Forced Air Zone Controls Have Solved Comfort Problems

By Margaret Hughes


During cold and hot months, everyone wants to get warm and cool respectively by using HVAC systems. Most offices and households installed these systems due to this. There is a belief among experts on how controls can be applied in zoning. This results to improving comforts and conserving energy. Forced air zone controls are then born from this.

Its main principle is to have the single system controlled by several thermostats placed strategically in zones. That zone has zone dampers which control it located at the main supply line. These two are in the zone panel which operates its controls especially in regards to heating, cooling, and ventilating the place.

Absence of comfort is one issue here particularly between floors. This situation opposes the HVAC main function which is to give residents comfort. To ensure this, centralized controls on the system is put in place to allow air to flow in each one. As a result, heat and cold will be pumped out of the house through coiled pipes.

Additional room in homes will add to this problem. The reason lies on the fact that it will take longer for it to be comfortable until the contractors finished its construction. When they do, the central HVAC system will let the air to flow through its vents down the room. In addition, it will have good ventilation.

In relation, some home owners would like to have sun rooms built in the house. One function of this room is to have a place to enjoy the light of the sun without compromising its room temperature. They can expand the vents to here and have zone thermostats placed there to keep temperature at even warmth.

Moreover, different house floor plans let the interior and its exterior different from one house to another. It is next to impossible to have vents installed outside and proved to be a challenge. Since the HVAC is inside, they should focus on it more to ensure quality air to breathe. To do so, air filtration should be regularly maintained.

Certain conditions are caused by weather and its influences. Thus, temperature may either result to too much cold or heat. During those periods, outside temperature gets really extreme finding it hard to have comfort. Hence, this is why the HVAC is built. Do note that maintaining it regularly will ensure good working condition for a long time.

Equipment also proves to be an issue since it does produces heat once turned on. Some bigger industrialized household items are placed at sheds which does not affect the air inside the house. Induction stove and gas operated grills contributes to the heat inside the kitchen. Hence, both HVAC and range hood are used to minimize smoke and heat.

Lastly, vents are hard to build when a home has vaulted ceilings. With this, home owners require the expertise of HVAC designer contractors. Engineers will plan how to install HVAC which works well following the rules of heat transfers, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. Do note that the cost is expensive when doing installations and maintenance.
