No matter how you set your thermostat, it always seems like specific areas your homes are always hotter or colder than others. Traditional HVAC systems struggle to provide uniform comfort, and they often fall short. Learn why this happens, and how swapping to a Mitsubishi Electric® multi-zone system can resolve this problem and keep everyone in your home comfortable. 

Why Are Some Rooms Hotter or Colder?

A standard HVAC system has to be perfectly balanced in order to provide the same temperature at the exact same time to all the rooms in your house. An unbalance can be triggered by numerous factors, including the following:

• Multiple Floors: It’s often hard to evenly heat and cool a home with multiple levels. Rising heat will naturally make the upper rooms hotter than below
• Uninsulated Ducts: When cool air flows through long areas of uninsulated ductwork, such as through your attic, it gets warmer. This causes the air to blow out hotter through the vents that are further away from the system.
• Room Purpose: How a room is used will impact the temperature. For example, a home office that uses a computer and other electrical devices will naturally be warmer than other points around the property, and it will be harder to cool. 
• Room Location: The number, size, and location of windows in a room will affect its temperature. A sunroom, for instance, has ample windows and will receive a lot of direct sunlight, which will make it warmer than others.

What Is a Multi-Zone Cooling & System?

A Mitsubishi Electric® multi-zone system can help you combat uneven heating and cooling throughout your home. These units, which consist of one outside unit and one or more indoor units, do not rely on ductwork. Instead, the interior units are placed in strategic zones throughout the dwelling to provide individual comfort control. 

This unique design of the Mitsubishi Electric® multi-zone system allows your family to heat or cool the zones they’re using to match their desired temperatures. This makes these perfect for rooms that are difficult to keep warm or cool, or those that are not connected to your current HVAC system (like garages or workshops). These units also prevent any energy waste from heating or cooling rooms where no one is present.
