What is an HVAC Zoning System?
An HVAC zoning system (also known as “zoned HVAC”) is a heating and cooling system that regulates and redirects air to specified sections of the home using dampers in the ductwork. This enables the establishment of customized temperature zones for enhanced comfort and efficiency across the home.
What Type of Home Can Take Advantage of Zoned HVAC Systems?
A zoned HVAC system is an excellent choice for almost any structure or facility. However, the structures that will achieve the highest outcomes in terms of cost and energy savings are those that include one or more of the following features:
- Open kitchens
- Open layouts and high ceilings
- Basement rooms or basement garages
- Rooms or areas that are not used often
- Multi-level homes
- Large windows
- Sunrooms
- Rooms that are exposed to natural sunlight
