What Are the Perks of Home Zoning Systems?

Originally published in July 2018

With home zoning, you can maintain different temperatures in different rooms of your Atlanta, GA home. There are many advantages associated with zoned HVAC. Here are some perks that homeowners like best:

Reduce Your Heating and Cooling Costs

With traditional HVAC, you can maintain only one indoor temperature. If you set the thermostat for 72 degrees, the entire house will be 72 degrees. It costs a lot of money to heat or cool a whole house. With zoning, you can heat or cool only the rooms you use. The cost savings can be considerable.

Control Your HVAC From Anywhere With Smart Thermostats

If you add smart thermostats to a home zoning system, you can remotely control conditions in your Atlanta, GA home from anywhere. You can turn down the heat remotely if you leave home and forget, and you can turn the heat back up when you’re on your way home.

Save Even More With Programmable Thermostats

With home zoning, each room has its own remote control thermostat. When you opt to make those thermostats programmable, you can automatically maintain different temperatures in different rooms at different times and on different days. According to some estimates, programmable thermostats paired with home zoning technology can deliver energy savings as high as 35 percent.

Indulge Your Personal Indoor Comfort Preferences

Zoning gives you the freedom to indulge your indoor comfort preferences without paying an exorbitant price. Your ideal indoor temperature might be 85 degrees. However, you’d never set the thermostat that high with traditional HVAC because you’d have to heat the whole house to 85 degrees. With zoning, you can crank up the heat in the room you’re using while maintaining other zones at a respectable 68 degrees.
