Heater Repair Grey Forest, TX
Boerne Air Conditioning Experts is the leading professional service for all your heater repair needs in Grey Forest, TX and the surrounding communities. Most homes that we visit have some sort of issue with even temperatures throughout the home. This causes a lot of headache and additional wear and tear on the system. For instance, if a thermostat is located downstairs but the bedrooms are upstairs (which is where everyone sleeps at night) imagine how uncomfortable the whole home can become! Some homeowners simply turn their thermostat down to 60 degrees to get the upstairs a little more manageable. Then, the downstairs is freezing and the upstairs is a little bit better—but still not where it should be. How frustrating! On top of all that, your system is working harder and longer to try and make the home more comfortable. This means a shorter life span, higher utility bills and still no comfort.
Some homeowners begin thinking that they need an additional system to take care of the upstairs. In most cases, simply zoning your home heating system can be the perfect solution; however, one damper closes while another opens. An upstairs that is always warm? The majority of the summer that zone would be open and cooling while the downstairs zone would be off. This allows the system, designed for the square footage of the whole house, to now send all that air directly where it is needed. Sometimes a zone can be small enough that we install a “bypass damper”. The furnace fan motor has no way of decreasing how much air it is pushing through the system so the bypass damper allows the extra air volume (not going through the entire system) to cycle right back through the system. This is a really vital part of a zoning install and can really make the difference. Many professional companies install bypass dampers on every zoning application as long as the application allows the space; however, many cheaper zoning install jobs are missing this critical component for zoning your house. |

There are actually many benefits to zoning your home. Zoning your house allows the heating and air to go to certain parts of your house without going to others. This is achieved through mechanical dampers that communicate with 2 or more thermostats throughout your home. This allows you to have 70 degrees in one zone while having 64 in another. Most zoning systems can operate up to 4 thermostats right out of the box. And some controls even allow us to expand further for larger and more complex homes. Not all heating and air systems fit all sizes. Most contractors install equipment based off of the square footage of the home and not based on the layout of the rooms and use of the house. At Boerne Air Conditioning Experts, we see a lot of theater rooms that get incredibly warm while homeowners are using it—the tv, all the people crammed into a tiny room. It gets hot real quick. Zoning would allow you to turn just that room on for cooling while the remainder of the home stays off.
Install costs vary (you knew we would say that) based on the extent of work needed. Each separate zone and damper has to be separated onto it’s own run to be controlled separately from the other ductwork. The need for more zones also raises the cost.
