Are there rooms in your home that always feel too hot or too cold?
Do you get frustrated because everyone in your family prefers a different temperature?
Maybe you wake up in the morning in a hot and humid bedroom, but the kitchen feels cool and comfy.
Why can there be so much temperature variation?
There are many reasons why different rooms may have different temperatures: location in the home, number of windows and type of window coverings, sun exposure, all play a part, but even flooring choices can affect the temperature in a room.
As a result each room or group of rooms will need a different amount of air conditioning to create the indoor comfort level and ideal temperature you desire. The solution is temperature zoning of your HVAC system.
Temperature-zoning is a method of delivering conditioned air to create consistent and reliable temperatures through cooling or heating designated zones. Temperature-zoning is an ideal solution for many different circumstances:
– A split-level or multi-story home
– Rooms either too hot or too cold
– Family members prefer different comfort/temperature levels
– Rarely or unused areas in your home are being cooled and heated
– Installing new or additional ductwork is not cost-effective
While closing vents may seem like a good idea, it pushes excess air to other places in your home and the added pressure from closing a vent can cause leaks in your system, causing long-term and unnecessary energy waste. The best way to address the issues above is with a zoned AC system from Integrity Air.
How a Zone System Works, and How It Benefits You
It gets quite hot and humid in North Georgia, so your air conditioner runs from mid-May through late September. Since cooling the entire house to one temperature is usually not very efficient, a zoned HVAC system will save money on energy costs.
Zone control systems are comprised of multiple thermostats and electronic dampers. We install the dampers strategically throughout the ductwork and a thermostat in each zone. When you adjust the temperature at any single thermostat, its corresponding dampers will adjust as needed to achieve and maintain that temperature in that area of your home. For a more visual description, checkout Rheem’s YouTube video. You get the flexibility to choose the temperature of each zone independently of each other. The system cost depends upon number of zones, accessibility and equipment choices.
Not only does a zoned HVAC system save energy, it allows everyone in your home to be more comfortable. Integrity Air services all of North Georgia including Cherokee, Pickens, and Gilmer counties; contact us for a free estimate: (706) 889-6092.
