The Benefits of Zoned Heating and Cooling

In a perfect world, every room in your house would be evenly heated and cooled throughout the year. The amount of direct sunlight or shadows a room receives, how far an area is from your central HVAC unit, and other factors can all have an effect on the temperature in different areas. When the thermostat is turned on, conventional HVAC systems do not take these disparities into account. If you’re tired of being cold in the bedroom while sweating in the kitchen, zoned heating and cooling may be for you.

What Is the Difference Between Zoned Heating and Cooling and a Conventional Configuration?

A traditional HVAC system circulates the same amount of heated or cooled air throughout your home’s duct system. Separate thermostats and mechanical dampers controlled by a master panel determine whether a specific room or area receives heated or cooled air with zonal heating and cooling. Dampers open and close automatically in response to input from thermostats. Separate zoning for each part of your home allows you to keep the kitchen colder when you’re cooking while keeping your children warmer in a basement room. Regardless of the season, everyone in your home will enjoy increased indoor comfort.

What are the Biggest Benefits of Zoned Heating and Cooling?

Some homeowners may find that increased comfort in their home is sufficient. However, implementing a zoned system has so many advantages that you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

• Lower Energy Bills and Carbon Footprint

These days, everyone is concerned about how much everything costs. According to the US Department of Energy, a zoned system can save you up to 30% on energy bills. You won’t have to heat or cool rooms that aren’t in use, lowering your carbon footprint. That benefits both your home and the environment.

•Improved Indoor Air Quality

 Air does not have to travel through your entire home if you use zoning. This decreases the amount of pollen, dust, dirt, mold, and other toxins that a standard system moves through your home. Zoning aids in the prevention of respiratory issues such as asthma, allergies, and eye discomfort.

• Extended Life of Your HVAC System

 Zoning minimizes the load on your HVAC system, requiring it to work less hard to maintain the target temperature. When a mechanical unit does not have to work as hard, it lasts longer, saving you money over time.

• Quiet Operation

Because they have to circulate air through a large space, many central HVAC systems are loud and inconvenient. A zoned system sends heated or cooled air to specific locations at specific times. Since a zone system operates silently in the background, sudden loud and obnoxious noises from the system shutting on and off are gone.

• Convenient and Flexible

 Remote controls operate zoned systems, allowing you to regulate your comfort from anywhere in your home or even wirelessly while you’re gone. Zoning is also adaptable, allowing it to be integrated into an existing system.
