Keeping this in consideration, what size AC duct do I need?A rule of thumb says ducts should carry 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air for every one ton of cooling. So if you have a two-ton system, you need ductwork that will carry 800 CFM.Additionally, how many registers do I need in a room? AC Registers per Room. Under basic guidelines, HVAC experts recommend at least one AC register or duct per room. But number this isn’t set in stone, as some owners may prefer more than one register for better airflow. People also ask, what is the difference between a register and a vent? Heat registers are vent covers that cover the hole in the wall or floor where the duct enters the room. Louvres, or dampers, are often attached to the back of a heat register. A grille has no damper to control air flow, so air is left to flow freely. Grilles do not have the damper normally found on registers.Can I use a floor register as a wall register?It’s easy to turn decorative floor registers into wall registers in just a few minutes. Attach spring mounted clips onto damper with a screw driver, push into duct work, and you are done! Do not mount on ceiling. Wall Clips can be used on any of the following registers.
