Zone Control Systems
Do some areas of your West Jefferson, NC, home have inconsistent temperatures even as you adjust your home’s only thermostat? If so, then read on. You could most likely benefit from a zone control system.
A zone control system gives you control over the temperature in each room in your house using only single zone unitary HVAC equipment. The zone control system warms or cools the rooms you use the most at the time you use them. It works in tandem with your thermostat(s) to provide only the necessary heating or cooling energy each room in your home needs at the time. There are only a few required basic items to zone your home: thermostats, a control panel, and zone dampers in your ductwork. Although zoning doesn’t affect the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, a zone control does make the most efficient use of your system.
How Does It Work?
A zone control system uses thermostats to connect to a central control panel to open and shut dampers distributed throughout your ductwork, thus blocking or releasing hot or cold air. You set the temperature for each zone via each thermostat, and the zone control system does the rest of the work for you. There are many factors affecting the indoor temperature in your home, such as appliances, higher or cathedral ceilings, shading, wind chill, and cooking. Zoning solves these problems by allowing each zone’s thermostat to individually adjust to the desired heating or cooling level.
What Is a Zone?
A zone can be anything you design it to be: an entire floor of your house, a group of rooms, or just one room.
How Do I Know If I Need a Zone Control System?
Determining if you need a zone control system isn’t too tricky. We at Scott Brothers Heating & Air are happy to help you make that assessment. But to get started, if you can answer yes to one or more of the following conditions in your home, your home is more than likely a candidate. Does your home have:
- More than one level or story?
- A rambling floor plan that extends far beyond your main living space?
- A concrete slab as your foundation?
- Large glass windows?
- Finished rooms in the attic or basement, or rooms over the garage?
- Large open areas?
Answering yes to any of the above home conditions indicates you should call us at 336-877-1702 so one of our experienced technicians can talk with you about your options for a zone control system.
A wonderful characteristic of a zone control is you can begin your home with only one zone and then retrofit the application. Of course, you can always start a new home with a zone control system as well.
Benefits of a Zone Control System
The two biggest benefits of installing this kind of system are energy efficiency and money savings. Pairing a zone control system with a programmable or smart thermostat will give you more control over your home’s heating and cooling than you ever thought possible. No longer will you be overheating or overcooling areas in your home to accommodate the other too-warm or too-cool areas or because certain rooms aren’t used by anyone in your home at different times of the day. High energy efficiency is a guaranteed way to save money.
Another benefit, and perhaps the most gratifying benefit, of the system is the increased comfort you’ll feel in your home. Gone will be the days of hot or cold spots. Your home will be as you’ve always dreamed it should be––home sweet home. Give Scott Brothers Heating & Air a call today.
“Great experience with a knowledgeable technician!”
“Curtis is great and he gets 5 Stars. But, we are asked to confirm appointments a day early without any window of time when the service technician will arrive. This should be added to the confirmation process. In addition , when sending the technician is on his way, the arrival time is inconsistent. Suggest this notice go out when your technician is approximately 30 minutes from arriving.”
“Luke was very cordial & polite & didn’t rush thru the service.”
“I met Delaney for the first time. He arrived at the appointment time and we chatted for a few minutes getting to know each other. He was very professional and definitely appeared to know what he was doing. In his final report on the status of my system he attached photos of his measurements as well as of other maintenance items which is the first time I have seen this. He wore booties every time he came into the house to make sure he kept everything clean. I rate him very highly.”
“Great service and super responsive.
Scott Brothers called me back in a weekend and was able to get to my house the next day. Curtis was super to work with.
David.”
“Luke arrived at the appointed time and proceeded with the fall maintenance of our heating/AC system. He was polite, professional and completed the assigned tasks expeditiously. He informed us of his findings and asked us to notify him if we have any problems with our system in the future.”
“The quality of service techs at Scott Brothers is unparalleled. Chase, like the other techs I’ve interacted with, was courteous, knowledgeable and determined to figure out what was wrong with our system. He figured out what the mess of wires meant and had us up and running in no time. Also, a huge shout out to the folks behind the scenes who helped get us on the books on short notice!”
“Excellent communication, professional and prompt service.”
