I need some advice. My house has the master on the main that is 55 deg when the rest of the house is 68 deg. I live in Atlanta. Who do I call to look at the situation and figure out the best fix.

What type of heat do you have?
Forced air
radiant floor baseboards radiators etc.......
My system is forced air, gas heat. The great room and the master both have cathedral ceilings. There are two heating ducts to the room, but they don't push sufficient heat for the volume.
There are two heating ducts to the room...
is one of them a cold air return?
"there's enough for everyone"
If you have standard adjustable floor grills you can restrict the ones in the other rooms & open to full flow in the rooms that are cooler.
That's the easy diy method.
A good heating contractor can actually balance the rooms with dampers installed in the ducts , but if there not accessible that can be a bit pricey.
For anyone interested....

Your post is in reply to a thread that's pretty old.
You also include a link to a business that's not in the state of the original poster.
Could this be an unpaid ad or do you really have an interest in balanced heating/air and would like to contribute to this forum?
I've taken the liberty of removing your link as I assume this was not an attempt at spam.
thanks.
A _good_ heating contractor or a good weatherization guy.
Just another thought but dont they make a booster fan that goes in the duct to force more air to a particular area.

Chances are pretty good that you have a duct that is disconnected. Seen it many many times. What kind of ductwork? Flex duct is next to useless. Virtually no one installs it correctly. Check on this 1st.
