How to calculate supply air temperature difference
This calculator finds supply air temperature difference by subtracting supply air temperature from room temperature — useful for diagnosing cooling system performance.
How the calculation works
Temperature difference = Room temperature − Supply air temperature.
Example
75°F room temperature with 55°F supply air: 75−55 = 20°F difference.

Pro Tips for Supply Air Temperature Difference
- A properly functioning AC system commonly produces a supply-to-return temperature split in the 15-22°F range, though this varies by system and conditions.
- A difference significantly outside the typical range can indicate low refrigerant, airflow restriction, or other system issues worth having checked.
Common Supply Air Temperature Difference Mistakes to Avoid
- Measuring supply air temperature at a register far from the air handler without accounting for duct heat gain/loss, which can affect the reading compared to measuring closer to the unit.
