Zoning
Your home is your kingdom. It's your refuge from the elements all year long. Unfortunately, most homes aren't as comfortable as
they should be. That's because there's only one thermostat to control the varying temperature needs of the entire house. The solution
to this problem is the Carrier Zone system.
Listed below is an explanation of a two-zone system. We've also installed three & four zone systems when it's appropriate. Carrier has had a firm grasp on heating and cooling since 1903. By
offering effective and reliable products, we've maintained the trust of homeowners just like you all across America.
Single-Level Zoning
Single-story homes are challenging because living areas as well as bedrooms are spread out across one level. The comfort needs in these
areas often change as the day goes on, and there's only one thermostat for the whole floor.
Single-level homes are notorious for shifting hot and cold spots as the sun moves throughout the day. Large trees, the direction the
home faces, large windows, skylights and fireplaces may also greatly affect indoor temperatures.
Zoning Solutions
Separate the living areas from the bedrooms. Carrier's Zone System can supply more comfort to the areas that are being used
while maintaining greater economy in areas that are not.
Another option is to divide your home according to Mother Nature's comfort schedule. If the sun's effects keep the front rooms
warmer in the morning and colder in the afternoon, zoning can help you maintain more consistent temperatures all day long.
Multi-Level Zoning
 Multi-story homes cause problems because warm air naturally rises and cold air naturally falls. One thermostat simply cannot
keep the entire home consistently comfortable.
 Large great rooms, the effects of Mother Nature, high ceilings and many other variables make controlling indoor temperatures
difficult.
Zoning Solutions
The most likely solution in a multi-level dwelling is to separate the upper floor. Typically, this means keeping the
bedrooms separate from the main living areas. D & M Heating will analyze your needs and develop a plan to make your home a more
comfortable place to live with Carrier’s zoning equipment.
