Old Air heat to floor?

I'm looking at replacing my 27 year old V/A system with a new Old Air system. Using their electronic control panel, it looks like heat can be directed to the dash or defrost vents, but not to the floor. I read somewhere years ago about how to do it, but I've slept since then.

For those of you with an Old Air system, how do you direct hot air to the floor?

They have a 10% discount for on-line orders placed today (Black Friday), so I want to take advantage of that. But they are closed until Monday, so I can't get my question answered until then.



Thanks.

Just found the answer in a thread I started 3 years ago! So, that's another "old guy moment" for me!

It's happened to me before. I search for a question I have, and I find I posted the answer years before.

Re: Old Air heat to floor?

So, is there a way? I have an Old air and that is my only complaint about the system is that it doesn't have floor vents.
