I was looking at the heat vents in the island today and noticed that the cabinets directly above the two vents are not closed in. It seems that since heat rises, closing the space in may help force more heat into the room. Has anyone done this?
I see what you're saying, as the heat would come out of the vent and move up into the cabinet, especially since the volocity of the air coming out of there is not great. Its more of a breath than a blow, if you will (at least that's the case in my 32RLS). Yes .. I agree .. some way of closing that gap would not be a bad idea. It certainly won't hurt, and wouldn't take alot of effort.I was looking at the heat vents in the island today and noticed that the cabinets directly above the two vents are not closed in.

Good idea. I wished I would have thought of that when I was down there retaping the ductwork. On my to do list. Also, the way the vent cover is designed restricts air flow. I replaced mine with some black screen.

Great catch, I have been fighting air flow problems with my Valor this gives me another place to fix.
