So, the AirTap unit blows cold air out the top which can be ducted where it's needed.  My AirTap is in the basement.  Certainly, in the summer, the AirTap's extra cold/dry air could be ducted to a floor register on the main floor.  In Spring/Fall, it wouldn't hurt either.  In winter, I'd rather it blew outside.

But that got me thinking.  Since the AirTap is in the basement, I could duct the cold air somewhere else...wondering if it's worth it?
1.  Into a new duct that leads to the floor of the pantry - thus keeping the pantry a little extra cool.
2.  Into a new duct to under the kitchen fridge, it would blow directly on the exchanger coils that are under the fridge.
3.  Into a new duct and onto all the warm electronics in the basement...routers, FIOS, etc.
