This can obviously lead to some frustration since it implies your system is using energy for nothing. Not to worry though, there are plenty of ways you can increase the airflow so that your HVAC system functions properly.
Replace Your Air Filter

Therefore, this will allow for more air to flow through your ductwork, giving it a much cleaner path to travel through your vents with ease.”
Improperly-Sized Ductworks
If your ductwork is too small or too big for your home, air won’t be able to travel as easily to your vents. Ductwork that is on the smaller end of the spectrum Will prevent air from flowing properly, while ductwork that is too big will allow air to lose its way before it gets to your vents.
Leaks in Ductwork
Even if your ductwork is the right size, if it has any leaks or cracks, air can escape out of them before it has the chance to get to your vents. For this reason, it’s important to have your ductwork inspected regularly so that leaks can be found and repaired in a timely manner.
