If you have a Pier and Beam home you will have foundation vents, most are designed to have a cover placed over them in the winter. This prevents the cold air from blowing under your house and making the floors cold or let in drafts. I have noticed that some people do not cover theirs and wonder way the floors are so cold or the heating bill is so high. Others would like to cover theirs but cannot find the covers or the bolt is missing to thread the cover on with.
In either case this new product will solve all your foundation vent issues. It is an automatic vent that needs not power to open and close. It uses a Bi metal coil, that opens and closes the vent without electricity. When the temperature reaches 70 Degrees F, the vent is opened fully to provide fresh air intake. When temperature drops to 40 Degrees F, the vent closes to conserve energy and protect pipes. It has a bug screen to keep out wasp, etc and a large attractive screen to keep out rodents. See picture below.
It installs into the wood, metal or brick skirting around the Pier and Beam foundation.
This little 8x16 inch beauty ends the need to install or remove the foundation vent covers and the hassle of remembering where you stored them. Have them installed today and check that twice yearly chore off your list.
