A diagnostic call from a reputable HVAC company is worth the money, in my opinion. They will take air flow measurements and temperature measurements and should be able to pinpoint the problem in 2-3 hours. Either something has gone wrong in your ductwork (closed internal damper or ductwork come loose) or the system was poorly designed and will have to be fixed.

It is a two story house and appears to be well built and in very good condition. However, now that the winter weather has arrived we are having problems with the master bedroom being too cold. All other rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors are warm and comfy. The master bedroom (with master bath and walk in closet) will be ok if the doors are left open, but gets dramatically colder if the bedroom doors are closed. There are several HVAC ducts in the room and also a return air register. So one would expect the room to remain warm when the doors are closed. Part of the master bedroom is above the garage which is insulated and stays much warmer than the outside temp, but is unheated so it is colder than the main house.
How can we figure out where the problem comes from? We would rather not bring in half a dozen contractors, all looking to make money off us. But if we could diagnose what the actual source of the problem might be, we can then fix it or manage the repair costs better.
