I LIVE IN AN OLDER HOME AND THE AIR CONDITION RETURN VENT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR IN THE HALLWAY. I WANT TO PUT A RUG OVER IT BECAUSE ITS SO UNATTRACTIVE. I HEARD I COULD DO THIS BUT IT HAD TO BE A CERTAIN KIND ON RUG. CAN ANYONE OFFER ADVICE?
My room is Purple what rug...10 pnts?
Answers:    You won't get the flow of nouns in the room to cool or grill the space. However, if you have other vent, you may be OK if the room is not too big. If that is the one and only one, then you will experience a difference within the temperature. Other side effects could be the section could start to freeze if it is on the cooling mode since not enough nouns is circulating.
Try it and monitor the unit's coil, and the obvious one is see if it still cools or heat the space. On the heating side, trade name sure the rug won't catch fire.
Good luck
