The right HVAC equipment plays a significant role in keeping your home comfortable year-round. Unfortunately, some systems underperform and leave you with cold or hot spots, and you may even have entire rooms that don't receive conditioned air at all. If you're experiencing these problems at home, a zoned system can offer an effective solution. Here's a closer look at why you should talk to an HVAC technician about installing one.

How Does a Zoned HVAC System Work?

This type of HVAC system operates by establishing different zones, or sections, around the house, each with its own thermostat. Usually, these are individual rooms or floors, but the zone could also be a grouping of rooms in a specific region of the house. 

Since these areas have separate thermostats, the temperatures can be individually adjusted. For example, if you have a guest room, you don't have to heat or cool it year-round; you only need to turn the thermostat on when someone's visiting. Even if you have a full household, you and another resident can set different temperatures based on your preferences if you're in other areas of the house, such as the bedrooms.

What Are the Benefits?

The customization of a zoned HVAC system offers impressive energy efficiency. You won't needlessly use heating or air conditioning in rooms that don't need it. Not only will this save you money over time, but it also ensures the longevity of the system since the components won't wear down as quickly from being overworked.

Traditional central HVAC systems don't always push heated or cooled air to every part of the house. Sometimes, this is a limitation of the ductwork, or the size of the system is incorrect for the home. Regardless, a zoned system will give you control over the temperature of the room that was previously ignored to ensure more even heating or cooling throughout the house.

Another benefit is the ease of installation. HVAC technicians can set up a zoned system with or without previously installed ductwork. Some systems use traditional ducts and some don't, so it's not a requirement. 

The units themselves are usually compact, so the installation is quick. If you have a small household, you can also just get zoning for the rooms you're usually in and plan for an installation in the other areas at a later time.
