Improving Airflow to Problem Rooms
There are many ways to to improve the airflow to a problem room. We will cover a few of them in this article. Keep in mind its always best to allow an HVAC technician to come and evaluate your system but dont feel obligated to take their advise at face value. Alot of times they will tell you to upgrage your existing system when in fact you can get by with some very low cost alternatives.
1. If you have rooms that have adequate pressure try dampening those rooms a little to help increase the flow into the other rooms. This in effect is a way of balancing the pressure in your system overall. By dampening this means closing off the register slightly.
2. Evaluate your duct system to see where your points of restriction may be located. Air flows in the path of least restriction. It will find the path of least resistance so any restriction to your airflow will cause negative effects at the register. If your duct has alot of bends and alot of length this could be the source of your problem. Try installing an Inline Duct Fan at a point of restriction like a bend in the duct line.
3. Have your Ducts cleaned. This serves more benefits than just posistive airflow. It also removes allergens and other health hazards that you can really do without.
4. Sometimes contractors have fog in the brain when designing the best way to layout your duct system. In addition to the HVAC study you can also have a contractor evaluate your existing layout and make recommendations on ways to improve your airflow by changing some paths or adding new ones.
