About Zoning Systems

Different rooms, different temperatures, one system

Upstairs bedrooms that run warm and a basement that stays cool are classic one-thermostat problems. A zoning system uses motorized dampers in your ducts and separate thermostats to send air where it is needed.

We design zones by how you live, install the dampers and controls neatly and balance the system so each zone gets the airflow it needs.

How It Works

What Goes Into Zoning Systems

Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.

01

Dampers direct the air

How Zoning Works

Motorized dampers open and close in your ducts, guided by thermostats in each zone, so air goes only where it is needed.

It is most useful in multi-story and large homes with uneven comfort. We tell you honestly if your home would benefit.
