Our new house has a weird layout when it comes to the air vents.
They are placed mostly by the doors. I don’t really understand why the general contractors would have done this. Surely an HVAC contractor would have been smarter than to put the air vents next to the doors instead of in the middle of the rooms. I don’t really understand the science behind the best placement of heating and cooling vents, but I do know that it’s definitely not right next to the doors. In our house, the heating and cooling seem to blow right out into the hallways where it doesn’t really seem to matter all that much. It just doesn’t make any sense, if you ask me. I think that whoever built this place should have double checked with an HVAC expert before they finished the layout because our heating and cooling bills are beyond ridiculous. I think that it’s because of the fact that the air vents are placed so weirdly. I mean, when you’re sleeping in the bedrooms at night, the temperature in the bedrooms gets really cold. However, if you step out into the hallway to go to the bathroom or something, the temperature is ten degrees warmer because all of the heating blows right out there into the hallway! It’s just a bad layout all the way around. I wonder sometimes if we should have someone come and give us an estimate on how much it would cost to change the air vents and put them in better spots throughout the house.
