  • The damper is located above furnace and controls air flow to different parts of your house. 
  • In the summer time, its advised to close the damper off on the main trunk line off about half way to push more air flow to the upper level of your home. 
  • In the winter time, you'll want to open up the damper, so to restrict air flow to the up-stairs, so the upper floor doesn't get too hot.
