Possible Causes
Improperly balanced supply dampers, Blocked or undersized return ducts, Leaking ductwork near Thermo Pride furnace plenum, Blower speed not matched to duct design
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power before opening supply plenum or return connections.
- Adjust dampers: Locate manual dampers in branch ducts and partially close those serving overheated rooms to push more air to cooler rooms.
- Check returns: Ensure return grilles are not blocked and filters are clean.
- Inspect ducts near furnace: Look for disconnected or crushed ducts at the supply plenum and return drop.
- Professional balancing: For persistent imbalance, have an HVAC contractor perform a duct balancing and airflow test.
