Possible Causes

Improperly balanced ductwork, Closed or blocked vents, Leaking ducts, Undersized return in hot rooms

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Normal precautions; work is mainly on ductwork and vents.

Steps:

  • 1. Open and adjust vents: Ensure vents in hot rooms are fully open and not blocked by furniture or rugs. Slightly close vents in over-cooled rooms to redirect airflow.
  • 2. Check returns: Make sure return grilles are not blocked and filters are clean.
  • 3. Inspect accessible ducts: In attic or basement, look for disconnected or crushed ducts feeding problem rooms. Reconnect or straighten as needed.
  • 4. Consider zoning or duct modifications: Persistent imbalance may require professional duct balancing or zoning solutions.
