Zone control systems in Waterloo, IA

What zone control systems do

Essentially, zone control is a way of dividing up the ventilation network of a home’s HVAC system so that heated and cooled air only flows to designated rooms. A series of dampers placed inside the ducts seals off sections of the ventilation system, closing off the room vents. The number of dampers determines how many different temperature "zones" in the house, which is something that the homeowner will decide. There can be as few as two (such as for the upstairs and downstairs) or as many as there are vents.

A local thermostat connects to each of the dampers, allowing for control over the temperatures in the specific zone. In turn, the local thermostats network into a central control panel, where the homeowner can set the cooling/heating patterns for the entire house.

The benefits of zone control cooling and heating

Your home can receive a number of excellent benefits thanks to a professionally installed zone control system, including:

• Lower energy bills: For a large home, or one with guest rooms and other locations that are often empty, zone control reduces how much energy you need to heat and cool the house. When you only need to provide comfort to the rooms that need it, your bills will go down.
• Personalized comfort: No more bickering between household members about how to set the temperature. Zone control grants everyone the ability to manipulate the climate wherever they are.
• Even temperature distribution: With wise use of the central thermostat, you can see that heating and cooling is kept even around the house.
