If users have a large home with multiple stories or a large household with family members who prefer different temperatures, consider installing a zone control system.
A zone control system—or zoning—only provides the necessary cooling or heating that each zone in the California home needs at the time. It not only adds to the comfort level of the home but can also lower the energy bills.

At Tassio Temperature, they always look for ways to improve the comfort, health, and safety of homes and businesses in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a significant purchase—a big part of their job is to help ensure users get the maximum value from this investment.
To create a zone control system, their experts will place dampers in the ductwork
How Do Zone Control Systems Work? - To create a zone control system, their experts will place dampers in the ductwork that distributes hot or cold air throughout the Los Angeles home. Each zone users create is equipped with a thermostat that connects to a central control panel. When users adjust the thermostats in each zone, the control panel opens or closes dampers to distribute hot or cold air where needed.

Working with their team, users create the size and location of each zone throughout the home or business. Users can turn one room into a zone, or an entire floor. The zones should be areas that either have different temperature requirements or have specific areas that have had trouble maintaining temperature compared to the rest of a zone.
Whatever users decide, they can count on Tassio Temperature to help them achieve the most comfort in their home that comes with a zone control system. Installing a zone control is a money saver since it lessens the load on the HVAC system. The furnace or air conditioner no longer has to struggle to heat or cool every room in the home. Here are some ideal zoning situations:
- Homes with rooms that are hardly used
- Home with concrete slab foundations, large windows, or high ceilings
- Finished rooms in the attic or basement
- Homes with multiple floors or intricate floor plans
Huge energy savings
Reducing the stress on the HVAC equipment extends the service life of the entire system
Reducing the stress on the HVAC equipment extends the service life of the entire system. It also lowers the monthly utility bills. According to the US Department Department of Energy (DOE), heating and cooling the home accounts for upwards of 40 percent of the energy costs.
How do users know if they need a zone system? Most homes can benefit from a zone control system. If the home has any areas that are uncomfortable compared to the rest of the home or they have different temperature requirements throughout the home, this system may help. Larger homes with multiple systems also see huge benefits from a zone control system because there is no reason to heat or cool the home to a comfort level when some areas are not being used. Only maintaining a comfort level in occupied rooms can generate huge energy savings.
Many programable thermostats
Many programable thermostats also have WiFi features so users can monitor and adjust the heating or cooling in the home; only the necessary energy is being used when no one is at home, or when people are only using certain rooms at certain times of the day.
These are significant utility savings that can occur while also increasing the home comfort! Users will save money and make everyone in the home happy! What If I Close Off Vents? - The customers will occasionally ask if they can achieve the same result simply by adjusting the slats on the air vent covers. The answer is no.
Unnecessary energy expenses
Closing or partially opening a vent restricts the amount of air that exits the ductwork
Closing or partially opening a vent restricts the amount of air that exits the ductwork—but does not cause an air conditioner or furnace to produce less cold or hot air. By comparison, the zone control system not only redistributes airflow by operating dampers but also controls the HVAC equipment, signalling it when to run and when to stop. This eliminates unnecessary energy expenses.
Using air vents as a substitute for zone control may also contribute to air leakage and low airflow, among other problems. Those adjustable slats over air vents are designed to direct the flow of air into a room, not block it entirely.
Schedule an appointment to learn if a zoning system can benefit the Los Angeles, CA, business or home. At Tassio Temperature, they take great pride in building longterm relationships with the customers. They want to earn the chance to be their trusted source for all the heating and cooling needs.
