Zone Control Systems
Heating and cooling might be an afterthought in some parts of the country, but here in Maine, it’s about keeping your home comfortable during those warmer months. And when winter rolls around, heating becomes essential. Yet, sometimes there are rooms in your home that never feel quite right—too warm in the summer, too cold in the winter. A perfect solution for these uneven temperatures is a zone control system, and Gammon’s Home Services has the expertise to help.
What Is a Zone Control System?
A zone control system gives you direct control over the temperature in individual rooms or areas of your home. It allows you to heat or cool the spaces you use the most to your preferred temperature while saving energy in areas that don’t need as much attention. This is achieved through a combination of thermostats, a central control panel, and dampers installed in your ductwork.
Here’s how it works:
- Thermostats connect to a central control panel.
- The control panel opens or closes dampers in your ductwork.
- Airflow is redirected to maintain the temperature in each designated zone.
This simple yet powerful system provides tailored comfort for every part of your home.
Customizing Your Zones
With a zone control system, you and your Gammon’s Home Services technician can design zones that make sense for your home and lifestyle. For example:
- Group several rooms into one zone.
- Create a separate zone for an entire floor.
- Designate each room as its own zone for maximum flexibility.
Whatever your needs, our experienced team will help you design a system that ensures comfort throughout your home.
The Benefits of Zone Controls
Two major advantages of a zone control system are cost savings and energy efficiency. By only heating or cooling the areas you’re using, you’ll save money on energy costs and reduce unnecessary strain on your HVAC system. Pairing your system with a programmable or smart thermostat can take this efficiency even further, offering precise temperature control for every zone.
