Simply a point of information request...no emergency!

...It could be closed off registers in parts of the home. They all need to be open in our types of homes...
...Yep, all registers should remain open at all times. The ducts are made of thin aluminum and smaller than conventional housing and the change in static pressure could cause problems.
That is just the main reason...
The above two posts (by Robert and HVAC) left me very curious as to reasons for those statements.
I'm not denying the truthfulness , just curious as to what problems that "closing, or even partially closing" the registers in certain parts of our homes could result.
I have never heard of recommendations like these before and have had various rooms closed down or heat reduced by partially closing registers for years !!!
Makes one wonder why there are registers in the floor vents at all.....why not just a grill covering the outlets?
Robert , or Hvac, ....could both or either of you expound on your statements?
(by the way...after reading your comments...I did go open all registers!)
Thanks...
