These products have been designed for venting rooms and closets where heat is either a problem or simply makes the room less comfortable. Often times home theaters with the components installed in the same area end up being warmer than other rooms which usually the opposite is desired - a nice cool theater! The best solution is to vent the warmer air to another part of the house.

Important Consideration

 

It is very important to NEVER vent air out of the home! The only exception are bathroom and kitchen venting as that air is considered undesireable where air that is simply heated by components should be recirculated through the house. HVAC systems are designed to recirculate air and in the summer, warm air from the house is simply reprocessed into cooler air. In the winter, that heated air can be utilized as part of the HVAC system as well.

 

 

When venting out of the home though, that air is replaced by air from either the attic or outside which can be hot, humid, dusty, smelly, etc. It takes more energy for the HVAC to 'condition' that air than air simply heated by components.
