Question:

What is a Ceiling Vent?

Answer:

Ceiling vents allow air to pass through the attic and out through vents in the roof. When the cooler kicks on, the ceiling vent is automatically opened by the barometric damper responding to the air pressure change. When the cooler turns off, damper closes automatically.
