    Unbalanced Heat/Cool
    Hello,

    I have a ranch home with two bedrooms and one bath over a crawl space.

    The other rooms are over a basement.

    These two rooms over the crawl space do not heat or cool to the same degree
    as the rest of the house, lower air volume.

    I have a gas forced air unit with one zone.

    The duct work through the crawl space is flex insulated piping, with 4x10 vents.

    I think the pipe is 6", but not sure, yet.

    I'm wondering if simply increasing the duct work to the next size would increase
    the air enough to solve my problem????

    I have read a little about "Zoning". I've seen motorized valves and also rubber
    type, any suggestions, please

    Thank you

    What you really need to do or have done is a manual D on your home. This will take the guess work out of the equation since guess work by the original contractor got you into the problem to start with.
