Economic gadget: The Vent-Miser

In the winter (and summer) for many people there’s a room that really doesn’t need to be moderated as much.  Actually you might be happier if it received no flow at all most of the time, especially since most people are trying to spend as little money as possible right now.  However, if you keep the vent closed all the time, it’s entirely possible to just forget to open it again.

This invention, the Vent-Miser, makes your life easier and it could help you save money, while still keeping the room at a reasonable temperature.

The vent is meant to be easily installed in place of the old vent.  Then, once installed it can be programmed to open on certain days, and then close again on its own.  It would be especially convenient for a guest room that you don’t often use or need. You could set it up to open the day your relatives or friends arrive, or the day before if they need the room the perfect temp on arrival (plenty of people like this).

They can be purchased on Amazon in different sizes and colors to accommodate your home and vent size.  The Vent-Misers range in price from $22.49 on up to $27, depending on what you need.
