A zone control system splits your home into multiple zones. By doing this a zone system is increasing the efficiency of your system. Also each zone can be heated or cooled independently of the other zones. For example you may like your bedroom much cooler than your living room. A zoned system can ensure that is achieved.
How a HVAC zoning system works
Your standard system usually works to heat or cool the whole home. It is controlled by a single thermostat. What this means is if you feel uncomfortable, and you go to adjust your thermostat it adjusts the temperature of your entire home. This costs more energy and money for the consumer. When zoning is used, each zone is controlled by its own thermostat. The thermostats then communicate to the zoning system. The zoning system includes; a zoning panel and zoning dampers within the ductwork, and they allow the heating or cooling unit to deliver air where it is needed.
The Benefits of the HVAC Zoning System
The benefits for using a zone system is very extensive. Some of these benefits are listed below;
No more wasting energy trying to heat or cool your whole home. This is due to the independently controlled zone temperature.
Comfort in each zone can be controlled. This will keep unwanted rooms to be shut down. (refer to above) This saves greatly on energy costs as well. It accommodates to the special needs of each room.
With zone control you limit the wear and tear of your system, by utilizing the system for only certain zones of your home. This will save you greatly on maintenance cost and your system should last substantially longer.
A zone system will also help compensate those more difficult rooms to heat or cool, by providing even temperatures throughout the home.
Is a HVAC Zoned System Right For You?
A zone system can be installed with any system that has duct work; however, it runs most efficiently in larger scale environments. Zoning system efficiency is also relative to the architecture of the structure. Here are some examples on what works best with a HVAC zoning system; a two-story home, basement, attic living space, Cathedral ceilings, living space over your garage, sunroom, Several large windows in the house, wide layout with two or more wings.

There are many different parts that keep your furnace operating smoothly and efficiently. Below we will be breaking down the individual parts of your furnace system. We are going to be focusing on gas powered furnace components and non-geothermal heating methods. We are not going to be focusing as much on furnaces such as space heaters, but a lot of the space heaters have the same parts. We want to focus today on furnaces that are directly tied into a HVAC system. The furnace components we will be discussing will most likely belong to your standard furnace that is tied into a duct system.
Furnaces typically have a life expectancy of 15-20 years on average. Heat pumps last 16 years on average. Air conditioning units generally last 16-20 years. Tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of 20 years while a gas or electric water heater have a life expectancy that’s half that. Even though the older units were significantly less energy efficient, they malfunctioned a lot less. In the older units there were much less parts that could malfunction and the system while low in efficiency was very straightforward. Due to the lack of moving parts the older systems could take a lot more abuse from the elements and much less maintenance. They were less susceptible to dirty filters, plant overgrowth on the outside of the condenser, dirty blower wheels, dirty coils, and oversized ductwork. The newer systems save you much more money relative to the old ones. The new units require more maintenance but have the potential to last just as long as the old units while simultaneously saving you way more money on energy efficiency.
When winter arrives, the last thing you need is your furnace going out. The furnace of your HVAC system provides heat throughout your entire home, so during the winter, it's very important that it’s working properly. I will explain also how to troubleshoot a furnace as well.

It has been reported that the average consumer can save about 10-30% on their heating and cooling costs alone. Maximum energy saving settings are pre-programmed for your convenience.
