Closing off air vents in some rooms can temporarily make other rooms cooler, but it can also disrupt the overall airflow and balance of your HVAC system. This may lead to increased pressure in the ducts, causing potential damage to the system and inefficient heating or cooling. It's generally recommended to keep vents open and adjust the thermostat or use fans for better temperature control. For optimal results, consider consulting with an HVAC professional.

Why is swamp cooler spitting out water threw the vents?
A swamp cooler, or evaporative cooler, may spit out water through the vents due to excessive water buildup, often caused by a clogged drainage line or a malfunctioning water pump. If the water supply is set too high, it can also lead to overflow. Additionally, if the cooler is not properly installed or if the pads are saturated beyond their capacity, it may result in water being expelled out of the vents. Regular maintenance and checks can help prevent this issue.

Can you have two thermostats on one furnace?
Yes, but if it is not zoned, you will just overheat the area with the other thermostat. Which ever thermostat is in a cooler area will make the warm area of the house warmer then you want it. If you have adjustable vents, just close down the vents in the warmer part of the house or where the thermostat is, and the cooler parts will get more heat because it will run longer to make the thermostat reach temp. Don't close them all the way, just start at half and see if this works, adj as you need or until you get the results you want. If they are not adj, you can either get them or be creative to block some of the heat coming out. I also believe you would have a duel stage furnace also.
