Next Generation Zoning for RNC
2-Zone Comfort Controls are an effective alternative to traditional zoning - Typically priced about half the cost and installable in as little as two hours.
While the thermostat controls the activation of heating and cooling calls, the 2-Zone Comfort Control system monitors the upstairs and downstairs temperatures and uses modulating dampers to dynamically adjust the distribution of heating and cooling to the zones to provide whole home comfort and energy savings in every season.
