Benefits of Zoning
Each room of you house has different heating and cooling
requirements which cannot be achieved with just one thermostat.
Zoning divides the house into areas with similar needs. A separate
thermostat is then used to control each zone. Zoning is an
affordable and efficient solution to a frustrating problem. It
provides total comfort throughout your entire house!
Can Save You $$$$
Not only will Zoning provide you total comfort, it can also
save you $$$$ through energy savings. Zoning allows you to heat or
cool only those rooms being used which can save you up to as much
as 30% off your heating and cooling costs.
How it Works
Zoning divides your home into areas with similar heating and
cooling requirements. A home may be divided into a living area and
a sleeping area or between upstairs and downstairs. Each area or
zone usually is used at different times of the day and has
different heating and cooling needs.
Automatic dampers are placed in the ducts in each zone. Each
zone has it’s own thermostat. The thermostat controls the damper
and the heating and cooling unit provides conditioned air only to
those required zones. Once the correct temperature is achieved in
the zone, the damper closes. Automatic setback thermostats allow
you to program each thermostat to reach different temperatures
during various times of the day. It is that simple!
