Homeowners looking to enhance their HVAC systems should think about implementing HVAC zoning. In an HVAC zone system, your home will be divided into multiple zones, allowing you to adjust the temperature and other settings independently for each area. This can lead to a reduction in your annual heating and cooling expenses by as much as 30%. Let our heating and cooling experts at Duane Blanton Plumbing, Sewer, Heating & Cooling give you an HVAC zone installation to lower your bills and reduce strain on your system.

Most central HVAC systems are suitable for zoning, meaning you can select from a wide range of heat pumps, furnaces, and air conditioners available on the market and set them up for zone control. You can also add it to an older system. The main upgrade necessary for an HVAC zoning system is a variable-speed air handler. Unlike traditional systems that have a blower operating at a constant speed, variable-speed blowers can adjust their speed according to the current airflow requirements.
Another important upgrade involves installing dampers in your ducts. Think of dampers as valves that can be opened or closed to regulate the amount of air flowing into specific sections of the ducts. This adjustment allows more air to reach larger rooms while restricting airflow to smaller ones. It also enables the distribution of conditioned air based on the thermostat settings for each zone.
You will also need at least one smart thermostat, and many systems are equipped with individual thermostats for each zone. These advanced thermostats contribute to savings in ways beyond zoning, such as automatic temperature adjustments, occupancy sensing, and energy monitoring.
Like standard central systems, a zoned HVAC system requires regular seasonal maintenance. Schedule a heating tune-up in the fall and a cooling tune-up in the spring. You will need a ductwork inspection annually. Regular HVAC zone service includes checking the air pressure balance, and duct balancing may be necessary if there are any issues with airflow. Some smart zoned systems can even remind you when you’re overdue for a tune-up and offer other performance and maintenance alerts.
An HVAC zone system provides many potential benefits:
- Quieter HVAC operation
- Improved indoor air quality
- Lower heating and cooling bills
- Custom temperatures in every room
- Reduced household carbon footprint
- Rebates, tax credits, and other energy incentives
