Some homes are fine having a single thermostat to cool the homes, but many other homes have the challenge of uneven cooling throughout the day because of daytime heat gain or specialized architecture. If you have trouble keeping all the areas of your home in Orlando, FL, cool and comfortable, you may want to consider the installation of a zone control system.
What Is a Zone?
A zone is an area of your home that you designate as a specific zone. Zones can be single rooms, a group of rooms, a floor of your home, etc. Before the installation of your zone control system, you will work with your trained technician in delineating the zones of your home.
How Is a Zone Cooled?
The system is comprised of a series of motorized dampers that are installed into the supply side of your system’s duct work. These dampers are connected to a main control panel. Thermostats are installed into each zone and also connected to the same control panel. Once the system is operational, the control panel opens and closes the dampers to maintain the set temperature in each zone.
What Are the Benefits?
There are a few benefits that a zone control system can offer you and your home:
- Customized cooling – each zone operates independently, allowing you to control the cooling in each zone versus having a single setting for your entire house.
- Better energy efficiency – with a zone control system, you use only the cooling you need because you can turn off the cooling to areas of your home that don’t need it; this helps save energy.
- Less wear on your system – reduced cooling needs mean your AC runs for less time, which reduces the level of wear and tear on the system.
