Zone - zoning system - heating zone - Air Conditioning zone, heating and cooling zone, NJ Home Inspection home inspectionsZoning systems for air conditioning: Zoning system in your building should be considered a plus. Prior to the advent of zoning systems property owners would most likely have used multiple air-conditioning systems and heaters to warm or cool the various zones of the building. Properly installed, maintained and adjusted, zoning systems can save the property owner from 25 to 30% on heating and cooling bills. The system works, in part, by directing conditioned air, originating from one central unit, only to those rooms requiring it. Your system may be controlled by multi-zone thermostats or by multiple thermostats, which control dampers in the duct systems. Either thermostat configuration will require adjustments necessary for proper operation of the system. Adjustments should not be too difficult but at first may seem complicated. The initial adjustment of a zoning system should be performed by an HVAC contractor who specializes in indoor climate control systems. Inspection limitation: the inspector will not be able to fully test the system. You are advised to have the seller of the property explain the operation of the zoning system and/or have it reviewed and calibrated by a qualified contractor.
