Reduced volume of cool or heated air emanating from an air conditioning system is a common issue. This diminished output signifies that the system is not effectively delivering the conditioned air to the intended space. For example, instead of a strong, consistent stream of air from the vents, there might be a weak, inconsistent puff, or barely any airflow at all.
Adequate delivery of conditioned air is crucial for maintaining thermal comfort and indoor air quality. A system functioning at its designed airflow rate ensures even temperature distribution, prevents stagnant air pockets, and facilitates efficient removal of pollutants and humidity. Historically, inadequate airflow has been a persistent challenge in HVAC design and maintenance, often leading to discomfort, higher energy bills, and even health problems related to poor air quality.
