Zoning A Ducted Air Conditioning System

Zoning allows you to turn on and off the air conditioning in certain areas of the house. This is done using your zone controller, which controls damper motors in the duct work to open or close allowing or stopping the flow of air to the selected area/zone. For example a two-storey house may have bedrooms upstairs and living area downstairs, in this situation upstairs and downstairs would be on separate zones, commonly called day/night zoning.

An important factor of zoning is to reduce the size of the unit required, therefore reducing the up-front cost.

In most circumstances not all parts of the home are being used at once. For example during the day the living area such as the kitchen and lounge room may be in use (zone 1), and the bedrooms may not be in use (zone 2), therefore you would switch zone 2 off and only air condition the living area. By doing this you will also save on running costs because you are air conditioning a smaller area.
