Air Conditioning and Heat Zoning Systems

Magic Touch is proud to be one of only a few companies in Arizona certified by Honeywell as an Authorized Honeywell Zoning Pro Contractor.

A Temperature Zoning System divides your home into "zones" - areas with similar heating and cooling needs. Each zone gets its own thermostat, plus automatic dampers in the ductwork. Your heating and cooling system delivers conditioned air only when, and where, it's needed. A control panel manages the activities in each zone from a single, convenient location.
The advantages of zoning are many, including:

Comfort
Prefer a cozy family room but a cool bedroom? Adjust the living and sleeping zones accordingly. Zoning lets you customize temperatures to fit your lifestyle.

Convenience
Forget "fiddling" with thermostats and registers. Zoning lets you automatically and precisely control temperature levels.

Conservation
When used with programmable thermostats, which automatically adjust the temperature based on when a zone is occupied and your level of activity, zoning can save you money on your heating and cooling costs.

Common sense
It's inefficient - and ineffective - to control temperature from a single thermostat. Zoning adds comfort - and can enhance your home's resale value.

Would a Temperature Zoning System benefit your home?

Do temperatures in your home vary widely between rooms and levels?
Does constant fiddling with the thermostat and registers produce more frustration than comfort?
Consider installing a Temperature Zoning System. By offering individualized temperature control for different areas of your home, zoning eliminates the "too hot up, too cold down" homeowners often experience during air-conditioning season. In fact, zoning can help you achieve comfort in all areas of your home, in any season. And it can save you energy and money, when used with programmable thermostats that automatically switch between comfort and energy-saving temperatures.

Imagine controlling all the lights in your home from a single switch. Silly, right?
Now imagine controlling the temperature of each room with a single thermostat. Fact is, it's nearly as impractical as the light-switch analogy. Especially if your home has:

Multiple levels
Sprawling design (wings or "ranch" style)
Lots of square footage and windows
Large open areas (vaulted ceilings, foyer, atrium, sunroom, etc.)

Ask your builder to include a zoning system in your home blueprint and budget. You'll take greater comfort tomorrow having made a wise choice today.

Existing Homes
The comfort and energy savings offered by zoning are available to owners of existing homes as well. Zoning can solve the problem of rooms being too hot or too cold. Even if much of your home's ductwork is covered by walls and ceilings, odds are a qualified contractor can install a comfort-enhancing zoning system at an affordable price. Here's why:

Today's best zoning systems offer an array of controller and damper options, giving contractors flexibility to install a solution that fits each home.
Installation needn't disrupt your entire house - much of the work is confined to your home's "mechanical room," attic or crawl space.
With the energy savings made possible by programmable thermostats, a zoning system can, over time, pay for itself.
