Zoned HVAC

So how exactly does a zoned HVAC system divide your home into different temperature zones? Each zone is equipped with its own thermostat that is connected to a central control panel, which communicates with the HVAC system to regulate temperature and airflow. Dampers are installed inside your home’s ductwork which can be opened and closed. For example, if you want to lower the temperature during the winter in a room you aren’t using anymore, you can close the damper to prevent heat from entering that area.

Zoned HVAC systems can be installed as part of a brand-new heating and cooling system or can be integrated into your current system.

Installing a zoned heating and cooling system in your Augusta, GA home can offer numerous benefits, including:

Reduced Energy Bills

As we previously mentioned, most HVAC systems heat and cool the entire home to the same temperature. But if you’re not using certain rooms in your home, this can be a waste of energy. Lowering or raising the temperature in those rooms, depending on the season, can save you a significant amount on your monthly energy bills.

Increased Comfort

Improved comfort is another popular reason to have a zoned HVAC system installed. Let’s face it, having the same temperature throughout your home can lead to family arguments. If you prefer your bedroom at 66 degrees at night while your son likes it at 70, you can both win with the installation of a zoned HVAC system.

Longer Equipment Lifespan

When you’re not heating and cooling areas of your home that are unoccupied, your HVAC system won’t run as often. Aside from saving on energy costs, this will also reduce system wear and tear and increase the lifespan of your HVAC system.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

By controlling the amount of filtered air that comes into each room, you can help cut down on indoor pollutants and allergens that can negatively affect your air quality, which is especially beneficial for those who suffer from asthma, allergies, or other respiratory illnesses. Zoned HVAC systems also allow for the use of individual air filters in each zone.

If you live in a smaller home or are content with how your traditional HVAC system is heating and cooling it, then a zoned HVAC system might not be for you. However, larger homes often have rooms that are rarely used or areas that are difficult to keep comfortable, making a zoned HVAC system an ideal option. Some common applications for zoned heating and cooling systems include:

• Basement or attic living spaces that require less heating and cooling
• Cathedral ceilings
• Bonus rooms over garages
• Multiple-story homes
• Sunrooms or four-season rooms
• Rooms with large windows
• Homes with multiple wings
