Can I use an HVAC air vent deflector with a ceiling or wall-mounted vent?

Typically, HVAC air vent deflectors are designed for use with floor-mounted or baseboard vents rather than ceiling or wall-mounted vents. The purpose of an air vent deflector is to redirect airflow coming from a floor-mounted vent to avoid direct drafts or to direct air towards a specific area in the room.
Ceiling or wall-mounted vents are designed to distribute air throughout the room in a specific pattern and direction. They often have louvers or adjustable vents that allow you to control the direction of airflow. Adding an air vent deflector to a ceiling or wall-mounted vent may interfere with the intended airflow pattern and disrupt the overall performance of the HVAC system.
If you are experiencing discomfort due to direct drafts from a ceiling or wall-mounted vent, it is recommended to explore other options to address the issue. Some possible solutions include adjusting the louver or vent position to redirect airflow, using air diverters designed for ceiling or wall-mounted vents, or consulting with an HVAC professional to evaluate the airflow and make appropriate adjustments.
