Baseboard Vent for Older House

KathyT | Posted in General Questions on

Hello, I live in an older home with my heating ducts coming out of the walls in several rooms. I was told I don’t have the right supply covers on the walls and baseboards which is one reason the rooms are not getting enough heat. Which kind of vent/diffuser cover should I get? The size is unusual as well: 15 in by 12 in

    That size is typical in older homes that had a gravity heating system.

    Thank you for your reply. I will see if I can find a modern version of a gravity baseboard register.
