Necessary to note supply legs without dampers ?

I usually am not in the habit of making a big deal of a nicely installed furnace system with no dampers installed in the supply 6" runs.

I did an inspection back in August and have a client going bonkers because I didn’t make note the system didn’t have them.
It had louvered registers and allowed ample flow control in my opinion.

I see a multitude of homes with no dampers, and we all know once the ceiling is finished you have zero access anyway.

I feel strongly that people farting with them will actually do more damage to an A coil or Heat exchanger than any good.

It has a weighted make up air damper tied to the return and again playing with the dampers will only complicate a system’s function in the hands of an average homeowner.

I have yet to even see any comments on a template addressing this issue.

what is your opinion ?

codes vary from township and counties so much it’s a PIA!

I always tried to make sure I found them if possible… Roy
Some are covered and hidden I would write not visible .

I’ve never reported on dampers in supply runs UNLESS broken off, etc.

Never known anybody around me that does either.

Dan the only one I comment on is the supply to the crawl, it should have a damper. It is possible to balance the rest in design but not likely a good idea. Do I note when they are not in the supplies to each room?. No way!

Thanks so much gentleman

I was actually second guessing myself.
Now I feel much better having read your replies…
