An example of how air transfer kit work

An air transfer kit is designed to take warm or cold air from one area to another. The typical design for an air transfer kit would be.

We can cut a hole in the ceiling and place an ducted air conditioning vent in that hole.  We can therefore extract that warm air to other parts of our home. through flexible ducting using an inline fan to other rooms in our home .Generally these rooms would be bed rooms used for sleeping.
