What Should You Know About Getting a Zoned Residential HVAC System?
When the time comes to replace your residential HVAC system, one alternative to consider is a zoned system. Commonly used in homes with multiple floors or with rooms that receive little use, a zoned system will help you stay comfortable and reduce your energy consumption.
How Do Zoned Residential HVAC Systems Work?
A zoned HVAC system uses multiple control units so that each part of the house can have its temperature adjusted individually. These systems can often be retrofitted to a normal HVAC system by installing dampers inside the ductwork. These dampers help control the flow of heated or cooled air.
Each room then has its own control panel for a customizable thermostat operation. Adjusting the settings in each room opens or closes the ductwork dampers to achieve the desired temperature. For example, during the summer, you could keep the kitchen at a cool 72 degrees, while letting an unused sitting room heat up to 78 degrees.
What Are the Benefits of a Zoned HVAC?
With individualized thermostat control settings, you can greatly reduce household energy use. You won’t waste money heating or cooling an unused part of the house. This also reduces how hard your HVAC system has to work. With less wear and tear, your system will last longer, and you’ll have less maintenance and repair expenses to worry about.
A zoned HVAC system also allows each member of the family to enjoy the temperature settings that are most comfortable for them. If the kids like warmer temperatures, you can have their room set at a higher temperature while keeping your own bedroom comfortable and cool. No more thermostat fights!
