Low Airflow Problems? Here are 3 Possible Causes
Posted On: October 21, 2017

You may be running your air conditioner or your heating system. Whichever it is, you certainly expect to get a certain amount of airflow when you have your hands up to the vents. When that airflow level drops and the temperature in your home changes, there could be a problem with your HVAC system.


So what could be causing this problem? There may actually be a few reasons. Here are some possibilities:


Dirty Air Filter


The air filter traps dirt and debris that could possibly contaminate your air and even break your air conditioning and heating system. However, if your air filter is already dirty, it could actually do more harm than good. A clogged up filter can also keep the blower fan from drawing in enough air. Because both your heating and air conditioning systems are designed to take in a set airflow, you can expect for a number of issues to occur within your equipment, as well as a drop in airflow levels.


Broken Fan Motor


Your forced air conditioning and heating systems share a blower fan even if what you have separate furnace and air conditioning system. As you know the blower fan is really important if you want to achieve comfort in your home. It might fail over time due to an electrical failure or just because it has been overworked. If you have already changed your air filter and it still does not improve airflow, you should call a professional to check your blower fan.


Duct Leak


Aside from the blower fan, there are other components that are shared by your heating and air conditioning equipment. They share ducts that take on a lot of air over the years. In time, a set of ducts can develop holes. It is estimated that most duct systems lose about 30% of the air that the HVAC system takes in. If you want to improve the way your air conditioning and heating system, pay lower bills, and feel more comfortable in your home, you should schedule a duct cleaning service as soon as possible.
