Abstract
Methods and related systems for detecting inaccurate airflow delivery of an indoor unit of a climate control system are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes operating a fan of the climate control system by transmitting a requested airflow value from a controller of the climate control system to a controller of the fan. Additionally, the method includes collecting estimated airflow values of the indoor fan, and identifying a steady state condition of the climate control system. Further, the method includes determining airflow error values, and issuing at least one of a first alert to a user of the climate control system in response to at least one of the airflow error values being equal to or greater than an alert value, and a second alert to the user in response to each of the airflow error values being less than the alert value.
