Why You’ve Got Little to No Airflow From One Air Vent

So, you turned on your heating and cooling system, and you noticed something strange: one of your rooms isn’t heating or cooling properly.

To your dismay, you noticed that there’s little to no air coming out of the supply air vent opening! You check the other rooms and they’re getting air

just fine. But that one room has you wondering how you can improve your HVAC airflow.

So, what’s wrong with that one room? Once you have verified the vent diffuser is operational and

open, here are a few issues with the ductwork that can cause this frustrating problem.

Both metal sheet ductwork and flexible ductwork can get disconnected at the main duct

connected, between pipe sections, and at the register termination fitting, preventing any hot or cool air from your heating and air conditioning systems from

reaching the rooms in your home.

You’ll need a professional to locate the disconnected duct and seal it so that no air escapes.

Sometimes, other things may cause blockage by covering the vent on the wall (for example, an animal breaks the pipe and builds a nest or dies, your

child's stuffed toy, someone hides something in the floor pipe, etc.). Blocking ventilation openings in furniture is also a common problem.
