Possible Causes
Improperly adjusted dampers, Blocked or undersized ducts, Dirty filter restricting airflow, Blower speed not optimized
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before reaching into duct openings.
Steps:
- Check registers: Open registers in cold rooms fully and partially close registers in overly warm rooms.
- Inspect dampers: If there are manual dampers on branch ducts, adjust them to balance airflow.
- Replace filter: Ensure the filter is clean to maximize airflow.
Note: Persistent imbalance may require duct modifications by an HVAC contractor.
