Great video, thanks. Mine do have the dampers that I can adjust. One bathroom farthest away from the AC unit never gets warm but now I can adjust and force more air in there.
My daughter continually having ac probs in her Apt so I sent her your link, which is full of valuable info, hoping that she will find answers that maintenance men are baffled about… thank you so much!!!! ❤️
My rooms so much hotter then any otger room in the house, the sun points directly at it all day that may be the problem but its so uncomfy & i keep fighting my dad (he keeps it on 74 year around) & we keep fighting back & forth from 70-72 to 74
If you were my son and kept adjusting the thermostat, we would have issues because if you aren’t helping pay the bill, leave it alone buy a rotating fan for yourself.
I have issues with my 900 square foot condo. There's heat on every room but nothing coming out of the vent on 2 bed rooms. I felt like something is blocking the duct but couldn't trace where. Any tips where I can start?
I have a One level Rancher. Bought new, but the house was always hot and especially one room that the sun hits all day. Had the original A/C company come back out to balance it. What a Big Difference.
I am a building contractor in California. No I'm not one of those crazies that scare the crap out of the normal minded people. Your approach and honesty is commendable. I especially like the statement that you do not know everything about everything but meet those who claim too everyday. LOL yea I meet them too. Your references to possible conditions and solutions is commendable as every situation is different even down to how that customer perceives it to be. Good luck out there. Great video. Found you while getting the This bedroom is Hot warning from my wife. My system is new , High efficiency Attic mounted and ducted system oversized for the home. Hot Wife is great as long as it's not a room temperature issue ! LOL.
I have a room hot in summer super cold on winter u right not matter what's if hvac system is new or old i fix problem my self bcz developers cut corners not installing insulation on exterior attic wall and window wintout proper insulation seal that keeps problems year long
I have one bedroom with this issue. I suspect the insulation and duct work wasn't replaced correctly. It juat seems like there is not the same airflow from that vent as ir was before. The other that has the issue is a relatively large room. When this home was first built they were going to make this room garage, but they decide to make it a den and put an office in front of it. Someone once suggested i have two systems. I don't really find that necessary in a one-story.
I moved into my apt few weeks ago only the living room gets really cold while the bedrooms are hot maintenance told me get window units cuz it’s nothing they can do due to being upstairs
for two story just get a stat with circ. when heating humidity wont be a problem cooling it can be but weigh it out be hot or if you have a stat that can control it circ is the fix
All our vents work great except all of a sudden the vent in the living room just isn’t blowing cold air anymore. So we set the thermostat at 73 and it stays 78/79 in the house ( except for early morning it will reach desired temperature for just a bit ) I don’t understand what is happening here !!!
Hey man I have that problem in my house, sometimes the air will not cool a bedroom but the whole house is cool, and then all of a sudden the bedroom is colder than Alaska. I don’t know why this keeps happening…
My property management sent a tech the second time around and that tech said there's doors to each area of the vents for the rooms. He said he just had to open it. When he opened it the room adjacent to the room not getting adequate air flow blew super hard but the problem room did not. The HVAC system is in the attic just above that room. He claims it was blowing a little better. Ironically my daughter has a dream catcher right above that vent and it's barely blowing still. He wanted to keep the other room vent open and let it get cold but I told him that's not the problem room. He told my mgmt that it was because of a dirty filter. When we change the filter every 3-4 weeks when it says it is supposed to last 3mo. Besides if the filter was the issue for that one room why is the rest of the house ice cold? The first tech told us to close the other vents to help push the air through that one room that didn't work either. And we did and it's still cold everywhere else in the house even closed. Not to mention the thermostat reads 77° and we have it set on 70° ... I understand it's hotter upstairs but the other three rooms upstairs are cold.
I live in virginia. How can i contact you for the issue ? In summer two rooms are always hot ,rest of them is fine. In winter if you turn on heater upper floor is too hot and lowe floor is still cold
I did have a new ac installed last year at the end of the summer. The HVAC guy dropped us from a 5 ton to a 4 ton and installed a new duct to a bedroom that is hot (about 20ft) . Now it seems to take 30-45 min to drop 1°. How likely is it my ducts are oversized now? Thanks, learning a lot from your channel.
Man I have a 2 story home with 2 units , the downstairs unit keeps the temp at 74° all day. The upstairs though reaches 80° all day while set at 74° at night we put it at 72° but doesn't reach that temp till 3 am. An a/c tech came, changed the thermostat, recharged the system for $450 and the problem continues
Hi I have problems my heat in my bedroom is not strong is not enough heat I put camera but I don’t see nothing what I can do is expensive electric heat
I added insulation in the attic, upgraded window screens, and summer curtains, along with a good ceiling fan. This makes a big difference when the room is darkened in the Arizona Heat. Now about to replace my 13 year old Trane with a Goodman 5 ton, 14 Seer. Thank you for your reviews with Goodman!
I bought my brand new home 2003 today 2024 my a c. does not cool my main bedroom. The living room is freezing and the bedroom is hot . 1263 Sq. ft. It's a tiny home.
I got a issue with my hvav central air I we got going on 5he first floor gets ice cold the up stairs doesn't get cold it's always a 6 to 10 degee different and after ac been on for a awhile we get water dripping out
you do not have enough air moving registers get to cold and sweat. raise blower speed ,put fan to the on position (the fan thing will raise humidity some) but will help even things out but you must get more air moving. try to add a return upstairs or somehow blow the heat downstairs
closing dampers will not push more air elsewhere . it works under a static pressure and the ducts will carry what they will and closing some makes no change to other rooms
It definitely adds static pressure. However, I think you’re mistaken. Take a cfm meter to a vent and take a reading. Then close all your other vents and take it again. It will be higher
when I moved into my home all the house was Kool. 11 yrs later only living room is Cold. and air flows lightly in rooms but blasting in the living room. I'm thinking of replacing everything!
I have floor vents in one room (including closet and attached bathroom) that blows heat very weakly. The other vents in the home work great. Being on the top floor, I don't have access to the ducts unless I break open the ceiling of the ground floor. How do I troubleshoot this?
What's up fellow Virginian, I'm from the Northern neck too in Warsaw, I live out here in Phoenix Arizona now I have one room in my house that has trouble keeping up. I've also put blacked out curtains on the windows and it doesn't help. I feel like the air is not pushing enough through the vent there's only one event in the whole entire room
@@NewHVACGuideI had a guy come down here and replace the freon because it had none in the system. So therefore I did not know at the time that I was not getting much air back there in the back room. Ever since I watched this video I had to buy a window unit. It keeps the room cool, not my house it's just a rental
I been hearing some critters scratching on top of my ceiling. Is there any way a mouse, or some other animal ripped open something in the attic? I found a mouse in the house a year ago. Till this day I have no idea how it got in the house. My room gets hot as hell compared to the other rooms. It gets so bad in the summer that I can't even feel the air coming out of the vent.
Are dampers the vents that can open and close? I have a double wide manufactured with sealing vents that open and close. The main bathroom gets super cold but the two bedrooms next to the living room do not cool down as much as the rest of the house
i have two bed room in one side of my hose that one room perfectly gets cool down by my a/c system but other room next to it the same size not getting cold the same on those over 100 days which after noon sun directly shine in to the those rooms. i had dumper installed which help a let bit but cut air from other area which i don't like . but what i found out later on is that after noon when sun directly shine on those bed rooms which makes rooms much hotter then opposite side house the room that not getting cold has stone finishing out side which when you touch stone finishing it is much hotter then room next to it that has wood finishing outside .so stone makes outside wall of that room much hotter then room next to it which causing hotter inside room .
I'm about to watch this video in a few minutes. My issue is that every vent in the house blows super strong except the 2 inside of our bedroom. I'm really hoping that's what you're discussing. I learned how to change the contactor and capacitor after ants cause me to spend $150 individually for 3 years straight lol. Hopefully this is an easy fix too.
I have the same problem did you get yours figured out? I didn’t quite grasp the solution in this video other than to make sure that I have 2 units Which I do and then possibly look for holes in the insulation. I’m interested to know if you found something that made sense for the situation
@@alyssakeller7720 nothing. It’s weird though. Sometimes it blows but it’s not with force. Sometimes we get absolutely nothing. My wife said that it could be the duct work but I’m not paying someone to come look at it lol. We just turn on a fan and roll with it, especially at night
This is the issue in our home we rent. The property management sent two techs out, we noticed the hose in the system was detached. The first tech came out to connect it and said our hoses are bent. Then he came again said we needed more installation and the windows were old. the air still isn't blowing as strongly to that one room even after fixing the bent hose. The second tech came and said there's a door to each vent and the one to that room was closed so he opened it and just very little air started coming through but the other room adjacent to that one was blowing super hard. Had the nerve to tell us one thing but told property management our filters were dirty and needed to be changed. No not the issue because we change these 3mo filters like every 3-4weeks and still no air. We bought a fans for that room and my daughter just deals. But we're wondering what's going to happen in the winter if not resolved.
Have a 2 zone system.. one for each floor. The 2nd floor blower is in the attic (crawl space) which gets hot. I have a ridge vent in the roof but the 2nd floor system never gets cold during the summer. Was going to add an exhaust fan but was told since there’s a roof vent I shouldn’t. I’m going to have a local company come and check it out since I’m replacing my 1st floor system. Any suggestions?
I recommend finding a good contractor local to you and going with what they recommend. Every market is different. So find someone awesome and go from there. Also, I've had customers see a huge improvement in performance and efficiency after installing an attic fan. THEY MAKE SOLAR ONES NOW
i call bullshit, its bad design. they usually put vents in spots that dont reach people. I have a 4 bedroom house and the converted garage is the coldest, the 2 back rooms closest to the unit are warmest, weak ass airflow. thats bad design. they could have put more vents in those rooms.
We always make fun of Goodman's products as low end; however I remember a long time ago like forty years ago I worked on a Janitrol believe it was made in Ohio; this unit was built like a war tank; very strong no short cuts had original reciprocating compressor and all I had to do was replace the start capacitor and relay!
The homeowner called and said all rooms are comfortable except bedroom 1, which is cold in both the winter and summer months. Diagnose the problem and explain to the homeowner what is necessary to correct the problem.
Basics there was not way for air to leave my room causing the vent to barely blow and blow colder than the rest almost like blowing into a balloon it’s insulated well but air still needed to escape so I could get the new cold air that was blowing … I’ve never worked on hvac in my lift but it worked
Great video, thanks. Mine do have the dampers that I can adjust. One bathroom farthest away from the AC unit never gets warm but now I can adjust and force more air in there.

You’re welcome!
Make sure her celling fan is turning the correct direction cause if it's turning the wrong direct then it will blow the cold air up instead of down
i always install a booster fan to come on with the blower motor. works great,
