Benefits Of HVAC Zoning
HVAC is an acronym for ‘Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning’ which are the three main functions of an AC unit. HVAC systems have traditionally utilized only one thermostat resulting in the home being just one temperature. HVAC zoning systems use multiple thermostats situated throughout the home. The Zoning system utilizes dampers that are placed in the ductwork or close to air vents. The dampers open and close to deploy air to specific rooms in the home and the homeowner can customize the temperature for each individual zone.
Will HVAC Zoning Be Suitable in My Home?
Modern HVAC systems maintain your home’s ideal temperature and humidity level with precision and accuracy. Before making your decision there are many factors to consider before deciding whether or not to upgrade to HVAC Zoning. Here are some of them:
- How many levels is your home?
- Is your home very large?
- Is your home old or new?
- Do your rooms have large windows?
- Is your home open plan?
- Your present HAVC system?
- Is your home accessible or in a remote location?
How Will HVAC Zoning Benefit My Family?
Using HVAC zoning will allow everyone in your home to choose their preferred temperature in the rooms they occupy. So while mom is feeling the heat in the kitchen and wants a cooler temperature, Grandparents who is easily chilled can enjoy a warmer temperature in their bedroom. If some rooms are not being utilized or the kids have gone on summer camp you can turn the AC off in their rooms.
According to the US Department of Energy, an HVAC Zoning system can save you up to 30% on your monthly utility bill. This is a convincing reason to consider using the Zone system because cooling a home can account for an average of around 40% of your monthly utility cost.
Will Installing an HVAC Zoning System Add Value To My Home?
According to realtors, the answer is ‘yes’. A well-maintained HVAC Zone can add 2.5% to 10% to the value of your home at resale.
