The ABC's of Air Conditioning

Have you ever been caught up in the family "thermostat wars?" Or maybe you have unoccupied areas that do not need heating or cooling? Zoning heating and cooling allows you to divide your home into separate areas, giving you the comfort and control you've always wanted. The benefits of zoning include:

Comfort

Zoning meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area, without affecting other areas.

Efficiency

A properly designed zoning system can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year.

Control

Zoning divides the home into different areas and comfort into different levels, giving you more choices and control than ever before.

Quiet Performance

When combined with variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows your heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds also mean lower sound levels. Have questions about zoning your home's heating or cooling system? Call ABC Plumbing, we're here to help.
