The Benefits of Zoned Heating and Cooling Systems in Kalamazoo
Balancing your heating and cooling can be difficult in a place like Kalamazoo. Here in Southwestern Michigan, we know that temperatures can spike and plummet in a matter of hours. For instance: How many times have you felt that spring was finally here just to wake up the next morning and find snow on the ground?
Luckily, heating and air conditioning systems have come a long way in the past century. Gone are the days where homeowners must grin and bear uncomfortable heat and cold. With modern advancements, HVAC is not only more affordable than ever—but also more intelligent than ever.
In this month’s blog post, we’re discussing how you can use zoned heating to keep your home at the perfect temperature.
Mini Split Systems for Individual Room Cooling
Without a doubt, mini split systems are one of the coolest advancements in heating and air conditioning. Unlike conventional furnaces and air conditioning, mini split systems excel at keeping different rooms of your home at consistently different temperatures. With a mini split system, you can adjust the temperatures of each individual room it’s installed in with the click of a button. That means entire families can select their different preferred temperatures without affecting someone else’s. Say goodbye to fighting over the thermostat!
For such an advanced temperature control system, you may be concerned about how much work it takes to install. Luckily, mini split systems are easier to install than most traditional heating and cooling systems. Instead of hefty, expensive ductwork, mini split systems only require a small outdoor unit and a tiny hole in the wall to run the piping through.
Heat Pumps for Efficient Heating and Air Conditioning
Most zoned heating systems such as mini split systems use heat pumps to manage multiple heating needs at once. As the name describes, heat pumps pump the heat out of your home and into the outdoors, cooling your home down as a result. As a byproduct, the heat pump generates its own warmth. Pretty simple, right?
However, the beauty of a heat pump is in how it warms your home during the cold months. When the winter hits, heat pumps harvest the heat they produce as a byproduct and pipe it back into your home.
What’s genius about heat pumps is how little energy they take to function. Heat pumps are mainly designed to move existing hot and cold air from one place to another, which takes significantly less energy than generating heat and cold where there is none. And in cases where there isn’t enough hot/cold air to move, they can generate it using their refrigerant. As a result, heat pumps provide stunningly affordable, quiet, and effective heating and cooling year-round.
