If you are tired of having an imbalance in temperatures in your home or office building, you may be suffering from inadequate cooling options, with a solution option of zoning for your HVAC system. If during the summer months, it seems some rooms never cool off, or in the winter it seems some rooms never warm up while others do, you may need to consider zone systems for your residential or commercial cooling needs.
To determine if you should seriously consider changing your current ac system and retrofit a zone system or to have a new installation all together, consider the following:
- Some areas get hotter or colder than others
- Do you have multiple floors in your floor plan
- Do you have vaulted ceilings
- Do any of your rooms have floor to ceiling windows
- Do some rooms get little to no use
- Does a part of your structure lay over a basement
- Do certain users have different temperature needs than the rest
If you answered yes to two or more of the above questions, you should consider contacting Expert Air, your local HVAC contractor, to determine if a zone system is advised for your home or office.
