I don’t heat or cool rooms that are empty, which reduces the workload of the system.
I am fortunate to be able to handle my entire workload from home, as long as I have access to the internet, I can complete my task, but this allows myself and others to wear my pajamas, set my own hours and avoid fighting rush hour traffic; However, once I started spending all afternoon at home, I needed to make some swings to my heating and cooling system. I was unwilling to pay to maintain the entire beach house at the ideal temperature when I’m confined to a single room. I contacted a local Heating, Ventilation plus A/C business and invested into a zoning system. There is a control component in each room, allowing myself and others to set independent hot and cold temperatures. With a zoning system, I can appreciate ideal comfort in my office without affecting the rest of the house. I can target higher or lower hot and cold temperatures to the dining rooms at evening and solve the concern of the residing room always feeling a little hot. My heating and cooling plan is now far more energy efficient. I don’t heat or cool rooms that are empty, which reduces the workload of the system. It conserves energy and saves cash on my energy bills… Plus, the beach house is genuinely more comfortable, and zoning caters to personal preference; My kids can turn the temperature up or down in their dining rooms without getting into an argument, then because every one of us aren’t putting as much strain on the furnace and air conditioning system, I can expect fewer malfunctions and a longer lifespan from the system. I like that I don’t need to get up from my desk in the middle of a workday to make adjustments to temperature. Through a smart control unit, I have access from an app on my smartphone and computer.
