The problem:
When it comes to keeping your home consistently comfortable from room to room, there are a number of factors working against you. The more rooms you have, the harder it is to maintain an even temperature. Add another story and things can only get harder. Something as simple as sunshine can raise a room’s temperature by 10 degrees or more. How can you keep things comfortable in every room in your home at once?
Traditionally, homes are equipped with a single thermostat. That’s like trying to control all the lights in your home with a single switch. You need a way to control the temperature in each room of your home individually.
The solution:
A Zone Controlled Comfort System uses multiple thermostats and a series of dampers in the ductwork to control which rooms are heated or cooled, and when. When the upstairs thermostat calls for more cooling, the system sends cool air only to the upstairs as needed. Once that zone has cooled off, the damper closes.
A properly designed zoning system must have three things :
1) a system that can adjust to the amount of heating or cooling it delivers
2) a multi-stage variable-speed blower motor that can adjust the airflow to match the output of the system
3) ductwork that can direct the air to the proper zones.
The best way to meet the needs of zone controls is with a multi-stage, variable stage heating and cooling system equipped with a Genteq Blower motor. This system mixes the right amount of heating and cooling with the right amount of airflow to maintain consistently comfortable temperatures in every room of the house.
