Flair vents do not directly monitor pressure in the HVAC system. However, Flair does have a feature called Back Pressure Protection, which helps to alleviate pressure in the system by opening Smart Vents in inactive rooms.
Back Pressure Protection is designed to prevent excessive pressure buildup in the HVAC system, which can occur when too many vents are closed or when the system is operating at a high capacity. This buildup of pressure can lead to reduced airflow and strain on the system, potentially causing inefficiency and discomfort.
When Back Pressure Protection is active, Flair uses its algorithms to determine the optimal Smart Vent adjustments that will help alleviate the pressure in the system. It takes into account factors such as the number of vents in the system and their current state (open or closed) to make smart adjustments.
During the initial setup process, Flair asks for the total number of vents in your system, including both Smart Vents and any other vents in the system. This information is important for Flair to calculate the appropriate adjustments needed to alleviate pressure.
It’s important to note that while Flair can help alleviate pressure in the HVAC system through Smart Vent adjustments, it does not directly monitor or measure the pressure levels. Instead, it relies on its algorithms and the information provided during setup to make intelligent decisions about vent adjustments.
In my personal experience, I have found Flair’s Back Pressure Protection feature to be effective in maintaining a balanced airflow throughout my home. By opening Smart Vents in inactive rooms, it helps to distribute the airflow more evenly and prevent pressure buildup in the system. This has resulted in improved comfort and energy efficiency in my home.
To summarize, Flair vents do not directly monitor pressure in the HVAC system. However, Flair’s Back Pressure Protection feature uses algorithms and the information provided during setup to make smart adjustments to Smart Vents in order to alleviate pressure in the system. This can help improve comfort and energy efficiency in your home.
