Looking for Energy Savings? Try Zoning Systems

By Ray LeCroy


One significant problem that a lot of homeowners experience in their households, is that they possess some rooms or spots where the temperature levels change out of control. Either the spaces are too hot, or too cold, and it never seems like you will get your living space at a comfortable temperature without turning up the central heater or air conditioner. If you own a home such as this, or are looking to find extra ways to save energy, you'll need a zoning system.

Zoning systems are devices that regulate the level of temperature in certain sections of your house. They operate extremely well at presenting sufficient levels of comfort in your household and can help you save a ton of money on your power bills at the same time.

A zoned air conditioning system allows you to separate your house into several zones, and these areas can be controlled using a programmable thermostat. The thermostat presents you with the ability to program each area, or section of your house, to a temperature level of your liking. In essence, a zoning system manages your HVAC system (whether it is your air conditioning unit, or your heater) by controlling dampers inside your ductwork. These dampers will close and open so that you can send the proper level of tempered air to the preferred sector in your house.

With total control over the temperatures of each and every portion of your home, you will quit sending conditioned air to parts of your house that rarely get used. That air can then be directed the areas or specific zones that you typically use. By using your zoning system correctly, you'll save yourself a ton of electrical power and, therefore, lessen the amount you are shelling out on your monthly power bills significantly. Sometimes, homeowners that have installed zoning systems for energy savings have reduced the cost of their power bills by as much as 30 %.

Although a zoning system is not going to influence how proficiently your HVAC system will perform, it'll improve upon the overall efficiency of the entire system by presenting you with a way to have more control over where you can route the hot and cold air it generates. It is actually entirely possible that, by making use of a zoning system, you'll be able to make use of an air conditioner/furnace that's designed for a smaller house, and still acquire excellent comfort levels. Considering smaller systems cost less, and are less difficult to install and maintain, you'll be able to save yourself even more money by adding a zoning system to your house.
