Multi-Zone HVAC System Installation in San Jose

Get Better Climate Control & Save Money!

Have you ever had a household disagreement over what temperature your home should be? If you'd rather end the constant battle over the thermostat, Comfort Energy, Inc. has a solution for you: HVAC zoning systems. Zoned heating and cooling systems allow you to divide your home into areas with similar needs for heating and cooling, with each zone controlled by its own separate thermostat. Not only does this allow more control over your comfort from room to room, but you can also reap the added benefit of improved energy efficiency, which translates to savings!

Can You Add Zones to An Existing HVAC System?

Yes, it is possible to add zones to an existing HVAC system. Adding new zones requires a zoning system and dampers installed into the ductwork. A zoning system uses sensors placed in each zone to measure temperature, humidity and other environmental factors. The sensors send information back to a control panel which adjusts the air flow of each zone by opening and closing the dampers. This allows you to have precise control over the temperature and comfort level of each zone, as well as reducing energy costs by only heating or cooling specific areas when needed.

The Benefits of Multi-Zone Heating & Cooling

Your central heating or cooling unit pushes air throughout the entirety of your home, even the rooms that are empty the majority of the time. Why spend money conditioning the air in rooms you aren't even using? Multi-zone systems give you control over which rooms to heat or cool, and when.

Advantages of installing a multi-zone HVAC system:

• Protecting family members who may have temperature sensitivities due to respiratory conditions
• Ending long fights over what temperature to set the thermostat to
• Increased home comfort due to more flexibility
• Energy savings due to no longer heating or cooling rooms not in use
• Money savings due to directing all of the airflow to the most used rooms

Types of HVAC Zoning Systems

Depending on the size and configuration of your home, there are two different possibilities for zoning systems.

These Zoning Systems Include:

• Ductless systems: If you’re not looking to do a complete overhaul of your current system, or you just want to add more temperature control to a specific room of your home, this system doesn’t connect to your central unit. You can install multiple systems to create specific zones in your home.
• Systems that connect to your central HVAC unit: By retrofitting your current central HVAC set up, you can install additional components that create zones within your home. This isn’t a lengthy project and it can be completed quite quickly. You will have to install additional thermostats throughout your home and a zone control panel. Our San Jose multi-zone heating and cooling technicians will also have to install dampers, which direct the cooled air to different parts of your home.
