Zone Heating

WHAT IS ZONE HEATING?

First things first.  Zone heating is simply the practice of turning down the central heating system and using zone heaters for additional warmth in the rooms used most often.  It’s something that’s practiced heavily in many other parts of the world to reduce energy costs and increase comfort and is now really catching on in America.

Zone Heating Isn’t Magic

It just feels that way.

While you’ll be amazed at how much money you can save without sacrificing comfort with zone heaters, the whole idea behind zone heating is very logical.  Zone heating reduces total home heating costs by focusing on three areas.

~Reducing the size of the total area being heated.

~Reducing the length of time that a specific area is being heated.

~Using heating appliances with higher efficiency than your central heating system.

Why pay to heat your entire house to your desired comfort level when you spend most of your time in only a few rooms?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, zone heating can produce energy savings of more than 20% compared to heating both occupied and unoccupied areas of your house.
