When you are sitting in your home, does it feel comfortable? If not, you may want to consider having a zone control HVAC system installed by a professional contractor. A traditional HVAC unit cools and heats the whole home, but a zoned system is simply designed to control the temperature in individual areas of the home. Prior to making this type of massive switch in your home, though, it is a good idea to not only talk to a professional HVAC contractor but to also do your own research and learn about the benefits of these zoned systems. Keep reading to learn about three benefits of zone controlled HVAC systems. 

Universal Comfort 

Though a traditional heating and air conditioning unit heats or cools your home to a certain temperature, a zone control heating and conditioning system will permit you the opportunity to choose a temperature for each individual area of your home. In other words, you can heat the bathroom while cooling the kitchen and keeping the system turned off to the living room completely all at the same time. The temperature for every single room in the house is set based on your individual preferences. 

Enhanced Efficiency 

Standard air conditioners and heaters do not use energy very efficiently due to the fact that they cool or warm the whole house to one desired temperature as preset by the homeowner. In some cases, there isn't even anyone at home, meaning that the energy is completely wasted. Heating and air contractors recommend zoned systems if you are looking to replace your HVAC unit with one that will not cause a significant spike in your utility bills. 

Increased Convenience 

Have you ever woken up during the middle of the night, especially during the winter, and needed to get out of bed, head down the hallway or even downstairs, to adjust the thermostat so that your home can warm up a bit? Well, if you opt to have a zone control HVAC system installed in your home, this is not something that you ever have to worry about again. Why? Because the thermostat for your bedroom (or any room for that matter) will be in that room or nearby, which is incredibly convenient and something that standard HVAC systems simply are unable to match. Plus, most of these systems come with remotes, making it even more convenient to change the temperature when needed. 

Whether you are building a home and scoping out HVAC units or need a new unit because yours is about to bite the dust, you should talk to an air conditioning and heating installation professional about zone control HVAC units.
