    What should I check if the vents in rooms don't blow equally?

    I have central heat and air. In the rooms on the north end of my house, negligible air comes out of the vents. As a result, they're too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. What should I check to try and figure out the problem? Is it likely to be something I can fix myself, or do I need to get an HVAC contractor out to investigate and do repairs?

    its most likely an air flow issue, due to the duct design , sometimes this can be assisted by
    having an air balancing done, other times its the poor design of the duct work and a contractor
    needs to decide what can be done.
