Possible Causes

Improperly balanced duct dampers, partially blocked supply ducts, undersized return near Tappan furnace, dirty filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when accessing ducts in attics or crawlspaces.

Steps:

  • Replace the furnace filter to ensure maximum airflow.
  • Check all supply registers to confirm they are open and not blocked by furniture.
  • Locate manual dampers in the ductwork (often with small handles). Adjust them to increase airflow to colder rooms and slightly reduce to warmer rooms.
  • If certain ducts are crushed or disconnected, have them repaired or replaced.
