The occasion may arise where your HVAC system isn’t doing a good enough job providing comfort throughout your home.

Today, Tyler Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration LLC, your local contractor for water heater repair and AC replacement needs, sheds light on the matter.
About Duct Booster Fans
Duct booster fans are devices that attach to the ductwork of HVAC systems. They’re supposed to increase airflow to the rooms in your home that are further away from the heating and cooling equipment.

Register fans are installed within each room and plug directly into the wall. They’re cheaper to install and have features like a digital thermostat and remote control functionality. Inline booster fans, meanwhile, are installed within the ducts themselves to facilitate airflow from the HVAC system. They’re seen as an alternative to ductwork replacement.
