Tools and Hardware Reviews of Heating & Air Conditioning Booster
Customer Review: it works for me
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.Customer Review: Works Well! Increases AC/Heat efficiency!
Summary: 5 Stars
During the summer months, the upstairs rooms in our house are considerably warmer than the ground level and basement. Using the Suncourt 'Register Booster' in combination with opening/closing certain registers, has helped us achieve a more balanced and uniform cooling and heating between all levels of our home. This is truly a great product that costs pennies a day to run, and that gives you a more than ample return in increased comfort level and even a bit of savings on your monthly bill. I have 2 upstairs, and they are a godsend.Customer Review: Works great when you know your problem

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct - really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.Customer Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 2 Stars
Cons:
-First of all, it is too loud. You certainly do not want this in your bedroom.
-It does not look appealing at all. It looks like a huge brick on top of your register. I saw another product that is flushed on the floor, looks much better and yet even more expensive. (I can not review it as I do not own it).
-Cheap plastic and construction.
-The difference in temperature is almost negligible
-Expensive
-You need to have a power outlet close to your register
Pros:
Customer Review: Works but not that great

We bought this for our son who recently moved into his first apartment in college. The appartment is air conditioned but his room is on the second floor of the unit, and the vent in his room had very low air flow. He reported that the product worked but did not significantly lower the temperature of his room. Given the price, I would say it was worth it. We will see if it is effective this coming winter, although the layout of his unit minimizes the significance of his vent with respect to heating.
