My current home is nearly two hundred years old as well as around 3,000 square feet.
While I love the high ceilings as well as sizable windows, the current home is hard to heat as well as cool.
It’s divided into a whole bunch of smaller rooms that all of us rarely use. We’ve knocked out walls to make the family room as well as family room greater as well as more open. We’ve also renovated as well as changed the configuration of the master living room as well as converted a guest living room into an extra lavatory. All of our fluctuations led to some problems with temperature control! Both of us were heating as well as cooling empty rooms to the ideal comfort level. The master living room would get harshly hot as well as sticky while I was in the summer. The family room always felt cold. With no way to target particular rooms, all of us were living with discomfort as well as paying sizable energy bills. I realized that making some substitutes to the heating as well as cooling system would pay for themselves in yearly cost savings. I contacted a local Heating as well as A/C corporation as well as asked for recommendations. As soon as the professional saw our setup, he immediately advocated all of us convert to zoned control. Both of us were blessed that all of us were able to make improvements to our existing heating as well as cooling system rather than install all new. All it took was the upgrade of some dampers into the ductwork to regulate airflow to particular rooms. Both of us now have a control component mounted in each room to control the direction of the airflow. Because they are smart control units, I’m able to make adjustments through an app on our smartphone. It’s easy as well as convenient to raise or lower temperature in a single room without affecting any of the others, but upgrading to zone control has significantly reduced the workload of the oil furnace as well as cooling system as well as certainly trimmed our energy bills.
