💨 AC Weak Airflow Correction — Georgetown TX

Georgetown's construction activity — ongoing for the past decade across Wolf Ranch, Morningstar, Stonewall Ranch — puts a heavy particulate load on filters. A filter that's supposed to last 90 days in a clean environment may be fully loaded in 4–6 weeks in an active construction zone. A choked filter restricts return air and starves the blower, dropping airflow across all vents.

Blower motors in Georgetown systems work harder than their specs anticipate — running longer cycles in summer heat means more wear. A motor running at 60–70% output moves significantly less air than rated. Signs: weak airflow at all vents simultaneously, sometimes accompanied by humming or increased system noise.

Flex duct disconnections — common in Georgetown's attic installations — send conditioned air into the attic rather than to living spaces. A single disconnected 8-inch trunk can redirect 20–30% of the system's total airflow. Duct collapses in flex runs are also common when duct is over-bent or improperly supported in new construction.

A coil frozen solid blocks the air path completely. Airflow drops to near-zero across all registers. This is a symptom of underlying issues (low refrigerant, dirty coil, restricted return air). We defrost and identify root cause — not just thaw and leave.
