The Smart Way to Heat & Cool Your Home in Harris County
When you turn on the heating or air conditioning system in your home, where does the conditioned air go? If the air travels to every vent in your house, you have a standard HVAC system that runs from a network of ducts connected to a central air handler. These are the most common systems found in homes, conveniently and effectively providing conditioned air to every room. Though it is quite common, this system has one major drawback: The heated or cooled air goes to rooms that may not require it at the time.
Since you probably don’t need to heat or cool every room at the same time, zone control is the way you can control which parts of your house receive conditioned air when the HVAC system comes on. The team at Milton Frank Plumbing & Cooling installs zone control systems in homes throughout Harris County and the surrounding areas. Our heating & AC experts in Spring, TX can help you achieve energy savings and a more comfortable home.

How Zone Control Heating & Cooling Works
A zone control system consists of a series of dampers connected to multiple thermostats and a central control panel. Technicians place dampers into the ducts, one for each different "zone" in the house – you can determine how many zones you want. Each damper is then linked to a local thermostat to control it. The thermostats are networked into the control panel where all of the zones can be manipulated.
Zone control can be done as part of a new heating or cooling system installation, or it can be retrofitted for an existing HVAC system.
The Benefits of Installing a Zone Control System
Opting to have zone control in your home is a great decision for a lot of homeowners. Depending on the size of your home and its floor plan, you may significantly benefit from a zone control system.
Some of the major benefits to zone controlling include:
- Energy savings: You no longer need to waste energy sending heated or cooled air to empty rooms. This is especially beneficial for large homes and homes that have frequently empty rooms such as guest bedrooms.
- Individual comfort: If family members are often feuding over what temperature to set the thermostat to, zone control can resolve the problem. Each person can adjust the temperature where they are by manipulating the local thermostat.
- Climates to match rooms: Not every room requires the same temperature. Kitchens and home gyms need extra cooling, while an infant’s room benefits from a higher setting. Thanks to zone control, you can set each room to the temperature that best suits it.
If you are currently considering having a new heating or cooling system installed, or if you're looking to hire someone to repair your existing heating or cooling system, you may want to include zone control in the installation. Our team at Milton Frank Plumbing & Cooling is glad to do all the necessary work. When you want better comfort combined with savings, count on our heating & AC technicians in Spring, TX.
