I’m eventually going to have Heating and A/C zone control in my house… Currently I live with central Heating and A/C which means HVAC duct is in my ceiling and is a series of metal pathways that lead to each room of the house, however each opening has a vent cover and that is what provides heating and air conditioning for the whole house.
The benefits of a central plan is that every room gets an equal share.
It is a pretty basic plan to get repairs and maintenance on! You never need to worry about replacement parts. I hate it though. I hate dealing with dirty HVAC duct and icky vents. I also don’t like that the central Heating and A/C unit takes up so much space in my closet. I have a big hallway closet that only holds the indoor unit and the water heater. I can’t fit a broom, mop or even a tote in here. It is a waste of space. Someday I am going to do a tankless water heater. Have you ever seen unit with that style of model? It is so small! I also want ductless mini splits in each room of the house. They serve as the indoor air handlers and free up closet space. With having a unit in each room with a thermostat, I can have zone control. I want zone control because my fiance loves AC so much. He constantly is cranking on the cooling system and making myself and others uncomfortable. I try to sneak in the heat whenever possible. With zone control all of us each can have our own spaces.
