Is a Zone Control System Right for Me?

Monday, November 20th, 2023

Zone control is an interesting subject. Many homeowners think there are DIY solutions to reducing the amount of hot or cold spots that exist in your home, but things can get very complicated, very fast.

Your ductwork has to work with a lot of air volume and air pressure. Your heating unit in Avalon, Ocean City, or Sea Isle City is likely working to the exact specifications of your home’s air volume. The ductwork carries this air where it needs to go, but there’s enough pressure and force to push the heated air into the spaces of your home where you can feel it. If you mess with your ductwork or ventilation system, thinking you’ll be adjusting the comfort and treating a cold spot, you might end up messing with the air pressure of your ductwork and causing discomfort somewhere else.

Or worse—you might harm the efficiency or effectiveness of your heater! Keep reading to learn why zone control heating in Cape May County is a solid choice for our customers.
