I would like to disconnect/bypass 1 central ac register in a small bedroom in the upstairs of my 2 floor home.
The system is about 24 years old and has 2 returns, 1 on each floor. I thought about just closing the particular room register down by adjusting the lever but I understand that can tax the system.
We prefer to have the room simply use a window ac unit when it is needed. The main reason we are doing this is because the person that sleeps in the room vapes and this has been causing a lot of family tension when the odors are transferred on some days to other rooms. We have tried various other measures (air cleaners, opening windows, fans, etc.). While they help there are still days like today when it is still a problem for some reason especially during the warmer seasons when the central ac system is on.
So I was wondering how expensive a modification like this might be? Would it in any way damage the system? Can it be a temporary change?
Thank you
