A dual-zone air conditioning system is a network of duct dampers and thermostats that regulate the amount of conditioned air each room, usually one or more rooms, receives throughout the day. Zoning technology enables homeowners to only cool the occupied rooms of their house at any particular time or to set varied temperatures in various rooms of their home. This is an ideal solution, especially if you have spaces in your home that are hard to heat, such as the basement or an attic loft. A dual zoned cooling system breaks your living space into different zones, each zone controlled separately by multiple thermostats. What makes this technology effective is the electronically controlled dampers positioned in your ductwork. AC dampers are similar to a valve that regulates your cooled airflow all through your home. The second crucial part of your dual zoning air conditioning is the thermostat. A thermostat is positioned strategically in each zone for it to control the electronically controlled dampers in your air ducts. If a zone requires more air from your air conditioning system, your thermostat sends signals to the damper to open up and allow more air through. The same happens if a zone has achieved its desired temperature. Your thermostat sends signals to the damper to close to prevent more air from coming in, rather, to send the air to the rest of the zones in your home. Dual air conditioning benefits homeowners in that they can achieve more even temperature distribution, and they can provide comfort levels as per the preference of different family members.
