How to Replace a Tile Vent
If you have an old tile vent in your roof, then you may eventually decide to replace it with something better, or simply put on a newer tile vent. The original vent would have had to be cut out of the tile, so you will need to try and find one which is similarly sized and shaped in order to reduce the amount of cutting and shaping of tiles that you will have to do. Replacing a tile vent is not a terribly difficult job if you can get the right kind of vent, but if you have to work on the tiles themselves, this can make it particularly difficult, and you may find that you are not keen on getting the job done. Following some simple rules can help you to complete this task without too much hassle.
Tools and Materials Needed:
* Saw
* New tile vent
* Screwdriver
* Tile cutter
* Caulking
* Chisel
Step 1 - Remove the Old Vent
Remove the old tile vent from its position in the roof. Once this is gone, you will have a nice gap in the roof to work with. Inside the roof, unscrew the vent from its position, and pull inwards. You may need to get a chisel or other implement to pry off any caulking which is holding the tile vent to the attic, but once it is free of caulking and solvents you should have no problems removing it from the hole in your attic.
Step 2 - Cut the Roof to Fit
Check that the new tile vent is the right size for the hole you have made. If not, you will need to enlarge it, or make it smaller. In order to enlarge the hole, you will have to remove more tiles, and cut any that will be half-covering the vent. Use a tile cutter to remove the surplus tiles. If you need to reduce the hole, you can do this with some sheets of plywood. Simply nail them across the excess hole, and caulk around the edge. Leave to dry before you proceed with fitting the new vent.
Step 3 - Add the New Vent
You are now ready to add your new tile vent. Take the vent, and fit it to the hole. You may need to add the external piece from the outside, and then return to the attic to add the internal piece. Push the vent up to the edge of the hole, and make sure that it fits tightly, but not awkwardly, into the hole. Using your screwdriver, screw the vent into place, using wood studs or the beam of the roof to support the nails. You should then add a layer of caulking around the edge of the vent. If you have taken off any of the tiles, replace these, and add a layer of tar around the edge of your new vent to ensure that the roof is waterproof.

Is there a HEPA filter that can be attached to my (incoming) vent cover?
Like something for a dorm room, where the occupant has no control over the furnace. Something that fits either just inside the vent cover or on the outside of it, that filters both dust and allergens, because I want something that will supplement the air purifier so it doesn't blow through filters so fast, and also because I'm very allergy sensitive.
If the supply vent can be removed, you can get a hepa-type filter to fit. You might also try a piece of double-layered silk over the supply vent, or four layers of nylon stocking.
Check with a home store, or contact a heating/air conditioning company in your area. Be vary careful about modifying university property, as they get rather upset about this. I'm surprised that you live in a building modern enough to have forced air rather than a radiator.
