There is a solution! It's called Zoning.

Zoning divides your home into areas with common heating and cooling requirements. Each zone is controlled by its own thermostat, allowing you to be comfortable no matter where you are in your home. Zoning also allows you to leave unoccupied areas without heating or cooling, saving you more money on energy costs.

Think of how much energy you could save if you could control which rooms in your home were heated and cooled, according to when you use them. With the standard heating and cooling systems installed in most homes, there is one thermostat to control the temperature equally for every room in a house. But all rooms are not created equal, and maintaining temperature uniformity is a challenge, especially in multilevel and those with large windows and vaulted ceilings. When one central thermostat is responsible for controlling the temperature of a large area, the indoor temperature can be uneven, and hot and cold spots can exist. Plus, you are often paying to heat and cool rooms that are completely unoccupied for hours or even days.

Examples where Zoning can be beneficial:

	Rooms that require a different level of comfort (baby/s room or grandma’s room)
	Rooms that are “part time” (bedroom of college student or guest bedroom)
	Rooms that are difficult to maintain uniform comfort (bonus room over garage or two story areas served by one system with one thermostat)
	Rooms with a much smaller heating and cooling requirement (basement)
	Rooms that are unoccupied for the majority of the day (master suite, formal living and dining areas)
	More than one level. Heat rises and exposed rooms can turn cold.
	A room or rooms with expansive glass areas can become quickly overheated or cooled.
	Large open areas such as vaulted ceilings or lofts, an atrium, or a solarium.
	A layout that rambles in many directions like a ranch or has wings extending off the main living area.
	Furnished rooms in the basement or attic.
