Our residential services company is a local trusted Milwaukee service area HVAC professional that's been keeping thousands of homes comfortable for 45+ years.


Setting Up Separate Temperature Zones in Your Home

Would you like a different temperature in the basement than the rest of the house? How about in the living room, or in an unused bedroom? You can have a thermostat in a separate area (zone) of your home to control that zone's temperature to be different from the rest of your home. And save on utility bills by not heating/cooling an area (zone) that doesn't need it!

Why Consider a Zone System?

Do You Have...

  • Hot or cold spots
  • Vents in a room that's rarely used
  • A room with a large window(s), where heat and cold leak out of the window(s)
  • A family member who needs a different temperature in their living space?

Say goodbye to wasted hot or cold air, and set your zones to use only the energy that you need.

What's Involved in a Zone System

Zoning can be installed alongside forced-air or hydronic systems. Your home will have:

  • A thermostat for each zone
  • A zone control panel, which recognizes the temperature, turns off/on the HVAC unit to heat or cool the air, and opens/closes dampers to achieve the desired temperatures
  • Dampers for the ducts leading to each separate zone

An Extra Level of Energy Efficiency & Comfort

What are the benefits of a multi-zone heating & cooling system?

  • Increased Energy Efficiency: Because the system moves hot/cold air only into the necessary zones and out of the unnecessary zones, your energy usage decreases.

  • Utility Cost Savings: The less energy that's wasted, the more money you save heating & cooling your home.

    The U.S. Dept. of Energy estimates that multi-zone HVAC systems can save homeowners up to 30% on a typical heating and cooling bill.

  • Comfort Where & When You Need It: You can have the temperatures you want in the zones you want them in.

Who Will Gain the Most Benefits?

Homeowners with one or more of the following:

  • A multi-story home
  • A basement, finished or unfinished
  • A living space in the attic
  • High ceilings
  • Several large windows
  • A room over your garage
  • A sunroom
  • A large floor plan, especially with one or more wings

An Alternative for Heating & Cooling Zones

Consider Mini-Splits, compact all-in-one HVAC units that have several benefits:

  • Use in a ducted home in single zones with poor or no heat/cold, like attics or additions
  • Use in a ductless home for single zones or the entire home
  • Energy efficient, so may be more environmentally friendly compared to other systems
  • Since it runs only on electricity, it may be a cost-saving option, depending on your local electricity rates
  • There are federal and state offers rebates for energy efficiency upgrades
  • Flexibility in placing the indoor unit on a wall or ceiling
  • Remote controlled climate
  • Space-saving, since no ductwork is required
  • Much quieter than traditional systems
  • Improved air quality for models that offer advanced filtration systems
