Residential Zoning Systems
The guaranteed way to solve "too hot" and "too cold" problems
Imagine if every time you turned on a light switch, every electrical device in your home came on or if every time you went to wash your hands every faucet, shower, tub and toilet opened up. That would be crazy! So why is it that when you need heating in one room the entire house heats up? Now you can zone your heating and cooling so that you don't have to heat or cool your entire home when you don't need to.
Our home zoning system is specially designed to allow your entire family to be comfortable, regardless of where they are in your home. Now you can divide your home's ductwork into specific zones that can be controlled independently, whether heating or cooling. Imagine the bedrooms on one zone, the family room on another, and the kitchen on a third. Even better yet, you can finally control that hard to heat and cool addition for which you paid a fortune.
Factors that contribute to uncomfortable or uneven cooling and heating in a home include the home's design, heat gain/loss through air leaks and insulation deficiencies, air pressure imbalances and more. These are some situations where a zoning system should prove beneficial in a home:
- Room additions
- Retrofitted rooms (e.g. attic and basement)
- Two or more levels of living space
- Sprawling single-level home
- Areas with expansive windows
- Lofts and vaulted ceilings
- Solariums
- Home offices and media rooms
- Infrequently used rooms or areas
Upgrading and new construction
If you're upgrading your cooling/heating system or undertaking new construction, this is an ideal time to install a zoning system. We can use the calculations on heat gain/loss, which likely were performed to size the new heating/cooling system and ductwork, to help configure efficient zoning. This,will reduce the load placed on the cooling/heating system for greater energy savings, reduced wear and extended life span.
Other factors are considered, too, such as possible home efficiency upgrades, energy-usage habits, number of occupants, hours the home is occupied and more.
