Zoning reduces your carbon footprint and extends your HVAC system’s life span because it reduces your usage. Instead of heating and cooling the entire house, you’re focusing on high-traffic areas. This also means fewer repairs. However, you’ll still need to schedule routine maintenance to ensure that your system is working efficiently.
Your new system could also improve your indoor air quality. Traditional HVAC systems circulate air throughout the entire house, carrying allergens and pollutants along. Since zoned systems limit the air to a few spaces, pollutants won’t contaminate your entire residence. As a result, you’ll have fewer allergy symptoms and better sleep and concentration.
We might have to install new ductwork if you want to stick with a traditional HVAC system. You could also zone your house with ductless mini-splits, which adjust the temperature in a single room. A mini-split system has one outdoor unit for the various indoor units and requires no ductwork.
If you prefer to use ducts, we’ll install dampers inside them that open when a zone needs air and then close when it reaches the desired temperature. Zoning systems also come with control panels that collect information from thermostats and adjust the dampers accordingly.
