    Summer Time Recommendation

    we suggest to shut your main trunk line dampers to the half position what that allows you to do is push more air up to that upper level to create a better balance of the house and make it comfortable that's great for the summer time

    Winter Time Recommendation

    in the winter time if they leave it in this position usually they will find themselves roasting upstairs so the suggestion is is open that damper back up to the open position okay and there is a damper that goes to the top floor the force the more air down to the first level or in the basement and where they're not roasting up on the upper level
