How does HVAC zoning work?
HVAC zoning systems use motorized dampers or flex dampers to move forced air (heat and cool) to the occupied areas or to areas of your home or office where you have a temperature problem (i.e. upstairs or the west side of a home). An example would be in the winter time, you can heat the living area after work until time to go to bed. Then at bedtime you can close down the dampers in the living areas and send the conditioned air to the bedrooms. Therefore, you will not be wasting energy dollars heating areas that are not being used. Another prime example is in two story homes. Most of the heat moves upstairs so it is a challenge keeping the upstairs cool and the downstairs warm. A RetroZone system will eliminate this issue as well.
