Decreased Air Flow from HVAC Vent
One of the most common reasons for a lack of airflow is due to a filter that is dirty or also clogged with debris and dust. With the dirty and clogged filter, this means that your unit is working harder to push out warm air into your home. To avoid this problem, clean out your filters regularly. This should be done every three months or so. In addition, make sure your registers are fully open if you are suddenly having airflow issues.Frozen Pipes
If your initial furnace installation process did not involve properly insulating exposed or outside pipes that connect to your system, you could end up with freezing issues when the temperature outside gets colder. This is a problem that can be remedied by placing foam insulation that is secured with duct tape around exposed pipes or lines.Uneven HVAC System Heating
