High Static Pressure – Your System Can’t Breathe

High static pressure is like high blood pressure for your HVAC system. It makes every component work harder just to move air.
Chatterbox continuously measures this pressure across the duct system. When it rises above normal, we alert the homeowner that airflow is restricted — whether from dirty filters, closed vents, or blocked coils.
Left unchecked, high static pressure can double the strain on your blower motor and cause noisy airflow. A simple fix, like cleaning ducts or opening vents, keeps performance healthy.
