The problem with air vents is the rest of the house. They have to be big, which makes the room cold, because houses have no draught
Houses were better when we had open fires and draughty doors and windows. You didn't get cold air blowing down the chimney, no hole in the side of the room, yet a steady flow of fresh air

Yer but your heating the sky, you lose a mega amount of heat in an open fire, our house was mighty
cold for 10 years you could see your breath o_O the house had storage heaters which gave off horrible
dry heat plus they were a fortune to run. Not to forget the blow backs doon the lum & then you need to
open the doors & windows cause ye cant see feck all for the black fog. :eek:
Youd be as well painting the walls black.
 
I see loads of folk on social media that have asked for advice on blocking up air vents as rooms are hard to heat and energy is expensive. When advised that the air bricks are there to counter, fires, flues and mould peeps don’t listen and still block off the vents :eek:

Ive got a 12v diesel heater pipe coming through my living room vent, but have floor vents going outside.
