What Is Zone Control?

Do you have certain areas of your home that always seem to have inconsistent temperatures no matter what you do? One way to remedy issues like this is with hydronic heating in Atlantic City, NJ, a comfort option offered by Barron Plumbing & Heating that also allows for zone control – which is what we’re going to talk about below.

How Does Zone Control Work?

Whether you have a hydronic baseboard heater or a similar type of heater, the basic concept of zone control is to allow comfort to be controlled in specific areas of your home. With hydronic systems, zone valves and specially designed controls are used to allow for precise control over heating preferences.

What Can a ‘Zone’ Be?

A “zone” can be any area of your home. It can be one floor of your home, certain rooms that are adjacent to one another, or a single room. For instance, you may have hydronic radiant floor heating set up so that it provides even heating on your first floor and a separate zone set up for the upper floors.

When Is Zone Control Worth Considering?

The concept of zone control can be applied to any type of heating system, including hydronic ones. It’s something to consider if any of the following factors or circumstances apply to you:

• You have a multi-story home
• You have a “rambling” floor plan that doesn’t easily allow heat to evenly circulate
• You have a home with large open areas that make it difficult to heat individual spaces
• You have people in your household with different comfort preferences
