Changes to Your Life May Mean Changes to Your AC. Here’s How.

Are you making major changes in your life? Perhaps your children have moved out or your parents require care and are moving into your Covington, Louisiana, home. As your life situations change, ensure that your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system meets your new indoor comfort and energy efficiency requirements. Here are things to consider as you make changes.

Optimize Comfort With AC Zoning

Zoning defines areas within a building, each controlled by separate thermostats connected to a central control panel. If the upstairs is always warmer than downstairs, zoning solves the problem. You can define as many zones as you like. A certified HVAC professional can help you create zones that reflect your lifestyle, budget and indoor comfort needs.

Zoning works for both ducted and ductless systems. In ducted systems, dampers are installed within ducts. For single-zone ductless systems, individual blowers provide conditioned air to a room or zone. No dampers are required. In ductless multi-zone systems, dampers are installed at the air outlet.

Dampers regulate the amount and duration of airflow, opening and closing in response to temperature settings. HVAC professionals adjust air intake and output and regulate pressure throughout a building, called air balancing. Balanced systems use less energy to operate, enhance comfort and reduce stress on components.

Enhance Energy Efficiency

Rising energy costs are a concern to homeowners and businesses. New HVAC equipment offers energy-saving features, including variable speed compressors and blowers, smart thermostats, energy recovery systems and whole-home ventilators. Heat pumps, Energy Star-rated equipment and properly sized systems enhance efficiency. An experienced HVAC contractor can help you select equipment that optimizes efficiency and reduces energy usage.
