Zoning Systems
HVAC zoning systems
Zoning uses motorized dampers and separate thermostats so one system can send more air upstairs in summer and downstairs in winter. It is a common fix for two-story homes with one system.

Many Las Vegas and Henderson two-story homes have one system with the thermostat downstairs. Upstairs rooms run 5–10 degrees warmer in summer.
Zoning works best with a variable-speed or two-stage system and a bypass strategy that protects the equipment from low airflow.

Frequently asked questions
Is zoning better than a second AC?
Zoning is usually less expensive. A second system can make sense when the ducts can't carry enough air upstairs.
Does zoning work with any system?
It works best with variable-speed or two-stage equipment. Single-stage systems need careful design.
