Possible Causes

Closed or undersized supply registers, Leaking or disconnected ducts, Blocked return air path, Improperly balanced dampers

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Be cautious when entering attics or crawlspaces to inspect ducts.

Steps:

  • 1. Open all vents: Ensure supply registers in warm rooms are fully open and not blocked by furniture.
  • 2. Check returns: Make sure return grilles are not blocked and doors can close without sealing off return paths.
  • 3. Inspect accessible ducts: Look for disconnected or crushed ducts near the Tempstar air handler.
  • 4. Consider balancing: A technician can adjust dampers and evaluate duct design for better balance.
