The Best Air Return Grilles

Without an air return, HVAC systems would essentially suffocate.

Everyone knows about the vents that push hot or cold air into the room, but what do those other vents do that are near or on the floor?

In order to push air into a room, the air already in the room needs a place to go. That’s what these additional vents are for. Depending on the system, the air either goes outside or returns to the system to be heated or cooled.

Using an air return grille, along with a filter, is important to keep the air clean going into the HVAC system — thus extending the life of the system and saving money on maintenance and repairs.

Durability

Unless they are mounted on the floor, air return vent covers don’t necessarily see a lot of abuse. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t take it. Built from heavy-duty stamped steel, these covers are hardy yet smooth with no sharp edges.

The smooth, no-scuff powder coat finish is also scratch-resistant and has the look of being recently waxed.

Ease of Cleaning

An easy way to cut down on energy bills and maintenance costs is by using a 1-inch filter with all air return vents. As these filters are constantly accumulating contaminants, they need to be changed regularly.

These air return covers facilitate this by offering easy access. Simply pop off the removable face, change out the filter, and put the face back into place.

Ease of Installation

Installation is a cinch. With pre-drilled screw holes and the included screws, all homeowners need is a screwdriver to install the air return cover.

When choosing a new air return cover, homeowners should not base the size off the old cover, but rather the duct opening. Actual sizes will always be a little larger due to the flange that goes around the edge.

Take a moment to browse the selection here for a fantastic new air return grille that allows unrestricted airflow!
