When you have guests visiting for the holidays in your Westchase, Florida, home, you want to ensure that everyone is comfortable. Some guests may like their rooms hotter or cooler than the others. It can be a challenge to try and keep one temperature in the house that keeps everyone happy, but zoning your home could be the perfect solution!
What Is Zoning?
HVAC zoning is a fairly new technology that works with your existing ductwork. Special dampers are installed in the ductwork. Smart thermostats are installed in individual rooms or areas of your home that are hooked to sensors in the dampers. When a thermostat is engaged, the damper opens just for that area, allowing cool or warm air to enter that specific room.
No More Squabbling Over the Temperature
If you have rooms that are normally unoccupied or tend to run hotter or cooler than the rest of the house, zoning can help to keep each room comfortable on an as-needed basis. If you have a guest who is staying in a lower room that does not receive as much heat as an upper one, they can simply set the thermostat for a warmer temperature. The sensors in the connected thermostat will send information to the control panel, telling it to allow air into that room. Every guest can set the temperature that they prefer.
Keep the Kitchen Cool and the Bedrooms Warm
When the holidays are in full swing, there can be a lot of activity in the kitchen and living room as people gather to cook, eat, and socialize. The combination of warm bodies and hot stoves can cause the temperature in that area to rise. With a zoned system, you can direct cooler temperatures into the kitchen, while adding warmer air to the bedrooms where guests are staying. HVAC zoning systems are very energy-efficient and can keep your guests happy with the temperature in their rooms.
