Another good way to do it is to actually hire a HVAC individual on and have them come out and just look at the system. But be wary of that. Some of them are not exactly the most brightest bulbs in the world. And they will tell you, oh you have to have them all open at the same time you can’t close them. Without actually looking at the system. I’ve run into that to myself. In my house, I can close, almost half of my vents without any issue, and yet a number of techs have told me I can’t do that. Until I make them go and look at the furnace and count the number of vents and look at the size the vents then they go oh yeah, I guess you can.

Like I said some of them are not very bright. So maybe it might pay to hire on a couple of them to really look it over. Make sure they really look at the central system, blower furnace, etc. and then also look at the vents in the size of the vents.

Yes, it cost some money upfront for them to come out and help you with it, but you can get an idea of to what they’re doing.

The other option is to go down to the library and check out a bunch of books on the subject and try to learn it yourself.
