My partner & I purchased a actually large, actually old house in Plano, Texas, and my pal and I just cherish the local area & were thrilled by the high ceilings, big windows, wide front porch & hardwood floors & moldings, however it never occurred to us that the home would be especially difficult to heat & cool! With the actually frigid winters & long, hot & humid summers in Plano, temperature control is essential just about year round! The expense of heating & cooling is considerable.
- My partner & I were spending a fortune on energy costs, & the house was never quite comfortable, certain rooms constantly felt warm while others were frigid.
With one thermostat, my great friend and I couldn’t make an adjustment without affecting the whole house. Plus, my great friend and I were forced to heat & cool many empty rooms. I finally got in touch with a local Heating & Air Conditioning contractor in Plano & asked for a recommendation! He proposed upgrading the system to zone control. My pal and I now have a thermostat installed in each room. The Heating & Air Conditioning contractor implemented dampers into the HVAC duct that regulate airflow. My pal and I are able to set independent room-by-room temperature & make adjustments through an app on our smartphones. Not only is this set up far more convenient, however my great friend and I can tailor the settings to occupancy, preferences & the demands of the space. My pal and I have arranged programs that target temperature control to the family rooms at night while conserving energy during the afternoon. The zone control has significantly reduced wear & tear on the heating & cooling units. My pal and I are paying much lower energy costs, & hopefully the systems will experience fewer repair needs & last longer.
