Ventilation
Another component to the split-system are ducts and vents distributed throughout your home to distribute air. Depending on the size of each level, you will need to place a specific number of Air Vents to ensure your system is heating and cooling at its maximum potential. If you do not have enough Air Vents, your Condenser Unit will need to run longer to reach your Preferred Temperature and may not succeed. You can ask your local PlumbBros technician to evaluate your home and provide the recommended number of vents for each level!
To keep your sims happy and healthy, air will first be filtered before pushing through the ventilation. Disposable Air Filters can be purchased from the computer and can be replaced via the Outdoor Condenser Unit. If you own the Bust the Dust Kit, the dustiness of your home will affect how often you will need to replace your Air Filter.
Each Air Vent has its own Damper. Closing the damper will prevent air flow and decrease the number of available vents. This can help balance temperature on levels that are getting too hot or cold.
Large buildings can optimize by using more than one condenser but will multiply bills exponentially.
If you own the Industrial Stuff Kit, a modded version of the “Action-Packed Vented Ventilation Duct” is available with PlumbBros functionality. The original EA variant is only décor.
