Are Some Rooms Always Too Hot or Too Cold?

You adjust the thermostat, but nothing changes. One room feels like a sauna, another like a walk-in freezer — and no one can agree on the “right” temperature. If this sounds familiar, the problem likely isn’t your heating or cooling system. It’s your airflow.

At Novus Mechanical, we help homeowners in Freehold, Marlboro, and Manalapan fix frustrating comfort issues with professional room-by-room airflow balancing. It’s not about buying a new system — it’s about making your current one work better.

🛠️ What’s Included in Our Airflow Balancing Service:

• ✅ Full system evaluation, including ductwork, vents, and returns

• ✅ Temperature and pressure readings in each room

• ✅ Adjustments to dampers, registers, and duct flow

• ✅ Identification of airflow restrictions or bottlenecks

• ✅ Optional recommendations for duct sealing or optimization

• ✅ Final test and walkthrough to confirm balance and comfort

End result? No more battling the thermostat. Just even comfort, room to room.

😣 Sound Familiar?

We hear these kinds of frustrations all the time:

• “The bedroom is freezing, but the living room is stuffy.”

• “I crank the AC, but it barely reaches the second floor.”

• “My HVAC system runs constantly and still can’t catch up.”

• “Everyone tells me something different — but nothing works.”

• “One company told me to replace the system. The next told me to wait.”

• “I paid for a tune-up, and now it’s worse.”

• “They didn’t explain anything — and then ghosted me.”

That’s why we do things differently. We show up, we test, we explain. Nova — our glowing spirit of comfort — reminds us that HVAC isn’t just about air; it’s about trust, care, and making things feel right again.

🧡 Marlboro Family Finds the Balance

A family in Marlboro called us after struggling through two summers with a blazing hot second floor. Their HVAC was only a few years old, but no matter what they tried — fans, insulation, even keeping blinds shut — the bedrooms stayed uncomfortable. We ran a room-by-room airflow test and discovered several registers were underperforming due to duct layout issues. With some balancing and minor duct tweaks, the change was immediate. “Now we all sleep better — and no more thermostat wars,” the homeowner said.

❓ Room-by-Room Airflow Balancing FAQs

Why isn’t my airflow balanced?

Your ducts may be poorly sized, blocked, or simply not distributing air evenly. Small issues like damper settings or vent placement can throw the whole system off.

How do I know if I need balancing or a repair?

We’ll test the airflow first. If the system is in good shape, balancing usually solves the problem. If there’s a deeper issue, we’ll explain what’s going on.

Can I fix this myself?

You can try adjusting vents, but true balancing requires airflow testing tools and expertise. We’ll make sure everything is calibrated and working together.

How much does airflow balancing cost?

Most visits range from $400–$900 depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the system. We’ll provide a clear quote up front.

Do you offer emergency service?

If you’re experiencing serious HVAC failure or no airflow at all, we’ll do our best to come quickly. Otherwise, airflow balancing is usually scheduled.

Do you guarantee your work?

Absolutely. If your home still feels uneven after we’ve balanced the system, we’ll come back and make it right.
