Traditional HVAC systems have several drawbacks, including the need for manual temperature adjustments, uneven heating and cooling, and the difficulty of reaching a consensus on a set temperature among occupants. Traditional HVAC units are also highly inefficient because they supply heat or cold air into your entire house. Zoned HVAC systems aim to solve this inefficiency and provide homeowners with many other heating and cooling benefits.
1. Better Comfort and Convenience
A traditional HVAC system is built to indiscriminately heat or cool every part of your home connected to the system. Thus, different occupants of your home have no choice but to go by the temperature set at the thermostat for the whole house. The inability to control the temperature in different rooms or zones of your home brings discomfort to some and significantly inconveniences others. In contrast, zoned HVAC systems have thermostats installed in every room or section of your home. The thermostats allow homeowners to adjust the temperature and customize it to their liking.
2. Improved Monthly Energy Savings
Traditional HVAC systems heat or cool the whole house, regardless of whether it is needed in certain rooms, making it highly inefficient. For zoned HVAC systems, the ability to control the temperature of different rooms allows you to turn off the system in rooms or regions unoccupied in your home. Thus, your HVAC unit improves efficiency and consumes less energy, significantly saving energy.
3. Extended Lifespan of Your HVAC Unit
Conventional HVAC systems must work harder since they are constantly operating to heat and cool your entire home. Thus, they encounter increased wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan. On the other hand, zoned HVAC systems have improved efficiency, and they do not have to work as hard to heat your home. Zoned HVAC systems have a longer lifespan than traditional systems, ultimately resulting in more excellent value for your investment.
4. Eliminates Hot or Cold Spots
Traditional HVAC systems often have hot and cold spots throughout your home because their efficiency diminishes as you move away from the heating or cooling source. They have a single thermostat that controls the temperature of the whole house. This thermostat is often placed in a central area and might not capture the actual temperature reading of the rest of your home. Thus, you’re likely to experience hot and cold areas in your house. Zoned systems eliminate this problem by utilizing various thermostats covering your entire house. Thus, the thermostat of a particular room can detect temperature changes in that room and adjust accordingly to provide extra comfort and eliminate hot and cold spots.
5. Easy Installation
Some zoned HVAC systems are ductless, which can take a short time to install as they do not have ducts. In addition to having an easy installation, you will incur fewer costs than traditional systems. An HVAC technician from Heatwave Heating & Cooling can also install the zoned system for each room independently, making it ideal to expand your system to other rooms or renovate your home.
6. Quieter Operation
Traditional HVAC systems are often louder and produce disrupting sound. These sounds occur because the heating system works hard to warm your home. Zoned HVAC systems don’t have to work as hard because not all regions of your home must be heated simultaneously. Thus, it gives you the comfort and convenience of operating from a quiet house.
