Possible Causes

Partially closed dampers, Crushed or leaking ducts, Undersized return duct, Dirty internal filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before opening duct connections.

Steps:

  • Check dampers: Ensure manual dampers in the ductwork are fully open to cold rooms.
  • Inspect accessible ducts: Look for crushed, disconnected, or leaking duct sections and seal with appropriate duct tape or mastic.
  • Clean internal filter: If your Cointra furnace has an internal filter, remove and clean or replace it.

Professional service: A HVAC technician can perform airflow measurements and rebalance the system if needed.
