If you divide all the energy consumed in an American household into portions based on what it\u2019s used for, by far the largest portion goes to heating and cooling. This is a huge use of energy \u2014 electricity, natural gas, and more \u2014 and a huge expense for hardworking folks trying to make ends meet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can\u2019t simply decide not to heat or cool your home. You\u2019d be uncomfortable, and sometimes even unsafe. In the winter, your plumbing pipes would freeze and burst! But there are ways to spend less money and use less energy getting your home to the right temperature, and zone control systems<\/a> are a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Central Heat & AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most American homes, we have central heating systems and central air conditioners. This means that all the hot or cold air is created in one place. It\u2019s then carried throughout the house to spread it evenly, so a consistent temperature can be maintained in all parts of your home. This is great! But sometimes, you don\u2019t need every part of your home to be perfectly heated or cooled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Ductwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The system that allows heated and cooled air to be brought to all parts of your home is your HVAC ductwork. The ducts connect your furnace and air conditioner to the vents in the various rooms in your house. The ducts are like open hallways for air to whoosh down, and in most cases, it whooshes everywhere pretty evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zone Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A zone control system is a way of controlling exactly how much of your heated and cooled air ends up in which part of your home. With zone control, you can close or open \u201cdoors\u201d in those ductwork hallways, blocking the flow or allowing it through, keeping the majority of your heated or cooled air in the places you need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost and Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you have a extra room, guest bedroom, front room or parlor that only gets occasional use. Perhaps you work from home, and while you need your office and the spaces closest to it at an ideal temperature, you would be fine throughout the day with the rest of the house being ten degrees different in one direction or the other, allowing you to use less energy and have lower utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key benefit is the comfort of different individuals in your home. Got a room full of tropical birds or reptiles? You can keep them perfectly toasty without overheating everyone else. Got a family member who always gets too hot while they\u2019re sleeping? Keep their room cooler without letting the rest of the family freeze. With zone control, everyone can have the comfort that\u2019s best for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Zone Control Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting a zone control system means having an HVAC expert install dampers (the \u201cdoors\u201d) inside your ducts, as well as individual thermostats for the separate zones.
