Why You Need Dual-Zoned Heating and Cooling For More Efficiency

It’s a common problem in today’s homes: some rooms are too hot while others are too cold. If you’re looking for a way to keep your home more comfortable every day of the year, a dual-zoned heating and cooling system may be just what you’re looking for. 

What is dual-zoned heating and cooling? It’s a way of adding a zoned system to your HVAC. It uses sensors, thermostats, and dampers to control how your home is heated or cooled throughout. You design the system based on what makes more sense – may one zone for the bedrooms upstairs, with another for your main floor living space. 

While it may sound sophisticated, utilizing the latest technology, it is growing in popularity up and down the Front Range. Dual-zoned heating and cooling can benefit you in many ways, including:

• Lowering your monthly utility bills – if you frequently reach for the thermostat as you move from room to room, dual-zoned heating and cooling may be the perfect solution.
• Customizable heating and cooling solutions – you’ll have an easy way to control temperature in the various zones of your home. Make it warmer in the zone you’re snuggling up and watching television, while keeping it cooler in your home gym. 
• Longer lifespan for HVAC equipment – if the system doesn’t have to work harder as you turn the thermostat up and down to control temperatures, it will extend the life of the equipment. 

Dual-zoned heating and cooling provide two separate units to each operate in a region of your home. People choose dual-zoned heating and cooling for many reasons, including:

• Your home has multiple stories
• Your home has a basement
• Your home has vaulted ceilings
• You have rooms with expansive windows
• You have specific needs for certain sections of your home (ie, a home office)
