Weak airflow is one of the biggest comfort complaints we hear in Morris County every summer. The AC may run all day but the rooms never cool down. The fix depends on where the restriction is.

Common causes of weak airflow

  • Dirty or restrictive air filter
  • Closed or blocked return vents
  • Dirty evaporator coil
  • Blower motor or capacitor issues
  • Duct leaks or disconnected ducts in the attic

What you can check first

  • Replace the air filter
  • Open all supply and return vents
  • Make sure nothing is blocking return grilles

If airflow is still weak, the issue is inside the system or ductwork.
