💨 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.
