Duct question
Can anyone tell me how to install a vent in ductwork?
The house was built in the mid 60's, so the ducts are rather large. We are building bedrooms in the basement & need to cut two more vents before installing drywall on the ceilings.
Any help would be great!

That's an easy one. Call your A/C contractor. This is a D I Y question, which we don't allow. Sorry.

Go out and buy the expensive tools like the ones I have. And its easy.
Of course, those bedrooms are going to be cold, summer and winter, doing it the way your going to do it.

You need a Pro.This requires design skills that not allPros have.
Call around and ask" Can you doa Man.J load calc,Man. S equip selection,and Man.D duct design form my addition?"
Keep dialing until you get 3 yeses.
