An HVAC grille by many other names

Registers, grilles, vent covers, returns . . . these are all part of the visible part of your HVAC system—the part that transfers air between the room and the ducting. But which is which? Are they different or all different names for the same thing?

Vent covers is a general term that encompasses all the others. Registers, grilles, and returns are categories of vent covers. 

Registers are covers for vents that push air into the room. They can have louvres that direct the air where you want it to go. Grilles can be used for intake or pushing air into the room. They do not have louvres. Returns are only for air intake. They also do not have louvres.
