The Top 5 Benefits of Zoned HVAC Systems

One of the best ways to optimize your HVAC system is by installing a zoned system.

If you’re a homeowner, you likely inherited your HVAC system from the previous resident. The reason is that updating the HVAC system is usually not at the top of a buyer’s priorities. Eventually, though, you may decide that you want to upgrade and optimize your heating and cooling process. One of the best ways to do so is by installing a zoned system. Here are 5 benefits.

Energy Efficiency

The best way to think about HVAC energy efficiency is to treat its function like you do the lights in your home. There is a good chance that you turn them off when you’re not using a room, so why wouldn’t you do the same with your heating and cooling? What a zoned system allows you to do is heat and cool specific areas in your home, rather than the entire space. Utilizing this function will inevitably lead to higher energy efficiency.

Cost Savings

When we talk about energy efficiency, we’re referring to how hard your HVAC system needs to work to control the temperature in your home. While lowering energy usage is a positive development on its own, the most appealing benefit of doing so is saving money. Using a zoned system allows you to only spend your money where it counts, and not in areas of your home that you don’t need heating or cooling in.

Extended System Life

You will start to enjoy the cost savings of energy efficiency right away, but that isn’t the only domain in which you benefit. The other is extending the life of your system. Zoning leads to less usage, and less usage leads to less wear and tear on your machinery. The result should be you not needing to replace your system for a very long time. Less efficient methods, on the other hand, will cost you more in the long run due to repairs and replacements.

Comfort

Perhaps the toughest part about living with other people is you butting heads over your preferences. One source of such a disagreement could be temperature, as some people get hot easliy and others get cold easily. If you like a cool room at night and someone else likes it much warmer, you can both be happy with a zoned system.

Smart Capabilities

Lastly, your zoned system will most likely come with a smart thermostat. These pieces of technology often have a variety of convenient capabilities that increase your comfort. The most popular of them are advanced scheduling and remote control from smartphone applications.

Now that you know the benefits of zoned systems, it is time to make a choice. You have three primary options. They are installing one right away, getting one next time you need a new system, or choosing not to purchase one at all. For many, energy efficiency, cost savings, an extended system life, comfort, and smart capabilities will motivate them to get a zoned system.
