Zone Control System
Are you running into inconsistent temperatures throughout your home? The experts at Scott Hale have the solution you need. Zone control systems give homeowners room-to-room temperature control—perfect for picky sleepers. With a zone control system, you can enjoy a heated living room and a cool bedroom for a perfect night’s sleep. It doesn’t matter how small a zone is—zone control works for all spaces. Take control of your space with the help of Scott Hale.
What Is a Zone Control System?
Also simply called “zoning”, an HVAC zone control system separates your space into different zones. The temperature of these zones can be adjusted without disrupting other zones. This creates ideal comfort throughout each room while using up less energy than traditional HVAC systems.
Traditional systems work harder to adjust the temperature for every room, but HVAC zoning systems don’t. With zoning, comfort becomes precise, adjustable, and cost-effective.
How Does a Zone Control System Work?
First, the specialists from Scott Hale install dampers into your ductwork. Dampers distribute hot and cold air through the ducts into the different rooms.
For every zone, a thermostat is installed which is connected to the zoning system’s central control panel. This is where you can adjust the specific room temperature of each zone. It adjusts by the control panel opening and closing to distribute the hot and cold air to the needed zone.
Zone Control vs. Mini Split: What’s the Difference?
All mini-splits are zone control systems, but not every zone control system is a mini-split.
Zone control refers to any heating or cooling system that divides a home into different sections, each with its own temperature control. This allows homeowners to adjust the temperature precisely using locally installed thermostats.
A mini-split is a ductless system that provides zoning control without the need for a central control unit. Mini-splits utilize individual blowers placed in different rooms, delivering air directly into those areas. The zoning control is achieved by the blowers operating independently of one another.
If you are considering a zone control system, you don't necessarily have to choose a mini-split unless your space doesn’t have ducts. But if you already have forced-air ductwork, an HVAC installer at Scott Hale can help you set up dampers and install thermostats in the designated zones.
How Do I Know If I Need a Zone Control System?
If you are considering a zone control system, there are certain conditions that you should consider. See if your property has any of the following characteristics:
- Property has more than one story or level to its design
- Rooms with differing levels like a basement or attic
- Large open areas
- Built on a concrete slab foundation
- The floor plan extends past your main living area
- The property contains large windows (particularly glass windows)
If one or more of these apply to your property, you could benefit from a zone control system.
Zone Control Benefits
No matter the size of the zone your property is divided into, a zone control system’s enhanced temperature control provides a range of benefits:
Energy Efficiency
Zone control systems can help cut energy costs by heating or cooling rooms when needed. This is reinforced by the programmable thermostats through Wi-Fi features, providing you with the ability to monitor and adjust on the fly.
Curated Comfort
During the installation process, a Scott Hale specialist divides your property into different sections. Each section has its specific thermostat setting. The zoning system provides precise temperature control curated for the needs of that room.
Cost-Effectiveness
In a similar case to being more energy efficient, your system ends up consuming less energy with a zone control system. With less power usage, meaning your utility bills will see a great decrease. Zone control keeps you comfortable while saving you money at the same time.
Adjustable Options
Dividing your property into sections allows for adjustable heating and cooling no matter the complexity of the floor plans. Zone control systems work well for properties that have more than one story or different room elevations.
