I understand about the cooling part, this fan will turn on once it hits the temp without the need for the entire hvac to run. But how is it going to help to warm the room during winter?? Withouth the heater turn on, this little fan wont do warm right ?
Got 4 of these for our upstairs rooms for summer. They definitely push more air through! I set my threshold temp for the vent at 70. So at 70 or lower reading in the duct they will kick on speed 10. They seem to run pretty constant though. At 6 watts per unit I don’t think it’s too bad compared to switching my ac to on instead of auto and having the blower run all day.
What temperature do u have yours set to? cause I have my ps4 watching Netflix and it heats up my room but the booster doesn't make my room icy at all its probably 1 or 2 degrees cooler

Filters like that can also be part of the problem as they are more restrictive to air flow. If you use those, maybe add some extra return registers or switch to the cheapest, least restrictive filters AND add more returns like I did.
I installed four of these to fix my home. Two downstairs run in the winter time so my den isn't 55 degrees when the rest of the house is 70. The other two run on ssome third floor rooms in the summer so those aren't 80 when the rest of the house is 74. They're a bit noisy in the summer, because I need them on 9 or 10.
? I have an old ac. I live in an apt. How can I get it cool on here. They won’t give me a new one I barely have it around 75. And it’s so warm in here. And ideas
@@yesla4tesla yeah my parents home is like that. I guess when there is no basement that is how most of the duct work is run. Just FYI Ac infinity sells models that can be installed in the ducts. Though I don't know how well they work.
That sounds like a very simple small cord track fix. Install track and paint it the wall color. That’s what I plan on doing, rather than spending money to try and regulate one room (farthest from HVAC). I’ll take barely noticeable wall track over super hot or cold any day.
I have a ceiling AC/Heat vent that is square shaped and too small for the room. The duct work snakes around a lot in my attic similar to what you described in this video. It’s hot in summer and cold in winter. Would it be possible to install your product in my attic over this room and let it function in conjunction with the existing system without altering the existing system. If so, I guess I would have to have or install a power source in the attic? Does this approach make sense and what are your thoughts. Thank you in advance.
I have floor vents in my house so I just went and bought a new high speed fan every room in my house and put the fan in front of the vents and like magic cold air all the way across the room my house stay cooler longer and the unit running less and when I am away from home I can turn my unit off and let the fans do the work when I am gone for 4 hours or more will the fans quick cooling and shorter time frame and also directional turning the fans anyway you want for instance gratification high speed fans will do the best trick
Wow, that is a great product and my wife and I are going to purchase one for our problem room. Thank you once again for showing us a product we would not have known about and for your professional and honest opinion. KIte Army!!! Yes!!! PS I am going to share this with my many f.b. friends.
Was thinking that propeller thingy would work to keep my cats off the hot heater vents so they don't burn themselves but my vents are to close to the wall. The vents are too hot to the touch. Don't know how to keep my cats off the vents ugh.
Standard 1 inch air filters need to be changed every 30 days and always buy the cheapest air filters because they have the most air flow. If you want to filter smaller particules then get a stand alone air purifier.
It does NOT tell you the temperature of the room. It tells you the temperature of the air from the ac/heater. When you set its temperature, you are telling it what temperature you ac/heater puts out when active. That way it turns off when it detects the heat pump or compressor is off. It does not work like a common thermostat.
That's inaccurate. It is exactly like a thermostat. He even goes through the setup that is exactly like a thermostat. That being said. It's proximity to the vent will cause it to not be accurate as a normal thermostat.
This is just my case now. Just moved into an apartment in Manchester and discovered that the rooms are so cold ❄️ and also the sun 🌞 doesn't even get to the room. Just as if the rooms is backing the Sun 🌞..
What if the register Size is 2x8?! We bought those air taps and they don't fit. Will cutting the floor work? But the duct is very small.....really need suggestions please
I bought some but I’m not quite sure how to use it. It says that the fan comes on if the temp is below the temp set for the ac thing and I just don’t understand 🤦🏼♀️
I agree lol. No matter how many videos I watch or things I read my brain won't register (no pun intended). I have a basement studio apartment and the temperature upstairs is set to 76. If I understand it correctly, I need to set the cooling function to 77 for it to kick on with the heat function turned off. I have my fan component set to 10. But it doesn't kick on and off. It just stays on... So I'm stuck lol.
I'm not endorsing this one way or the other. When AC is on the temperature of the air coming out your vent should be between 50 to 60 degrees so when the device detects the cooler temperature it turns on the fan to try and bring more of it into the room
So I’ve had mine for a fairly small amount of time, and I cannot even use it. If I press the up or down arrow, the Screen displays “LC”, and if I press the menu button, it just turns off the screen. Fans never move and I don have the instruction Manuel. Do you think you can help? Is there a way to reset it?
This is an excellent video! Thank you. I just had my furnace/ac unit replaced and I was told there is a static pressure sensor in the unit since I have a variable speed blower. I'm wondering if this could screw anything up with that. My son always complains he is hot at night and his room is the furthest from the units. Again, well done my friend.
Your static pressure sensor will kick your fan speed back down if you have some vents shut creating too much back pressure. The reason for this is, say you are in high heat mode but several vents are closed and not enough air is flowing through the heat exchanger causing over heating this is a back up safety. The same for cooling not enough air flow and your cooling coils could ice up and stop air flow. If you have enough vents in your home you might be able to shut some vents where not needed and still not trip the static pressure sensor. Zoning might have helped and maybe still could check back with the people that just got paid to fix your problem
Your exactly correct and yes it will be for a negative affect I'm afraid. But I'm just going by what my HVAC installer said and applying what this guy is said.
How about add a wifi phone controlled room air conditioner? Either install a window unit, portable, or get a mini split installed. Whole house central air can't be customized for each room. These options can be set for each room. Have both central air and these room climate control devices in place.
My vents are all alone on the ceiling I'm in Texas I don't think they make any vents that go on the floor or on the bottom unless the house was built in the 60s or seventies
I use ac infinity in my indoor garden they have superior products. Pay to play. They are expensive. Adding inline booster fans at $20 ea. Might be a cheaper alternative and you dont get the noise plus you get to keep your outlets. Imo
Thank you for this. I've seen these but assumed they were junk. Too bad they don't come available for baseboard vents. Only our first floor has floor vents.
Confused about the thermostat. Does the fan came on when the room temperature is set, or the temperature of the air coming through. I feel like the air coming through as the same temperature regardless of what your thermostat is set up.
My house has one of those forced air style heating systems too, but the problem my house has is it only has a single giant vent right in the middle of the fist floor of my house at the bottom of the stairs. And you would need to keep all the doors inside the house open for the heat to get into the rooms. Then you have my bedroom, which yeah, its right next to the giant vent downstairs. But I have computers and other expensive electronics in there and we have one cat that likes chewing on wires and another that likes jumping on top of everything and trashing tables and desks. So I have to keep my door shut all the time, which makes my room ridiculously cold during the winter. We did add another heating vent that comes off the furnace and into my room, but by the time the heat reaches the room, its just not strong enough to come out of the little vent we have in there. The heat just stays inside the vent and never comes out. Would this register booster be good enough to help pull the heat out and into the room?
You should not be using those type of filters…they restrict the air flow too much. Ask any AC person and they will tell you NOT to use these type of filters you are promoting in this video. That filter alone will make a difference in the air flow you have coming out of your ductwork.
I recently installed this. The fan seems to cool the hot air that is coming out of the vent (I have a wood burning stove in the living room) and put a vent and a register in the cold upstairs bedroom. This definitely pulls the air up but the fans seem to cool down the air. Is that normal?
Whenever I watch one of your videos I look at my life and go, it's obviously not comfortable enough yet 😆. Amazing find! I'm a little shocked at how well it performs. But does this mean the HVAC shuts off sooner? Or does this mean you can choose a thermostat setting that's more efficient? My house doesn't have a a multiple sensor thermostat.
@@Kitearmy how are you doing I have no heat in my living room and bed room and my living is 72 on the thermostat,it's freezing in my house I have heat in my living room temporarily but no heat in my bedroom at all,my heat coming on intermittently, the inspector said I have heat, but they said it might be the duct work, I said the same thing,the management doesn't care about fixing the problem properly they know it needs more work,
Buy a k&n home air filter merv 11 lasts forever, you just clean it, I spent 35 bucks on it, and it's already paid for itself. And I'm about to buy this booster FYI, this is gonna make my 122 year old home perfect
thanks for info but only works if i have a plug or willing to have extension cords all over...not for me but other solutions are there that don't require a plug - you're awesome though :)
“You need to change your air filter every 6 months right?” Bro….. I have never seen my parents do anything with any filter….. I’m going to look at it to see if it is even recognizable
this could also work for pellet and wood stoves if you cut a hole in the wall so let's say your kitchen area is the middle of the house and just down the hall way is a room put one of these in the wall and vent it to the bed room
The filters being used are for very heavy filtration like for air purifiers. Most HVAC systems aren't designed to use these because they aren't able to force air through them. The average home most likely doesn't need the filtration he's showing unless it has a HVAC system that's designed for them. The filters he's showing are what's called the MERV category and their use tends to be for hospitals and the like. While having MERV filters in the home would be nice, they require an HVAC system that's designed for their use. This type of filter is very restrictive and could be causing his problem with the rooms that are either too hot or too cold. I tried a similar version of these filters from Scotch that weren't nearly as dense as the Nordic Pure filters that he showed. And they ruined the way my a/c operated resulting in a damp house because the humid air was being blocked by the filters and wasn't able to sufficiently make it to my central a/c unit. As well, it strained the a/c fan, so that it didn't deliver as much air coming out of the ducts. For a/c, the best filters are the angel hair type, as they have a high flow rate and allow your a/c unit to filter out contaminates that pass through them. For heat, I've found the best filters are the next version up from the angel hair type. And adding a humidifier into the system will reduce contaminates from the air and make for a much more comfortable home. Another problem that can cause rooms to be too hot and too cold, is duct work that's misadjusted. All properly designed ductwork has adjustable dampers on each branch allowing for settings between the dampers being fully open to fully closed. Always check the damper adjustments first when a room's temperature is too hot or too cold. The drop-in floor register with the fans that he shows, should always be a last resort. Correct ductwork and correctly adjusted dampers are key before looking into alternatives. You may need a professional to do this, and if so, request a service call to "balance the ducts" or "balance your HVAC system." If you need professional help, I recommend that in advance check any businesses record with the Better Business Bureau. Yes, they still exist and they're free, you don't need to pay for Angie. I started doing that several years back and as a result I've been able to locate the best and most honest businesses near me. www.bbb.org/
@@Kitearmy Wow! That's huge. I just set mine up about an hour ago and I'm testing it now. I'm trying to solve a 4-6 degree difference, so your comment is encouraging. I'll update this thread as soon as I know more.
this is not a sound experiment. you need to do roter rotations via CONTROL which is propeller on airtap on the floor (not under a register), and then you need to subtract out the register effect to see how well it REALLY does
How do you deal with no outlet near by. We can't have an extension cord in the middle of the floor. When is the battery power coming out?
I understand about the cooling part, this fan will turn on once it hits the temp without the need for the entire hvac to run.

What a compliment - make sure you sub and like
Do all modern hvac systems have a filter in the plenum located in the attic? I thought it just has the filter at the intake located inside the house?
Most modern systems have one or the other. Either intake filters, or the big filter that sits in the handler.
Do you think these would help a bedroom that have stuffy stale air in it?
def if you have forced air - just helps push more into the space

Should I be using at the same temp in the ac?
no that is the threshold - set them at different temps
@@Kitearmy awesome thank you
Buy a k&n home air filter merv 11 lasts forever, you just clean it, I spent 35 bucks on it, and it's already paid for itself. And I'm about to buy this booster FYI, this is gonna make my 122 year old home perfect
Nice
Does the wire need to stay when I am using it or does it run on rechargeable batteries? If so, what's the life of each charge?
yes it powers the fans
so if I have the vent on the ceiling, I need a power outlet next to it or run a wire to the outlet whereever it is?
@@maverick6f yep
Do they make a version that works on your recirculation venting?
Yes - I have not tested
What if you put a fan in front of your vent lol
Why not just fun the HVAC fan?
How cold can the ac infinity go up to
remember this does not cool itself - it blows cool air
Do they have any that fit baseboard registers?
don't think so
I bought two of these and they didn't work for us at all. Barely any increase in air flow and they were very noisy.
Waste of money.
thanks for info but only works if i have a plug or willing to have extension cords all over...not for me but other solutions are there that don't require a plug - you're awesome though :)
Have you found a solution? I have the same dilemma.
Excelente video! Thanks
The AC is on. my hallway is cold but my room is hot
do it
Great idea. If only there we’re actually outlets located anywhere near existing registers
my house has them
You can always use an extension cord.
Please see my questions from 1 day ago about forced air vents in a problem room. Much thanks if you can answer,
replied
Thank you- which model would you recommend? The room size is approximately. 150 sq ft.
Does it raise your electric bill?
probably a few cents a month
@@Kitearmy Thank you!
Anyone know where to find booster fans for baseboard registers?
I know they have line boosters - these may work
“You need to change your air filter every 6 months right?”
Bro….. I have never seen my parents do anything with any filter….. I’m going to look at it to see if it is even recognizable
helps clean the air and also will help your AC run better
this could also work for pellet and wood stoves if you cut a hole in the wall so let's say your kitchen area is the middle of the house and just down the hall way is a room put one of these in the wall and vent it to the bed room
True
The filters being used are for very heavy filtration like for air purifiers. Most HVAC systems aren't designed to use these because they aren't able to force air through them. The average home most likely doesn't need the filtration he's showing unless it has a HVAC system that's designed for them. The filters he's showing are what's called the MERV category and their use tends to be for hospitals and the like. While having MERV filters in the home would be nice, they require an HVAC system that's designed for their use. This type of filter is very restrictive and could be causing his problem with the rooms that are either too hot or too cold. I tried a similar version of these filters from Scotch that weren't nearly as dense as the Nordic Pure filters that he showed. And they ruined the way my a/c operated resulting in a damp house because the humid air was being blocked by the filters and wasn't able to sufficiently make it to my central a/c unit. As well, it strained the a/c fan, so that it didn't deliver as much air coming out of the ducts.
For a/c, the best filters are the angel hair type, as they have a high flow rate and allow your a/c unit to filter out contaminates that pass through them.
For heat, I've found the best filters are the next version up from the angel hair type. And adding a humidifier into the system will reduce contaminates from the air and make for a much more comfortable home.
Another problem that can cause rooms to be too hot and too cold, is duct work that's misadjusted. All properly designed ductwork has adjustable dampers on each branch allowing for settings between the dampers being fully open to fully closed. Always check the damper adjustments first when a room's temperature is too hot or too cold.
The drop-in floor register with the fans that he shows, should always be a last resort. Correct ductwork and correctly adjusted dampers are key before looking into alternatives. You may need a professional to do this, and if so, request a service call to "balance the ducts" or "balance your HVAC system."
If you need professional help, I recommend that in advance check any businesses record with the Better Business Bureau. Yes, they still exist and they're free, you don't need to pay for Angie. I started doing that several years back and as a result I've been able to locate the best and most honest businesses near me. www.bbb.org/
How loud is it
it makes some noise - but if you lower the speed it's not an issue
Great review! Thanks for posting this. Out of curiosity, were you able to solve your problem with one Airtap 4 or did you need multiple units?
1 per room fixed the problems - 2 rooms in total
@@Kitearmy During the summer months, how much of a temperature variance do you think there was before you installed the Airtap 4?
@@idealynx I would say about 8-10 degrees
@@Kitearmy Wow! That's huge. I just set mine up about an hour ago and I'm testing it now. I'm trying to solve a 4-6 degree difference, so your comment is encouraging. I'll update this thread as soon as I know more.
@@idealynx it takes a few days to get it right (speed wise and turn on temp). All I can say is that my wife is happy with it.
My only issue with it is the power. I hope there's an option to hard wire.
Sure with a little creativity
I think my problem is ductwork, my room is freezing cold in the winter
Cordless???
nope - has to be plugged in
Those filters that are being used you showed may have a higher Merv rating. Resulting in air restrictions
true
@@Kitearmyno
Add more power of the blower motor such 1/3 hp to 1/2 hp.
It looks like a nice product but the drawback is that it needs to be plugged in. It would very difficult to run power to the ceiling.
yep - battery powered would be good too
You look just like Stuart from Madtv. Is it just me? 😂
Thanks for the help!
Happy to help!
Pretty damn cool 💥💥💥
or hot :)
this is not a sound experiment. you need to do roter rotations via CONTROL which is propeller on airtap on the floor (not under a register), and then you need to subtract out the register effect to see how well it REALLY does
Right- but it does cool the room
That is really great, I actually can use a few of those in my house now! Nice video to show this off
See that is the danger of watching these videos :)
How much does this cost (energy wise)
I wish there was an option for ceiling vents!
I’m actually going to put this on my ceiling. Just gonna run the power cord to an outlet in my attic.
i get that comment a lot
