You can live in a home that's comfortable on every floor, or every room, by installing a zoned heating/cooling system while your new home is under construction or being renovated.

A zoned heating/cooling system treats each area of the house independently, based on its distinct needs. The temperature of each area is monitored by its own thermostat so that the readings are accurate and can be adjusted independently of thermostats in the rest of the house.

The system that makes this all happen attaches to just about any type of heating/air conditioning unit. What is different from the normal heating/cooling system is the topology and the construction of the air ducts.

A zoned heating/cooling system consists of more than one main trunk line (traditional heating/cooling systems utilize only one trunk line). Plus, inside many of the ducts are dampers that control the flow of air into each zone (usually consists of more than one room).
