How it works
Installation

Return air vents on exterior walls allow cold air infiltration and heat loss during winter months, creating drafts and increasing heating costs. Large return vent openings present greater energy challenges than supply vents, yet property managers lack proper winterization solutions for these critical HVAC components.

This magnetic return vent cover blocks drafts and heat loss through return air vents. Insulated design for energy efficiency. Universal 4-sizes-in-1 system fits common residential return vent dimensions. Magnetic attachment to steel grilles. Simple winterization solution for apartments, condos, and residential properties with exterior wall return vents.

Return Vent Winterization Energy Management

Return air vents serve different HVAC functions than supply vents—return vents pull air from rooms back into HVAC systems for conditioning. Return vents often locate on exterior walls for architectural convenience, creating direct thermal bridges between unconditioned wall cavities and living spaces. During winter, cold exterior wall air infiltrates through return vent openings causing drafts and heat loss. Large return vent sizes (14×20 to 20×25) create substantial energy waste.

Magnetic return vent covers create insulated barriers over return air vent openings. Insulated foam core blocks cold air infiltration from wall cavities. Universal 4-sizes-in-1 design adjusts to fit four common residential return vent dimensions—property managers stock single product type serving multiple unit configurations.

Winter deployment involves removing return grille, positioning magnetic cover over vent opening, replacing grille over cover. Magnets attach cover securely to steel grille. Spring removal reverses process for air conditioning season when return airflow needed. Reusable design provides multi-year energy savings from single investment.

Simple Magnetic Installation (3 Minutes)

Step 1: Remove Return Air Grille

Unscrew or lift return air grille from wall. Set grille on clean surface.

Step 2: Position Magnetic Cover

Align magnetic cover with return vent opening. Adjust size positioning for vent dimensions (14×20, 16×20, 18×24, or 20×25).

Step 3: Attach Cover with Magnets

Position magnets against return grille steel frame. Magnets hold cover securely without tools or adhesives.

Step 4: Reinstall Return Grille

Replace return air grille over magnetic cover. Screw or clip grille back to wall mounting.

Step 5: Seasonal Removal

Remove cover in spring for cooling season. Clean and store in dry location for next winter.

Installation Time:

2-3 minutes per return vent (property staff or tenant capable)

Tools Required:

Screwdriver (for grille removal only)

Seasonal Deployment:

Install October/November, remove April/May (climate dependent).

Multi-Unit Process:

Deploy building-wide for maximum energy savings. Prioritize exterior wall return vents.

Customer Testimonials

Life-changing for my daughter with asthma. We installed these in her bedroom and playroom, and her nighttime coughing has decreased dramatically. The pediatrician even noticed improvement in her breathing. We now replace filters monthly religiously – it is the best $20/month we spend for her health.

– Jennifer M., Portland, OR (Mother of 8-year-old with asthma)

I cannot believe the difference in dust accumulation. We used to dust furniture near vents twice a week – now maybe once a month. And my seasonal allergies are noticeably better when I am at home. The filter replacement is super easy, takes 30 seconds. Wish I had found these years ago.

– Robert T., Atlanta, GA (Allergy sufferer)

We have two cats and my husband is allergic. These filters in the bedroom have been a marriage-saver! He can actually breathe at night now. We still have the cats (obviously), but the constant sneezing and congestion is gone. The filters definitely catch pet hair – you can see it when you replace them monthly.

– Sandra K., Chicago, IL (Pet owner)

As a property manager, tenants with allergies always complained about air quality. These covers have been perfect – affordable enough to install in multiple units, and the health benefit keeps tenants happy and renewing leases. I stock replacement filters and sell them at cost. Total game-changer for tenant satisfaction.

– Patricia L., Denver, CO (Property Manager, 40 units)

My son has severe dust mite allergies. His allergist recommended covering vents in his bedroom. These filter covers have made such a difference – his morning congestion is almost gone. The investment in monthly filters is nothing compared to what we used to spend on allergy medications.

– Michael S., Phoenix, AZ (Father of child with dust mite allergy)
