One of the most common complaints that we hear from homeowners in the Nashua, NH area and surrounding towns is that their home’s temperature is inconsistent. One room is too hot, while another is too cold. It can be tempting to throw a separate zone and thermostat in every room just to deal with that frustration. But is that really necessary?
Zones in your HVAC system divide the house up into sections. Most homes are zoned by floor. For example, the first floor is zone one, and the second floor is the second zone. Thermostats are placed in each zone, which controls what the temperature, and level of heating or cooling of the home, is set at.
There is no cut and dry answer to how many zones a home should have. Some homeowners choose to have the bedroom set as a separate zone, so that a consistent temperature can be maintained each night, but adjusted during the day. Consider how you would divide the house up and this is a good way to identify how many, and what, zones would be the best fit for your home and your family.
Installing multiple zones in your home can be a great way to save money on your heating and air conditioning bills. Rooms that are not accessed during the day time or at night can have their temperature adjusted accordingly. With today’s intuitive thermostats, which are programmable and can work remotely, this type of accommodation is easy to make.
