Santa Fe, NM Zone Control Services by Roadrunner Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing

Centralized forced air systems have been the most popular method of heating and cooling a home for a long time. They’re relatively cheap, effective, and widely available. Despite their popularity, though, forced air systems do have a couple of disadvantages associated with their use. Chief among these are efficiency and control problems.

A forced air system is often only controlled by one thermostat, which means it heats or cools the entire house based on the temperature in a single area. This does not account for differences in the warming or cooling rate in different rooms, several of which are likely insulated differently. As a result, a forced air system can easily create hot and cold spots where some rooms receive much more output than they need.

The second disadvantage is that of versatility. A central forced air system can typically condition the entire house, or not. There is no way for it to vary its output to different rooms, which leads to a lot of wasted energy conditioning one or two rooms that need it while the rest of the house doesn’t.

Fortunately, there’s an answer to these disadvantages: zone control. If you’d like to know more, or schedule an appointment, call Roadrunner Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing today.
