One question we get a lot is, what questions am I not asking you?
It is an understandable question since homeowners may go 10 or 15+ years in between HVAC replacements. They want to know how to make the most of this next HVAC replacement.
If you are replacing your HVAC system, and you're wanting to know how to make the most of it, we would ask a few questions back to you:
Are there any zones in your home that receive too much heat in the winter / cool in the summer?
Are there any zones in your home that receive not enough heat in the winter / cool in the summer?
Are your utility costs very high due to the size of your home?
If you are answering "yes" to the questions above, you might want to consider HVAC zoning for your next upgrade.
What Is HVAC Zoning?
HVAC zoning is a system that allows you to control the temperature of different areas or "zones" of your home independently. This means you can set different temperatures for different rooms or sections, so you can keep the living room cooler while keeping the bedroom warmer, for example. This setup enhances comfort and can save energy by not heating or cooling areas that are not in use.
How Can HVAC Zoning Affect My Energy Bill?
HVAC zoning can lower a homeowner's energy bill by only heating or cooling the areas of the home that are being used. This means you won't waste energy (and money) on conditioning empty rooms, leading to more efficient use of your HVAC system and reduced energy consumption.
Is It HVAC Zoning Worth It?
The initial cost of installing a zoning system can be higher, but the benefits often outweigh the expense. Zoning can significantly reduce energy bills by only heating or cooling the areas you use, which leads to lower energy consumption. Additionally, it provides greater comfort by allowing personalized temperature settings in different rooms. Over time, the energy savings and enhanced comfort typically make the investment in zoning systems worthwhile.
HVAC Zoning will, likely, continue to be our number 1 recommended upgrade after a homeowner has chosen their HVAC system. Especially in our market, Chattanooga, TN, where temperatures fluctuate greatly throughout the season, HVAC zoning can be a tremendous investment to keep ultimate indoor comfort, while reducing ongoing utility costs.
