How a Zone Control System will Save you Money

Many homeowners in Indiana who are looking to maximize their cost savings and increase their comfort have installed a zone control system. Aside from investing in a programmable thermostat and sealing windows and doors, using a zone control system helps control the temperature in your home. Let’s go over how it works, and how a zone control system will save you money.

What is a zone control system?

A zone control system is a professionally installed system, consisting of thermostats and dampers installed in various rooms, or zones, throughout your house. The thermostats are connected to a central control panel, which also controls the dampers in the ducts.

When the thermostat is adjusted, the central control panel opens and closes the dampers to reach the target temperature in each zone. So it’s easy to set temperatures differently for each zone in your home.

Heating & Air Conditioning professionals can also install as many dampers as you desire, depending on the number of zones you want to divide your house into.

The average cost to install Heating & Air Conditioning zoning systems ranges from $ 3,000 to $ 8,000, depending on several factors.

Ductless systems and zoning

For some homeowners, opting for ductless heating and cooling system is a cost-efficient way to enhance zone control. Installation typically requires each unit to have a separate indoor air handler. Each air handler is controlled by a thermostat or remote control.

Since there’s a separate remote control and thermostat for every air handler, homeowners enjoy the freedom to control the temperature in each zone.

How a zone control system will save you money

Zone control systems make it possible to heat or cool only the rooms that need it – and don’t allow heated or cooled air into the zones that don’t need it. With zone control systems, homeowners have total control over where the cooled or heated air goes.

If you only have one thermostat controlling the entire home’s heating and cooling, there’s no way to control the temperature in each room. You’ll have to close the outlets in each room manually, which can be time-consuming, and could cause problems for your Heating & Air Conditioning unit. Closing too many outlets may also reduce airflow, and shorten your Heating & Air Conditioning system’s life.

This is why a zone control system is a game-changer. It’s like having a switch in every room. When you only have one thermostat for the entire house, and you only require heating or cooling in one zone, you end up wasting energy.

But with zone control systems you save energy and money. While they minimize energy usage, they maximize your comfort.
