Is HVAC zoning worth it?

• <div><p>Definitely. Both experts and homeowners can attest to the convenience and efficiency of HVAC zoning. Not only does it make every room the perfect temperature—no matter what the temperature is for you—but it also saves energy (and therefore money) in the process. It is a costly up-front investment, but many homeowners agree that it’s worthwhile in the long run, especially if you plan to stay in your home for a while. </p></div>

Our furnace broke down so we needed a repair. Cancer has devastated our finances so we had no choice but to finance with them. They said they still needed to fix one part for the heater to work & that they'd be back within two weeks to fix it. It's been over two weeks & they haven't returned....

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

A dual evaporator coil is a specific design that allows the AC system to cool different compartments at different levels. It’s usually seen in refrigerators and similar appliances, but not in whole-house air conditioning systems. Talk with your AC technician about the best uses for a dual evaporator coil.

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

The standard rule for return duct sizing is that the return vent should be the same size or larger than the supply vent. This will ensure balanced airflow in your home and reduce strain on your HVAC system.

Definitely. Both experts and homeowners can attest to the convenience and efficiency of HVAC zoning. Not only does it make every room the perfect temperature—no matter what the temperature is for you—but it also saves energy (and therefore money) in the process. It is a costly up-front investment, but many homeowners agree that it’s worthwhile in the long run, especially if you plan to stay in your home for a while.
