We all have rooms in our homes that are cooler than any other.
These rooms may not get the best our HVAC system has to offer and they may benefit from the use of a zoning system.
Although most homes today have zone control, some of the older homes do not. Not having zone control can cause a lot of adversity in the home. You have one even temperature throughout the house, which may not agree with the people within the home. You have unsteady temperatures because of lack of airflow. When you have zone control installed, the HVAC technician comes into the house and he installs dampers into the air ducts. There are individual thermostats installed into every room. There may be thermostats into the area like the attic and basement, which may not have very good airflow. Each of these thermostats control what is called a zone. You set the thermostat to the liking of the individual occupying that zone. When the thermostat is set, the baffle either opens or closes to give the proper temperature that is chosen. Conversely, if you have a room that is not in use, or in the case of the attic or basement which is seldom used, you set the thermostat to a temperature so the heating or AC does not run all the time. This is an energy saving method and it saves money on your energy bills. It also saves on fuel that you use for your heating. Zone control is an amazing tool for making your home more comfortable, keeping the family happy, and for saving money on your energy bills.
