You don't need a new furnace or air to be comfortable in every room!! We use your present furnace and air conditioner.

Challenges:

  • Hot air rises and cold air falls. Because there's only one thermostat for the whole house, typical systems simply can't maintain consistent floor-to-floor temperatures in a multi-story home.
  • High ceilings or large, two-story entrances can also impact the way your system delivers comfort to your home

Zoning Solutions:

  • One solution is to separate the upper floor from the lower floor. In addition, the upper floor may be split according to use. Children's bedrooms may be separated from the master bedroom. Or, an unoccupied spare bedroom could also be made into a zone.
  • On the main floor, the kitchen and dining areas can be separated from the living room or family room. A study or home office could be a zone, or you might need to separately control a larger room with a high ceiling.

IS TEMPERATURE ZONING RIGHT FOR YOU?

You Don’t Use One Switch to Turn On Every Light. You Don’t Use One Handle to Turn On Every Faucet. So Why Use Just One Thermostat For Your Entire Home?

Is Temperature Zoning Right for You?

Temperature zoning is highly recommended if your home has:

• Multiple levels

• Room(s) with large windows

• Large open areas such as vaulted ceilings or foyer

• Room(s) in a finished basement or attic

• Room(s) with an exposed concrete floor

• Rooms that are consistently too hot or too cold

• Bedroom(s) in the upper levels

• Rooms that are used occasionally

• Occupied rooms in the attic or basement

• An extra room over the garage

TEMPERATURE zoning is highly recommended if you:

• Have an extra room over the garage

• Have young children

• Spend most of your day at home

• Occupied rooms in the attic or basement

• Have sleepless nights because your upstairs rooms are too warm

• Avoid your downstairs rooms because they're too cold

• Close vents in one room in attempt to redirect airflow
