Hot & Cold Spots at Home?
Expert Zoned HVAC Systems
in Charlotte, NC

Standard 2-zone systems cost $4,000-$6,000 installed. Advanced systems with 3-4+ zones, smart controls, or complex layouts run $6,000-$12,000. This includes dampers, thermostats, control panel, and installation. Free estimates. Financing from $45/month.

Zoning divides your home into areas (zones) with independent temperature control. Motorized dampers in ductwork open/close to direct air where needed. Each zone has its own thermostat. Cool bedrooms at 68°F while living room stays 72°F—you control each zone separately.

Typically 20-35% savings! Stop cooling/heating unused spaces. Close dampers to guest rooms during the day. Reduce second floor cooling at night. Charlotte's hot summers make this valuable—why cool empty upstairs when you're downstairs?

Depends on home layout and needs. Minimum 2 zones (often upstairs/downstairs). Common setups: 2 zones (floors), 3 zones (floors + master suite), 4 zones (floors + bedrooms + bonus room). We assess your home and usage to recommend optimal zoning.

Usually yes! Most Charlotte HVAC systems can be retrofitted with zoning. We verify your system has adequate capacity and compatible controls. Single-speed systems work but variable-speed systems perform better with zoning. We assess during free consultation.

Yes! Zoning reduces runtime by 20-40% because you're conditioning less space. Less runtime means less wear, longer equipment life. Charlotte's long cooling season is hard on HVAC—zoning helps it last longer.

Perfect solution! Charlotte homes have brutal upstairs heat in summer (sun exposure, heat rise). Zoning lets you cool upstairs more than downstairs, or only cool upstairs bedrooms at night. Solves the hot second floor problem without replacing HVAC.

Absolutely! We install smart thermostats for each zone (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell). Control from your phone, set schedules, monitor energy use per zone. Perfect for Charlotte's variable weather—adjust on-the-go.

Most installations take 1-2 days: Day 1: damper installation in ductwork, wiring. Day 2: thermostat installation, control panel setup, testing, programming. Minimal disruption—we work mostly in attic and at thermostat locations.

Zoning works with one system! That's the benefit—get multi-system comfort at fraction of the cost. Dampers direct airflow room-by-room. For very large homes (4,000+ sq ft), multiple systems may still be better, but zoning handles most Charlotte homes.

We install Honeywell, Zonefirst, EWC, and other quality brands. We match zoning system to your HVAC brand and control type for optimal integration. Some systems work better with certain HVAC brands—we ensure compatibility.

Absolutely! Hot/cold spots are exactly what zoning solves. Rooms with more sun exposure, poor insulation, or distance from HVAC get independent control. Charlotte homes with bonus rooms, additions, or cathedral ceilings benefit dramatically.

Minimal. Damper motors are reliable and rarely fail. Regular HVAC maintenance is still needed. We check damper operation during tune-ups. Zoning systems typically last 15-20 years with minimal issues.

Equipment carries 2-5 year manufacturer warranties. We provide 1-year labor warranty on installation. Quality zoning systems last 15-20+ years. We stand behind our work—we're a family-owned business serving Charlotte since 2008.

We're family-owned and design zoning to solve YOUR comfort issues—not sell the most expensive system. We assess your home's layout, usage patterns, and problem areas to recommend the right number of zones. Proper design makes the difference.
