The Utah summer heat can become intense. If your home is not prepared for the upcoming season, it can be detrimental to you enjoying your home. Zoning systems can help provide maximum comfort for the entire home without overworking your HVAC system. This innovative solution will help homes of varying sizes stay comfortable during the summer months.
What Are Zoning Systems?
This heating and cooling system essentially breaks up the home into sections that are each controlled separately. Zoning is something that is installed inside your duct work and gives homeowners more control over the temperature in specific rooms. Zoning heating and cooling is done by dampers that open and close, which help to control the flow of air.
A thermostat is also important to a zoning system. Each area has its own thermostat to help communicate what temperature each room should be. With each section or zone having its own thermostat, the entire HVAC system will be more efficient. When an area has reached its set temperature, the dampers will close and send the air to another part of your home. If an area has heated up and needs more air, that damper opens to allow more air to that zone.
Better Comfort For Every Household Member
Keeping your home at a temperature that everyone loves can be a challenge. Zoning systems help ensure that each room, bathroom, living room, and basement is the preferred temperature. If one person likes it to be cooler, their thermostat can be set lower than the adjacent room. This keeps all in your home happy and comfortable. This can also help those with specific medical issues feel better and help keep personal items in better condition.
Extend The Life Of Your HVAC System
Having a zoning system installed will help extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing air waste. By closing off dampers to specific rooms, the system doesn’t have to strain to keep the entire space at one temperature. Limiting strain on your system will limit the risk of your cooler going out in the heat of a Utah summer.
Improved Flexibility And Control
Many homeowners want more control over their interior climate. Zone heating and cooling systems allow you to cater to more people’s needs and control the temperature down to the degree. With more thermostats and more smart technology being introduced, you can adjust the temperature in a room across the house. Or adjust the temperature in the middle of the night, without the need to walk into another room.
Would My Home Benefit From Zoning Systems?
It may seem challenging to incorporate this technology into an existing home, but zoning systems can be placed in homes of any age or size. For homeowners that are intrigued by the benefits of zoning, work with a professional HVAC company to learn more about what it will cost for your specific homes. Your duct work can handle installing new dampers and control devices when completed by a professional.
If you are building a new home, you should consider the benefits of installing a zoning system during your build. With more technology available, zoning systems can be faster and more efficient than ever.
These types of homes can benefit the most from a zoned cooling system:
- Homes with large windows or with lots of windows
- Homes where the top floor is always warmer than the bottom
- You have rooms you seldom use
- You want additional cooling in a home office, theater room, or home gym
- Homes with high ceilings
- Homes with concrete foundations
- You recently added to your home
- Homes with rooms over the garage
