In most Dayton homes, a single thermostat is responsible for controlling temperatures throughout the entire home. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give you an opportunity to fine-tune portions of your home according to your specific comfort needs. Cooling your entire home just to cool down a certain portion or two is also a recipe for an expensive energy bill, but a zoning system can help.
What Is Zoning?
Zoning systems help homeowners beat the heat without wasting energy or sacrificing comfort in the process. A typical setup involves installing a thermostat on each floor of the home or in each designated zone. By dividing your home into individual zones, you can send conditioned air to zoned areas according to your own personal preferences and room usage.
Benefits of a Zoning System
There are plenty of benefits to having zoning systems in Dayton area homes. You won’t have to worry about wasting energy on unoccupied or rarely used areas, or overcooling other parts of your home just to adequately cool off a specific portion. Zoning systems can also be paired with programmable thermostats for maximum savings and efficiency. All occupants in your home can adjust the thermostat in their zone according to comfort.
The savings add up with a zoning system. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Dayton homeowners can save up to 30 percent on heating and cooling costs.
