What do I do when low airflow blamed on unit before install checked?

Airflow/TAB Impacts From InstallationV136 field-polished — distinct TAB/airflow answer

Check the install before blaming equipment. Low airflow often comes from a blocked branch, kinked flex, closed damper, wrong device, or leakage.

Field checklist

Ask foreman

Before we blame the unit, can I verify the branch/flex/damper/device serving [room] and show you what I find?

Do not

Do not tell TAB or the engineer it is “the unit” before checking your install.

Why it matters

Most field fixes are cheaper before the blame moves upstream. Find the install problem first.
