Zoned heating and air conditioning systems provide homeowners with the ability to set specific cooling and heating temperatures for different areas of the house. Zoned systems act much like multiple light switches that independently control lighting in different rooms – multiple zone thermostats control temperatures in different areas of the home. For example, in the summer time your upstairs may get warmer than lower levels of your house. A zoned system allows you to have the AC running upstairs while leaving it off on those lower levels.
How does a zoned heating or air conditioning system work?
- Zoned systems do not involve multiple heating or AC units; rather, the air that is supplied by a single unit is distributed to appropriate areas of the home via “dampers” or valves.
- Each damper is in charge of controlling the airflow to a specific zone within the house. Zones can be categorized in a number of different ways (by room, floor, section, etc.)
- Zoned systems are controlled using multiple thermostats rather than a single thermostat. Each zone in the house will have its own thermostat which can be set to its own temperature. A single zone could be set to 72 degrees, for example, while another could be set to 74.
- When the air temperature in a zone exceeds or becomes less than the desired temperature, the heating or air conditioning system will kick on. Dampers for that zone only will open, disbursing air appropriately until the proper temperature is reached. Once that happens, the dampers close and the unit shuts down.
What are some of the benefits of a zoned heating or air conditioning system?
- Zoned systems are dedicated to heating or cooling specific portions of a home, ensuring that no energy is wasted on sections of the home that may not need to be heated or cooled
- Homeowners can adjust the temperature for specific sections of their house, ensuring the temperature in each section is set at an optimal comfort level

Completely Satisfied: To take advantage of the tax incentives, I decided to replace my main floor HVAC/heat pump earlier this year. 72 Degrees was by far the most professional and thorough of the 4 contractors I interviewed. Quoted price was fair and included everything I wanted and nothing I didn't...
Outstanding customer service is always worth it's weight in gold if you ask me. Had our home heat pump go belly up. The guys from 72 Degrees came out and gave me what I feel was an honest assessment of the problem. Heat pump DOA… I DID NOT shop around and I usually give myself all the time I need for a purchase this large. This is how impressed I was with the salesman, his professionalism and over knowledge of his product...
Outstanding Company. I would give them a 6 if I could. They were very prompt in getting to the job, as a matter-of-fact, they called and asked if it was alright for them to come 2 hours ahead of schedule. This was "NOT" a problem for me. The tech was friendly and knew what he doing. He offered me options that no other service provider offered. He was done in about an hour and I had my system working again. I would recommend these guys any day of the week.
Courteous, Professional, Company with fast response time. I have been using 72 degrees for over a year now and every time I call they are right there. Their technicians are courteous, and professional and very knowledgeable about any issue that you may have.
Member Comments: Everyone I interacted with was very professional as well as friendly. There were other groups that I looked at that were less expensive, but 72 has the BEST warranties out of the service providers I looked into. I know they stand behind it as well. One of my friends used them and had an issue after installation; he told me the fix was taken care of immediately, and the president of the company came out to make sure he was satisfied. These folks stand behind their name and that means a lot to me. 
72 deg. replaced my heating/cooling system. They were always on time , They called me to tell me when they would be working. The replacement was done very fast… 72 deg. had the right tools, manpower, and equipment to provide and install my new heating/cooling system. The front office worked hand in hand with the field crews to provide a super job "Well Done."
