HVAC Zoning
Separate temperature control for upstairs and downstairs or different parts of the house.
In a two-story house, upstairs is often hot while downstairs is cold, because one thermostat can only read one spot. Zoning splits the house into areas with their own thermostats.
Motorized dampers in the ductwork open and close to send air where it's needed, so each zone stays at its own temperature.

Zoning FAQ
Can zoning be added to my existing system?
Often, yes, depending on the ductwork and equipment. Variable-speed systems handle zoning best.
Is zoning or a mini-split better for one problem room?
For one room, a mini-split is often simpler. For whole floors or several areas, zoning usually makes more sense.
