Overview
The Aprilaire Zoned Comfort Control System has been
designed to increase comfort in your home and reduce
energy costs. It’s able to do this because it solves the
problem caused by various areas of the home gaining and
losing heat at different rates. Unlike conventional heating
and air conditioning systems, Zoned Comfort Control
knows, at any given time, which areas (zones) of your home
require conditioned air. With this information, the Zoned
Comfort Control automatically directs the air to the zones
that require it. Because of this, it will not only increase the
comfort level throughout your home, it will also condition
only the areas that need it, thus reducing your energy costs.
The components that make up the Aprilaire Zoned
Comfort Control System are the following: thermostats, a
Control Panel, air control dampers and heating and cooling
equipment, as shown in the illustration on the following
page. The Control Panel is typically located on an inside wall
near your heating and air conditioning equipment. The
dampers are located inside your air ducts in such a way that
each zone can be independently controlled. Thermostats,
placed in each zone, are directly connected to the Control
Panel.
