  The key elements of zoning

• thermostats
• damper controls
• master control panel

  All elements of a zoned home integrate easily into today’s central heating and cooling systems.

Wireless Zoning Systems

The RedLINK™ story gets even sweeter when it comes to zoning. When used with our RedLINK-enabled TrueZONE® panels, our Wireless Adapter allows you to easily - and wirelessly - add zoning to a home or add more zones to an existing system. Most zoning jobs can be done in one day and bidding risk is virtually eliminated.

 

• TrueZONE® HZ432 or HZ322 panels are now RedLINK-enabled
• Add a Wireless Adapter and Wireless FocusPRO® thermostats to easily zone a home without running thermostat wires
• Works with the Portable Comfort Control to conveniently control every zone from one device
• Works with the Wireless Outdoor Sensor to display outdoor temperature and humidity on all thermostats

How will zoning make me more comfortable? Zoning lets you choose the comfort temperature you want, where you want, when you want it. You might keep areas where you relax, such as the living room and family room, a bit warmer. But you might want bedrooms, a recreation room and your kitchen a bit cooler. With zoning, you can have it your way

Which types of homes benefit most from zoning?  Every home has at least two zones - the living area and the sleeping area. Both zones are seldom used at the same time. Ranch homes, ramblers, split-level and multi-story homes all need zoning. Many homeowners create personalized comfort zones for their family room, recreation room, guestroom, home office and kitchen.

  Does zoning work with programmable thermostats? Yes, zoning works particularly well with programmable thermostats. Most people choose to heat or cool only the occupied zones of their home to save energy. A programmable thermostat can also save up to 30% on heating and cooling costs. Finally, programmable thermostats offer "set it and forget it" convenience by automatically raising or lowering the temperature.

 Will I save energy with zoning? Yes. When used with programmable thermostats, which automatically adjust the comfort temperature in a zone, zoning can save up to 30% on heating and cooling costs when compared with central, non-setback systems.

 During parts of the year some areas of my home need heating, while others need air conditioning. Can zoning address that?  Yes, it can. The newest generation of zoning control panels can juggle the demands of one zone calling for cooling, while another calls for heating. Both pieces of equipment can not run at the same time, but new zone panels can automatically sort out these conflicting demands and run your heating or cooling equipment as needed to provide optimum comfort in all zones.

 Zoning sounds attractive, but can my older home be zoned?  Yes, older homes can be zoned with simple modifications to the ductwork and some wiring for additional thermostats. Since many older homes may require significant ductwork modifications when replacing heating/cooling equipment, it is an ideal time to add zoning. Even if you're not ready to replace equipment right now, True Temp can usually recommend an economical way to add zoning.
