Wouldn’t it be nice if you could turn on your heating or cooling system just in the rooms where you need it? Are you air conditioning the entire house – and freezing everyone in the living room — when you just want to cool down the bedrooms? Is that room on the shady side of the house, the one with lots of windows, always cold even while you’re heating the rest of the house? If you experience any of these problems, you should consider a zoning system.
Who needs zone control?
Homes with any of the following characteristics could benefit from zoning systems:
- A complex layout
- More than one story
- High ceilings
- Loft space
- Rooms over the garage
- Rooms in the basement or attic
- Rooms with large or many windows
- A concrete slab sub-floor
- Family members with different temperature preferences
- A finished basement
How does it work?
The key feature of a zoning system is the customized network of several thermostats installed throughout the home, connected to a centralized control panel. Temperature adjustments are made by dampers within your duct system that open or close as needed. These dampers direct warmed or cooled air to the zones that need it. It’s an excellent way to keep the entire house comfortable — and save money and energy — all at the same time.
