How a Zoned HVAC System Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a normal winter\u2019s day. It\u2019s bitterly cold outside, and you\u2019ve set the thermostat to 68 degrees. However, a north-facing room with inefficient windows might be 64 degrees, while a south-facing bedroom on the second floor \u2013 where heat rises \u2013 may be a balmy 72 degrees. A zoning system can fix this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A zoning system divides a house into two or more distinct temperature zones and are controlled by separate thermostats. This opens up the door for multiple options when it comes to heating and cooling. You can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Keep rooms that are rarely used at a lower temperature in the winter and a higher temperature in the summer compared to the rest of the house<\/li>
  • Keep your bedroom warmer in the winter and your guest room cooler when it\u2019s not being used<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The options are endless. To control the various flow of conditioned air into separate zones, motorized dampers are installed in the ducts. The dampers, which are able to open and close, receive signals from the independent thermostats in regards to what temperature the room needs to be heated or cooled. When a room reaches the desired temperature, the dampers are closed. When all of the rooms in a home are at the desired temperature, your home\u2019s furnace or air conditioning system cycles off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Benefits of a Zoned HVAC Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are so many benefits to adding a zoned HVAC system to your Grand Rapids or Lansing home. Just a few of the them include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Increased energy efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Because you\u2019re not constantly adjusting the thermostat to keep the house at just the right temperature, you\u2019ll save money on your monthly energy bill. Rooms that are rarely used can be left cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer months. A zoned HVAC system can increase energy savings by as much as 30 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you enjoy all the conveniences that come with modern technology, then you\u2019ll love your zoned HVAC system. Each thermostat comes with its own remote that can be adjusted from anywhere in the house. That\u2019s good news if you\u2019re watching a movie or game and don\u2019t want to get up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Extended service life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With a zoned system, you won\u2019t end up using your HVAC system as often as a conventional system that runs more frequently because it\u2019s warming or cooling the entire home at the same temperature. This limits wear and tear on the system and leads to an extended service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Increased comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Everyone in the family will be happy because they can control the temperature setting to one that fits their individual comfort level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
