Possible Causes

Improper duct balancing, Closed or undersized registers, Dirty filter, Blower speed not optimized

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting blower speed on the control board.

Steps:

  • Ensure all supply registers and returns are open; avoid closing too many registers, which can affect furnace operation.
  • Replace the air filter.
  • Partially close registers in overheated rooms to push more air to colder rooms, but do not close more than 20–30% of total registers.
  • A technician can adjust blower speed taps or ECM profiles on the CTC control board and evaluate duct design for better balance.
