What Is a Zone Control System, and Why Use One?
You’ve probably heard the buzz about zone control systems, but what are they exactly? A zone control system effectively controls and monitors the temperature of each room or zone in your home. With a conventional zone control system, you’ll use your duct system in conjunction with motorized dampers, a zone control panel, and independent remote temperature sensors for each room or zone. It will need to be determined whether or not your existing duct system can be utilized or if a new duct system is needed. The same thing goes for your system as a zone controlled system is only recommended to be used with two-stage or variable-speed equipment. Logicool Air Solutions can send one of our HVAC professionals to determine if your equipment or duct work is compatible, and, if not, we can make recommendations on how to make your HVAC system compatible.
Essentially a zone control system controls the temperature in each room or zone by opening and closing the motorized dampers based on the set point of the remote temperature sensor in the specific area you are trying to condition. For example, if you have the set point in a room set for 75 degrees and it is 78 degrees, then the damper will remain open, allowing conditioned air to continue to enter the room until the temperature reaches 75 degrees at which point it will close and discontinue all conditioned air into the room.
Zone control systems are perfect for homes with different needs in each space. If you live with someone who wants their room cooler than yours, or let’s say you live in a multi-story home where the upper levels stay warmer due to rising heat, a zone control system is the ideal solution.
Benefits of a Zone Control System
There are many benefits of zone control systems, including:
Complete Climate Control
You can easily control the temperature of each room or zone using a remote, which means everyone in your home can be comfortable, even if their temperature preferences vary.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Because your zone control system can heat each area individually, you won’t be wasting energy on rooms that don’t need drastic heating or cooling. This can save you money in the long run and help your system last longer.
One Single HVAC System
Zone control systems utilize one single system. This means there is no need for multiple systems to condition your home, thus reducing equipment cost, installation cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost.
