Learn About Zone Heating at Home

Throughout a house there are rooms that are warmer and there are rooms that are colder. There can be many explanations for this uncomfortable situation.  For one, heat rises, so rooms on second or third floors are often too warm.  On the other hand, basement rooms are typically too cold while rooms with vaulted ceilings have a difficult time retaining heat.  These are just a few reasons, but regardless of why a room's temperature is uncomfortable, there's only one surefire way to even out your house's temperature this winter – Zone Heating!

What is Zone Heating?

Zone Heating is simply heating the zones/rooms you actually use in your house.  In areas of your house where it is consistently cooler you put in a supplementary heating solution and you're done!   Not only is zone heating helpful for houses with inconsistent room temperatures, but it's also great for heating individual bedrooms based on the desired temperature setting. If you have a usually empty guest room, just shut the door and turn off the heater.  It is simple and it makes sense!

Will it Save Me Money?

Zone heating according to the U.S. Department of Energy, can save homeowners up to 30 percent on a typical heating bill. Thus zone heating can help you save money on your annual energy bills, and those savings can add up to quite a sum over time. The Department of Energy also estimates that heating accounts for 40 percent of the average household's utility costs in the winter. Because guest rooms and other seldom-used rooms don't require constant heating, zone heating allows you to save money by temperature-controlled air to those rooms only when it is necessary.  

Many homeowners are hesitant to make the transition to zone heating because of the initial cost and learning curve. But do not worry it only takes a week or so of learning how to regulate your home.  Also, most people who switch to a zone heating style find they save up to 40 percent on their heating bill.  Therefore, the initial cost of investment has a quick turnaround.
