Possible Causes
Closed or undersized supply registers, Leaking or disconnected ducts, Poor duct design, Blower speed not matched to duct system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps to check:
- Register adjustment: Open registers in cold rooms fully and slightly close registers in overheated rooms to balance airflow.
- Inspect accessible ducts: In basements or attics, look for disconnected or crushed ducts and repair with mastic or UL-181 foil tape.
- Filter and coil: Ensure the filter and evaporator coil are clean to maximize airflow.
For persistent imbalance, a technician can perform a duct analysis and adjust blower speed taps on the Coleman furnace to better match the duct system.
