I recently discovered that my HVAC's upstairs vent on/off lever had been inadvertently closed off to the 2nd floor, and it was chilly up there even when the downstairs was sweltering. That's even with functioning returns (but not registers) upstairs; I think you really need to push and pull the air to places it needs to be. | |

| Nov 30, 2022 at 19:58 | comment | added | DIY75 | Nope, it is actually any AC with compressor that can be run in reverse mode (cooling or heating). Ductless is a window mount AC that can cool or heat without ducts (but for one room at the time). The Split AC, has the compressor outside that sends cooling or heating liquid to the heat exchanger in the home that has a fan to distribute the cold or hot true the ducts. | |
