Possible Causes
Improperly balanced duct dampers, Blocked or crushed ducts, Undersized branch ducts, Leaky ducts in attic or crawlspace
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use caution when accessing attics or crawlspaces.
Steps:
- Check registers: Ensure supply registers in cold rooms are fully open and not blocked.
- Inspect accessible ducts: Look for disconnected, crushed, or kinked flex ducts and repair or replace as needed.
- Adjust dampers: If manual dampers are present on duct branches, partially close dampers to warmer rooms and open to colder rooms to balance airflow.
For persistent imbalance, a professional should perform a duct design and airflow analysis.
