Save Money and Energy by Installing a Zoning System in Your Home

A traditional HVAC system employs one thermostat to create uniform temperatures throughout your home. This is not always efficient, considering some rooms and floors are rarely used or are more exposed to weather elements than the others. A home HVAC zoning system can heat and cool different areas of your home independently. Here are the benefits you’ll reap by installing the system in your home.

Control

A system with just one thermostat to control the heating and cooling of your entire home gives you little control. On the contrary, system zoning employs multiple thermostats that are wired to a main control panel. Your home is divided into different zones, each zone having its own thermostat. You can set each thermostat at a different temperature. Therefore, you have complete control over the indoor environment in your home.

Comfort

Most likely, your family members have different temperature preferences. With a traditional system, it’s impossible for one member to change the temperature of one room without affecting the comfort needs of the other members. With a zoning system, they can customize an area to their temperature preference without affecting the rest of the house.

Energy Efficiency

Your home office, bedroom, upstairs rooms and other seldom-used rooms don’t need to be constantly heated or cooled. Through system zoning, you can constantly heat or cool high-activity areas such as the family room while only heating or cooling the seldom-used areas when necessary. The energy saved by not heating or cooling the whole house can significantly reduce your utility bills.

Less Wear and Tear

A zoned system will heat or cool the zones in your home on an as-needed basis. As a result, your HVAC system won’t have to always circulate air throughout your home. It will get less of a workout and suffer less wear and tear.

By addressing the temperature needs of different rooms in your house independently, a zoning system saves you energy and money. For more information on zoning systems, please contact us at C.R. Wolfe Heating & Air Conditioning. We’ve been proudly serving the Middletown area since 1945.
