Buy White Rodgers: Zone Valves

White Rodgers is an excellent example of a company that started from scratch, only to achieve global recognition in a short time. This achievement was the result of their passion and commitment to making the best, most reliable HVAC parts on the market, which they did. Contractors, OEMs, homeowners and HVAC technicians all over the world, recognize White Rodgers as one of today’s biggest heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration components manufacturers. Their high esteem coming from the HVAC community is directly related to one of the manufacturer’s greatest products: the zone valve.   

Zoning temperature control is a feature of your heating or cooling HVAC system, which allows you to specify which zone of your house, building or commercial venue should be heated or chilled. For example, picture a family of three, where the father enjoys to read his morning newspaper in the living room and wants the air in the room to be refreshing and cooler, the mother is an accountant and works in the office room, where she wants a moderate temperature setting and their child, who is sensitive to cold, needs his bedroom to be hotter than the rest of his house, especially at night. Now, with a normal temperature control system, all three of them needed to use the same temperature setting, but with the new White Rodgers zoning control systems, the family can set the living room more chillier for the father, the office room to keep a moderate temperature setting and the child’s bedroom to be hotter, so he doesn’t get sick. All of this is done with a simple turn of a notch and a press of a button. Zone control valves play a major role in this process, since they are the ones that allow or block air flow, controlling the amount of heating that comes through the HVAC system.
