The AC has been fixed. But, for some absurd and unknown reason, the vent in the bedroom puts out ZERO cold air. I don't know why. I tried tracing it back to the vents that ARE putting out codr air, but I don't know where it goes. This is insanely frustrating. The bedroom is the only fucking room not getting any AC, despite the fact that EVERY OTHER ROOM is nice and cool. It's like some cosmic fucking joke. 'Here, HAVE air conditioning! Oooh! Isn't is NICE? That's great, because you're NOT GETTING IT IN THE ROOM YOU SPEND 98% OF YOUR TIME IN!! HAHAHAHA, SUCKERS!'

So it's, like, 10 degrees warmer in the bedroom than it is THREE FEET OUTSIDE IT IN THE KITCHEN. This is absurd. And stupid. I even put one of the fans on to help pull some of the cool air in and it's....really not helping much.

I mean, I'm thankful for the AC to just be working but...c'mon! Cut me a fucking break here.

This house is going to make me want to kill myself.

EDIT: Checked all the dampers. All fucking six of them. The vents that I'm ASSUMING could be along the same route as the one in the bedroom work. All the OTHER vents in the house are putting out cool air. And, unfortunately, I can't jab anything down in the bedroom vent to see if something's blocking it. Ugh.

Most ducting is relatively straight, so if you have a mirror and a flashlight, you can usually check to see if there's a major obstruction.

Also, I know this might sound dumb, but try checking the vent itself to see if there's a second damper inside it designed to balance airflow through the system.

I did check the vent just now. All the dampers are open (I guess?) and I'm getting air flow out of all the other vents in the house. As for a second one, I don't believe so. At least, not where I'm able to access it. And I wouldn't think it would be somewhere I couldn't access. But, y'know, stranger things have happened.

The older vents seem to push out less air than the (presumably) newer ones. But the small one in the bedroom doesn't put out any air, but it's just vaguely cool to the touch and I can't feel any air.

If you can pop the cover off, try and borrow a plumber's snake from someone and root around the ducting with it?
