Ever notice how the second story of your home is always stifling, while the first floor is practically Arctic all year round? That’s not a coincidence. Homes often have hot and cold spots—places where the angle of the sun, the physics of heat, and the home design all sync up to cause temperature fluctuations from room to room. Inconsistencies like these are why HVAC zoning systems were created. With zoned heating and air conditioning, instead of one temperature setting for the whole house, the building is divided into two or more “zones,” each with its own set of controls and programming. It can help you split the difference in homes with hot and cold spots, multiple floors, or just iron out different temperature preferences among family members. Multi-zone heating and cooling systems have many benefits—energy efficiency among them—but they’re slightly different than your average furnace, heat pump, or AC. Here’s what makes them so special.
Average Americans spend nearly 90% of their time indoors. For the infants, the elderly and the urban residents, this percent of time is likely to be higher.
Although the cost of energy has decreased slightly over the last year, that does not alter the intractable trend of ever increasing energy prices.
The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters.
Let’s face it. We have a lot of really nice warm (and some unpleasantly so) weather in Florida and we’re all a tad bit spoiled. We get cold…
A common problem in product design—particularly in electronics—is managing thermal conditions for optimal efficiency.
When you think of your HVAC system, you might think of the bulky air conditioners that sit outside your home or the furnace in your basement.
In the retail appliance environment, nothing lasts forever. When it comes to the components that make up your home’s HVAC system…
