It's actually very simple.
Your heating & cooling system puts
out heated or cooled air that runs
through the ducts to various rooms
of you house and mixes with the air
that is already present.
Every home has a different air flow
pattern because of the floor plan
layout, wind, exposure to the sun,
drafts, etc. Different rooms
have different requirements for
heating or cooling to maintain the
desired comfort level.
Also, there are times when you are
not using various rooms and could
save a considerable amount of money
by not heating or cooling them.
For example, why heat and cool your
entire house every night while only
occupying the bedrooms? Keep
the bedrooms cooler at night, adjust
your living room temperature to
account for larger windows, or help
control differences between floors.
Zoning is the solution to these
problems. You can create as
many zones as your unique situation
requires. At Polar Air we have
experienced staff that can help in
the decisions on how many zones your
house needs.
Zoning is accomplished by inserting
dampers into the ducts that lead to
each zone which is controlled by the
same thermostat. This allows
you to selectively maintain the
desired comfort level in each zone
or room.
Zoning can result in substantial
energy savings. Your system
will run less and will more easily
maintain the desired comfort
settings throughout the entire
house. When used with
programmable thermostats, zoning can
save you up to 30% on heating and
cooling costs, adding up to hundreds
of dollars in savings each year.
