What is Zone Heating and Cooling?

Zone heating is a process by which individual spaces and rooms can have their own temperature ranges, instead of just using one thermostat for your entire first floor, or second floor. By having a zoned system you are allowing the mechanical equipment to do less work, increasing the equipment’s working life and efficiency. Each room will then be allowed to have it’s own control or atleast a sensor to ensure it is in the specified temperature range. This is a very low cost option Frost Brothers can add to your system, reducing your utility bills by heating and air conditioning just the rooms that are occupied.

This also allows time to repair any possible air conditioning problems that occurred over the course of the other seasons.
