Do some rooms in your home feel too hot or too cold even when you adjust your thermostat? You may benefit from a zone control system.
Balance Point Heating, Cooling & Plumbing installs HVAC zoning systems that let you set different temperatures for different areas of your home while using your existing HVAC equipment. Zoning directs heating or cooling to the rooms you use most, when you’re using them, working with one or more thermostats to deliver only the comfort each area needs.
Most zone control setups include a few core components: thermostats, a zone control panel, and zone dampers installed in your ductwork. While zoning doesn’t change your HVAC unit’s efficiency rating, it helps you use your heating and cooling more effectively for better comfort and control.
How Does It Work?
A zone control system uses thermostats to connect to a central control panel to open and shut dampers distributed throughout your ductwork, thus blocking or releasing hot or cold air. You set the temperature for each zone via each thermostat, and the zone control system does the rest of the work for you. There are many factors affecting the indoor temperature in your home, such as appliances, higher or cathedral ceilings, shading, wind chill, and cooking. Zoning solves these problems by allowing each zone’s thermostat to individually adjust to the desired heating or cooling level.
What Is a Zone?
A zone can be anything you design it to be: an entire floor of your house, a group of rooms, or just one room.
How Do I Know If I Need a Zone Control System?
Determining if you need a zone control system isn’t too tricky. We at Balance Point Heating, Cooling & Plumbing are happy to help you make that assessment. But to get started, if you can answer yes to one or more of the following conditions in your home, your home is more than likely a candidate. Does your home have:
- More than one level or story?
- A rambling floor plan that extends far beyond your main living space?
- A concrete slab as your foundation?
- Large glass windows?
- Finished rooms in the attic or basement, or rooms over the garage?
- Large open areas?
Answering yes to any of the above home conditions indicates you should call us at 970-345-3361 so one of our experienced technicians can talk with you about your options for a zone control system.
A wonderful characteristic of a zone control is you can begin your home with only one zone and then retrofit the application. Of course, you can always start a new home with a zone control system as well.
