. power cord that has an on-off switch. Cord clips hold the cord secure alongside the door molding. The unit doesn't have a thermostat. Sells for $20 to $24.
