zone your home

When you first fell in love, you thought your spouse-to-be was perfect. Then you realized your other half prefers the thermostat set 10 degrees warmer than you do. By zoning your home, you can keep togetherness more comfortable and your energy bills under control.

Using a zoned heating and cooling system is like having a separate central air system for separate rooms. It allows a single HVAC unit to provide different levels of heating and cooling for each area, helping keep everyone comfortable regardless of personal preferences. Zoning also allows for different heating and cooling needs in attics, basements or bedrooms.

• A zoning system divides your home into "zones" with a thermostat/sensor in each area.
• You set the thermostat where you want and it controls a damper system in the ductwork.
• The dampers open or close as needed to let in more or less heated or cooled air.

When the zone reaches the preferred temperature, the dampers close to reduce heat flow and save energy. You won't pay to heat empty rooms, or overheat the kitchen to be comfortable in the living room.

Zoning systems are a good choice for multilevel homes with large open areas, vaulted ceilings, a room over the garage, furnished areas in the attic or basement or where vents are shut off to unused rooms.

An HVAC professional can install a zoning system in about one day. Learn more about zoning systems such as the HarmonyIII™ zoning system from Lennox.
