If it’s difficult to achieve comfortable temperatures from one room to another in your household, or to satisfy everyone's preferences at the same time, consider upgrading to a zoning system. You’ll get a leg up on your energy bills, indoor climate control and perhaps find some peace of mind by eliminating squabbles over thermostat settings.
How Zoning Systems Work
A zoning system is an add-on feature to the ductwork consisting of motorized duct dampers, a programmable thermostat in each zone (one or more rooms) and a centralized control panel. Each thermostat monitors temperatures in its respective zone, and signals the duct doors to open or close as needed to reach and maintain the programmed temperature.
Why Zone Your Home?
Upgrading to a zoning system affords homeowners the luxury to control temperatures, individual comfort preferences and energy usage throughout the home any time of day. Some of the common criteria and situations where a zoning system makes good energy-saving sense include, but are not limited to, the following:
- There are guest rooms and other areas which are seldom used.
- The home has multiple floors of living space.
- Different zones of the home are used at different times of the day (e.g. bedrooms are located upstairs, a family room downstairs or in the basement, and perhaps a home office).
- Retrofitted spaces or room additions require independent heating and cooling.
- Expansive windows, tree shading and sun orientation create temperature fluctuations at different times during the day.
The first step for upgrading to a zoning system is to contact an experienced HVAC contractor that will take the time to correctly evaluate your home's design, heat gain/loss properties, occupant energy-usage habits and many more calculations and statistics. This will all be done according to industry protocol using Manual J from the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
