Honeywell HVAC Zoning

Honeywell is well known for its extremely reliable and high quality HVAC systems, and the HVAC home comfort zoning makes no exception to the rule. If you are unfamiliar with the term “HVAC zoning”, we should give you a small example. You buy a simple thermostat and program it to heat up the temperature a set number of degrees. However, one room might be chillier or hotter on itself, due to solar heat coming from the windows or because it is more shadowy, thus cooler. Without a zoning system you will never get to provide a totally comfortable atmosphere in your home, because what is comfortable in your family room for example, might be to warm for the bedroom or the dining room.

Picture a 4 person family, each family member having different rooms and different temperature sensitivities and preferences. The father likes to spend his time in the living room and loves it to be cooler, the mother spends most of her time in her office room and likes it to be moderately warm, while the two kids sharing the bedroom are more sensitive to colds and need a higher warmth level. Now, with a normal thermostat and heating system you will never be able to please all four family members, because what will be a perfect temperature setting for one or two of them, will be totally uncomfortable for the rest of them. But with their HVAC Zoning system, you can program the temperature in each room or in each zone of your household differently and according to each member’s needs. You can turn the heat down a little in the living room for the father, you can leave a moderate temperature in the office room for the mother and you can turn the heating crank up a bit for the bed room, and the cold sensitive children. This way the whole family is safe and comfortable, with the help of the HVAC temperature zoning system.

HVAC temperature zoning systems can be either Network Zoning or Conventional Zoning ones and they require a HVAC zoning damper. Both options are of the highest quality and reliability settings, but they have slightly different applications and features. The HVAC temperature zoning systems work together with your other HVAC heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems, in order to harmoniously control air temperature and freshness of your home.

The Networked Temperature Zoning system is the most advanced system in the entire industry and it is one of the most configurable ones. The ease with which it can be installed is unparalleled and their Envira Com communications system and the patented control algorithms will keep your HVAC system efficiency, productivity and reliability to a maximum setting. The Honeywell HVAC Temperature Network Zoning system consists of the following HVAC components: a T8635L thermostat, a C7835 discharge air temperature sensor, conventional ZD rectangular or ARD round dampers, a W8835 zone control panel and either a W8735A or a W8735B access module component. These HVAC zoning components make your network zoning extremely easy and comfortable to use. You will be able to control two or three zones with the basic system, although it can be configurable to a maximum number of nine zones in case you need them.

The communicating thermostat of the Honeywell Network Zoning system features a bright LCD display that not only looks extremely hi-tech and sleek, but it also proves extremely useful in low light conditions, a lot of pre-programmed temperature settings, a proven energy saving program, easy temperature setpoint changes and the ability to be mounted almost anywhere you need it, regardless of the surface (as long as it’s solid).

Other applications of the Honeywell HVAC Zoning system are in the control of single or multi-stage heat pumps, in gas, electric, or oil heat pump thermostats, the control of conventional heating and cooling systems and many more. Its programmability range is for 7 day periods and can consist of three dial-up numbers for easier use, power outage memory programmability that allows the restoration of your settings in the case of power outages, zone name-based programmability, filter alerts and dial-out alerts.

Their second Zoning system is the Conventional Temperature Zoning. This HVAC zoning systems provide maximum flexibility with an ease of application and the benefits of event temperature control. There are several Zoning control models in this series, ranging from the flexible Honeywell EMM-3U model, to the full-featured Honeywell TZ-4 or the economical Honeywell EMM-3 model.

The Honeywell TZ-4 is a four-zone panel that is designed to offer changeover possibility from any zone thermostat. It includes single, dual or three-stage heating and two stage-cooling for most HVAC systems.

The EMM-3U control either single, multi-stage, conventional or heat pump equipment and it can be used in both two or three-zone applications in most HVAC systems out there. EMM stands from Electronic Minizone, which is a panel kit that controls heating and cooling equipment, also featuring a discharge air temperature sensor.

Other similar Conventional HVAC Temperature Zoning models include the TAZ-4 (TotalZone Add-A-Zone), the TMAC II (Timed Make-up Air Control) or the TVC (Timed Ventilation Control) systems. All of the Conventional series models are perfect for home HVAC appliances, offering 3 or 4 temperature control zones, which is more than you will need in a simple household environment. However if you are planning on temperature zoning in commercial or industrial environments, or if you have a larger house with a lot of rooms, you might want to consider the Network Zoning systems from Honeywell, which are more suitable for larger applications (some of them being able to control 9 zones at a time).
