      You shouldn’t. Blocking vents is bad for your blower motor as your constricting the system and putting unwanted wear on the blower motor.

      You can do it. But you may end up damaging your hvac system and wearing out some parts much faster then normal.

        I have two types of vents:

        • floor vents - to send central heat to all the rooms
        • Ceiling vents - to send inside air outside

        I can’t see any problem with closing one of those types of vent

          Again you’re constraining your blower motor by doing so. It’s added wear and tear. It won’t break over night but you will require repairs faster then if you didn’t touch the vents.

          Do want you want. It’s your property. But this is similar to someone constantly leaning on their breaks when they are driving.

            I think you misread my comment. I wasn’t talking about closing vents attached to a blower
