Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature throughout the year can be a challenge. One room may be too warm, while another may be too cool. Or, you might find that you’re paying high energy bills in your efforts to keep the temperature consistent throughout your home. Installing a zoned HVAC system may be the solution, as it offers a number of key benefits to your home and family. 

Why You Should Switch to a Zoned HVAC System 

1. Customize the Temperature

Zoned HVAC systems allow you to set varying temperatures throughout your home. Each zone has its own thermostat, allowing them to be set individually.

Unoccupied rooms are not heated or cooled unnecessarily, while other rooms can be adjusted to preference. This both improves comfort and helps keep costs down since you aren’t using needless energy. 

2. Protect Your System 

Without zoned HVAC, the system has to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the home. When only specific areas are being heated or cooled at any given time, your system can be more efficient, and wear and tear are reduced. Ultimately, this means a longer life for the system, especially when it’s properly maintained. 

3. Save Money 

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, at least 50% of a home’s energy usage comes from heating and cooling.

The agency notes, though, that installing a zoned HVAC system has the potential to reduce heating costs by as much as 30%, especially when combined with programmable thermostats. Investing in an efficient zoned system can significantly reduce your energy consumption, as well as your energy bills.
