Residential HVAC Zoning For Marietta Homes & Properties
Imagine if every time you turned on a light switch, every electrical device in your home came on or if every time you went to wash your hands every faucet, shower, tub and toilet opened up. That would be crazy! So why is it that when you need heating in one room the entire house heats up? Now you can zone your heating and cooling so that you don’t have to heat or cool your entire home when you don’t need to.
Our home zoning system is specially designed to allow your entire family to be comfortable, regardless of where they are in your home. Now you can divide your home’s ductwork into specific zones that can be controlled independently, whether heating or cooling. Keep reading to learn more or get in touch online today!
How an HVAC Zoning System Works
HVAC Zoning works by using motorized dampers within your ductwork that open and close, sending air wherever you tell it to. Each zone has its own thermostat you can use to control the temperature by area instead of the whole-home. Your central control panel coordinates the thermostats and dampers, and you can control it all from the convenience of your phone or device. This system works with your furnace, AC, and even a heat pump.
Is Zoning Right for Your Marietta Home?
Any home with two or more stories where the upstairs runs hot can benefit from HVAC zoning in Marietta. Especially if you’re looking at additions, bonus rooms or a finished basement. You can divert air from rooms that don’t get used as much to keep the ones you do use cooler without overworking the system. It’s also great for homes where people have different temperature preferences, as one room can run hotter while another runs cold. Many of our clients say it helps if the home has lots of windows or lots of sun exposure. Give us a call and tell us your situation and we’ll let you know if HVAC zoning can help.

HVAC Zoning FAQs
Is HVAC zoning or a ductless mini-split better?
It depends on your home and whether you have existing ductwork or not. Zoning works with the ductwork you already have, while a mini-split suits rooms with no ducts.
Does zoning lower energy bills?
It can, because you stop heating and cooling empty rooms. It ultimately comes down to whether it helps you cut usage by not having to heat or cool the whole home at once.
Can I zone my home without new ductwork?
Usually, yes. HVAC zoning utilizes your existing ductwork and as long as it’s in good condition you should be able to benefit from it.
