What is an HVAC Zoning System?

Energy Savings

A multi-zone heating and cooling system's key benefit is its ability to save energy. HVAC zoning systems can save up to 30% on air conditioning expenses, according to the United States Department of Energy. This is accomplished by adjusting your air conditioning to your needs and not leaving it on in places where it is not required.

Greater Comfort

An HVAC zoning system allows you complete control over your air conditioning's working modes and temperatures. Each zone can have its own temperature and air conditioning mode. If one portion of the house is excessively cold and you need to increase the heat exclusively in that room, HVAC zoning can help you do so fast. As a result, other areas of the house are not overheated, resulting in more consistent temperature.

Better Air Quality

While the air passing through an HVAC system is filtered, pollutants such as lint, dust, pollen, and pet dander can sometimes get through the filters and back into your home. The dampers that regulate a zonal HVAC system ensure that air is only directed to the zone for which it was designed, preventing undesired dirt and particles from flowing throughout the house every time the HVAC system is turned on.
