If your thermostat has become a hot topic for Team Hot vs. Team Cold with the referee being your energy bill, it may be time to think about zoning your Cambridge home. A zoned comfort system means you can independently control the temperature of certain areas (zones) of your home. A properly zoned house can improve the comfort of your home, and there may finally be a truce between Team Hot and Team Cold in Cambridge.
A zoned home uses multiple thermostats to handle the different zones of your home. The thermostats run the dampers within your duct work to control the air flow to your designated zones. Zones are broken down according to things such as the usage of room, a family’s personal preferences, architectural qualities, and areas with similar heating and cooling needs.
Additional Comfort
The added comfort that comes from a zoned home is something everyone in your family can revel in. Because heat naturally goes up, if you’re living in one of the endless multiple story homes in Cambridge, the top level will typically be warmer than the lower levels. To counter this, the dampers within your ductwork will open and close to be sure there is even air distribution throughout your home. This can make hot and cold spots a thing of the past. They also allow family members that are usually hot or cold to stay comfortable with added temperature control.
Zoning your home means that you can heat and cool rooms based on their usage as well. If you have specific areas of your home that aren’t used as often as your main living space, you can get around heating or cooling those when they aren’t being utilized.
