Air Distribution / Ductwork Imbalance
Uneven cooling between rooms or floors
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Improperly balanced supply dampers, Leaky ducts, Blocked or closed registers, Undersized or poorly designed duct system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use caution when accessing attics or crawlspaces.
- Open registers: Ensure all supply and return registers are fully open and not blocked.
- Adjust dampers: If your Fraser‑Johnston system has manual balancing dampers in the ducts, adjust them to increase airflow to warmer rooms and slightly restrict to cooler rooms.
- Seal ducts: Use mastic or UL-181 foil tape to seal visible duct leaks.
- Professional duct evaluation: For persistent issues, have an HVAC contractor perform a duct design and airflow analysis.
