If your kitchen seems stuffy while your bedrooms feel a little drafty, you may be able to resolve these issues by installing a zoned heating and cooling system. Zoned HVAC heating systems and air conditioners operate with multiple temperature sensors and thermostats working in tandem with dampers inside the ducts. This gives homeowners full control over which parts of their homes are heated and cooled throughout the day. Below are a few powerful benefits of zoned heating and cooling, and why you should consider having it installed in your home. 

3 Reasons to Consider Zoned Heating Systems

1. Customize Temperatures

One of the best aspects of zoned heating systems is the opportunity it gives homeowners to tweak the temperature inside their homes. Instead of heating and cooling your entire space, you can choose to heat or cool certain areas of your home, improving comfort. If a certain family member likes their bedroom a little warmer, they will be able to change their room temperature without impacting the rest of the house. 

2. Save Energy

If you are concerned about lowering your heating and air conditioning bill, zoning could be exceptionally helpful. If you go on vacation, you don’t need to pay to have your whole house heated to keep your pet comfortable. Instead, you can turn up the heat on the floor that they frequent. Research has shown that zoned heating systems and air conditioners can save homeowners up to 30% off of their normal heating and cooling bill. To put that number into perspective, if you typically spend $200 a month on heating during the winter, only warming targeted areas of your home could lower your bill to $140. This saves you about $60 a month or $720 a year. 

3. Improve Air Quality 

Adding heating and cooling zones to your home can also improve air quality, since the air may circulate more frequently in targeted zones. For instance, if you have a zone set up in your kitchen area, you could trap cooking fumes and particulates early, helping others in your household to avoid allergens.
