One common complaint we hear from homeowners is in regard to their home’s comfort level, with an uneven temperature throughout the home. This often leads to a discussion about zone control. A homeowner in Pelham, NH recently had this complaint and asked about the “rules” for zone control in his home. While there may not necessarily be any “rules” there are some general guidelines that can help when considering your home’s zone control.
Zone Control Guidelines For Improved Comfort Level
From windows and drafts to a whole host of other factors, the rooms throughout your home do not typically need the same level of heating and air conditioning to maintain a set temperature. A zoning system can help to regulate these changes from room to room.
The following are some zoning system guidelines to ensure that your entire home is a steady temperature, and thus more energy efficient.
Control Each Floor With An Air Duct Damper
Heat rises, which can dramatically affect your home’s temperature from floor to floor.
Take Into Account The Home’s Construction
Newer homes designed to be more energy-efficient have vastly different needs than an older home.
Exterior Vs. Interior Rooms
Those rooms that are on the perimeter of the home typically have different heating and cooling needs than rooms that are located on the interior.
Thermostat Location
Where the reading of the thermostat is taking place is a critical component.
The Solar Effect
Rooms that get more sun can have a very different temperature than those that don’t.
