HVAC Zoning System Orange County

Modern HVAC zoning systems can save an additional 30% in energy consumption. Why is that? 

There are 2 main reasons for the additional energy savings that can be achieved. #

First, modern HVAC zoning utilizes variable capacity equipment, which means that the air conditioning system can reduce its cooling or heating output based on the zones that are conditioning at a given moment, which results in significant energy savings. 

And secondly, variable capacity equipment is among the most efficient HVAC systems available today.

HVAC zoning should be considered when:

• Precise temperatures are required in different parts of the home.
• Some areas of the house cannot cool/heat to the desired temperature.
• There are unused rooms in the home which do not need to be cooled or heated.
• The home experiences ‘inadequate exposure’, meaning the sun causes uneven heat gain in some areas of the home, preventing the home from being comfortable.
• Energy consumption is excessive.

Total comfort is a must and not a want!

Depending on the size of the home, you may need 2-3 zones to resolve most comfort issues with a multi-zone HVAC system.

Yes, there can be some downside with HVAC multi-zone systems. As with most things that make life more enjoyable and comfortable, a variable capacity multi-zone HVAC system will require a bigger investment upfront.  

The required variable capacity equipment, the zoning dampers, the zoning control board, a duct system designed for zoning and additional thermostats, all add to the initial investment.  

Keep in mind, though, that due to the added efficiency and the savings from not overcooling certain areas of your home, the overall cost will fall back in line with a standard efficiency system over the service life of the equipment.

As part of a complete mechanical system replacement, the initial investment will add about 25%-35% of the cost to the project. 

Over the equipment’s service life, you will recover this added expense in energy savings (depending on usage patterns).

 Let’s take my house as an example: I have 6 zones, of which 3 are in rooms my kids used to live in and are therefore not used much. The remaining 3 zones are the common areas, the master bedroom, and the TV area. These 3 zones maintain the scheduled temperatures 24/7 without my interaction at all. My comfort is perfect, and my energy bill is significantly reduced. 

Also, note that we only cool/heat the master bedroom at nighttime. 

On the other hand, if you barely use your HVAC system, you will be able to enjoy near-perfect comfort, but you will most likely not recover the added investment from HVAC zoning.

Properly designed and installed HVAC zoning systems are highly reliable and require minimal maintenance. The key here is ‘properly designed & installed’. And that can only be done by an HVAC multi-zone expert like Haven Air Conditioning!

Usually, a new air duct system is usually required, designed specifically for individual HVAC zones. The mechanical equipment also needs to be compatible with the added zoning components.

California Title 24 regulations need also to be considered, as there are special rules that you must follow to comply with the law.

Any service provider can (and often will), but most should not. 

We are not kidding about this. We can fill a book with failed zoning system installations that we have encountered in the field, resulting in equipment damage and overall deficient system performance.

Zoning systems require special duct design and equipment matching training, which most Comfort Advisors do not possess. For every good zoning system installation, there are ten bad ones.
