A ZONEFIRST Zoning System along with a central forced air HVAC System creates the ultimate experience in terms of COMFORT, ENERGY SAVINGS AND CONVENIENCE. Allowing you to live in and raise your family in a healthy, clean environment with other features such as air cleaning, humidification, de-humidification and ventilation.

New home installation is typically less expensive than the cost of retrofitting existing homes. Charges would vary based on the accessibility for running thermostat wires and designing the duct system for zoning; existing systems may need duct modifications to accommodate zoning. The costs would further be determined by the type of HVAC equipment (furnace/air conditioner vs. heat pump), type of thermostat (setback vs. non-setback), etc.Installation of a ZONEFIRST Zoning System provides substantial savings over installing an additional HVAC or “split” air-conditioning system. Additionally, one unit compared to two saves money in operating costs and energy. Maintenance costs are also decreased when comparing the expense of replacing dampers to the inevitable replacement of a furnace or air conditioning unit every 10-15 years.
