Every family, whether it is two people or ten people, has different needs.
Those needs are not only in their wants, but also in their need for different temperatures.
Some people like it a lot warmer and others want the house to be cooler. Even between my wife and I, there is a large span when it comes to temperature needs. I like the thermostat to be set at sixty-five all year round, where my wife would prefer seventy-five all year round. When you add three or more others to the household, you have a potential for WWIII, over the thermostat. You may have a basement or attic that you want heated or cooled. You may also have areas that are too hot or too cold. There is one way you can change this. If you call the HVAC company, they may recommend that you have a zoning system installed. Zone control is created when dampers are placed inside the ductwork. These dampers open and close when heat or AC is called for. You get less or more, depending on the demands of the thermostat. There are thermostats in every room so every room has its own comfort. Whether you have a ductless or ducted HVAC system, the multi-zone HVAC system splits your home up into different areas. These areas have their temperature set points and thermostats. There is a dedicated thermostat for each zone. If you have a ductless system, a smart thermostat controls the zones. This gives you better control over every room in your home. You increase your comfort and reduce your energy bills. You can redirect air to those areas of your home that are never warm enough or cool enough without changing the temperature in the entire home.
