Zoning

Definition

Dividing a home into independently controlled areas using dampers and thermostats, so you heat or cool only the spaces you're using.

Why this matters for your home

Zoning divides a home into independently controlled areas, each with its own thermostat, using motorized dampers to direct airflow where it's called for. Instead of one setting for the whole house, the upstairs and main floor — or a bonus room — can hold their own temperatures.

It's an effective fix for the classic two-story problem of a hot upstairs and a cold main floor, and it cuts waste by conditioning only the spaces in use. We design zones around how your home is actually built and lived in, so the system stays balanced and isn't fighting closed dampers.
