What are the advantages of a zoning system?

April 13, 2018

It’s not odd for homeowners to like different areas of their homes to be cooler or warmer throughout the day. Perhaps you have young children and you want to make sure their rooms are warm in the winter, or maybe you have a rarely used room that you want to keep cooler or warmer.

It might be time to do research on zoning systems. Zoning systems are a great way to enhance your home comfort and possibly lower your energy bills.

A zoning system breaks your house into multiple zones, which means you can adapt the temperature for those different zones for increased comfort. An HVAC zoning system utilizes motorized dampers in the ductwork to control and guide air to those zones to achieve better home comfort.

Who should consider a zoning system? It’s a wonderful solution if you have several family members with different temperature preferences. Homes that have multiple stories or larger floorplans will also benefit from zoning systems, because it may be more difficult to manage the airflow and temps in larger homes.

You can also check out the available technology that lets you adjust these zones from your phone, tablet or computer—in addition to your thermostat. If you are away on a holiday or the temperatures took a turn after you left, you can adjust it even if you aren’t at home!
