Why is my air working downstairs but not upstairs?
There is a good chance the problem could be with your ductwork. When the ductwork isn’t sealed properly, positive pressure is created. This causes the air to flow to areas of the home that aren’t ideal, such as the attic and crawl spaces, rather than the downstairs and upstairs floors.
Why are my air vents on the floor?
Floor ducts are effective because they deliver heated air at floor level. The heat then rises and continues to warm the rest of the room. Floor vents are typically used in homes where the furnace is in a basement or the ducts (the piping from the furnace) travel through an underground crawlspace.

This can often be part of a standard annual servicing. There should only be two places to look when investigating poor airflow from a forced air heating system. The furnace itself may seem like the obvious culprit, but it is rare for an upgraded furnace to worsen the heat distribution in a home, rather than improve it.
