If you’re looking to save money on your residential cooling bill once the heat and humidity in Englewood, Florida really kick in, now is the time to contact one of the Symbiont Service Air Conditioning professionals about the installation of a zoned A/C system for your home. We are going to explain the benefits of zoned HVAC for your home. 

Having your home set up in “zones” means the HVAC system will cool (or heat, when necessary) a specific area or room in your home based on its temperature. For example, the kitchen may require more cooling power than the living room and when it is cooled by zone, that will occur without your having to lift a finger. It all starts with zoned heating and cooling.

When you don’t have zoned heating in your home, you are looking at cooling rooms that may not need it as often, rooms that are too cool and rooms that are never cool enough. Without zoned HVAC you’re cooling the home in an inefficient manner.

The Symbiont Service residential and commercial HVAC professionals get asked all the time, “what seasonal maintenance care does my HVAC unit need?” The answer is – it depends on the season BUT we know that homeowners and commercial business owners in Englewood, Florida certainly don’t want to leave any HVAC issues to chance, not when our hot humid season is approaching.

The HVAC unit (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) in your home or office is crucial to the comfort in your home or office year round. In the cooler months, it keeps you warm and comfortable in the hot, humid months it keeps you cool and safe. A home that is too hot and humid can lead to health issues, especially in senior citizens.

When summer – or even spring – arrives in Florida turning on the air conditioner is something that is done every day. If you have talked with one of our residential geothermal HVAC professionals from Symbiont Air Conditioning they may have said, it’s not necessary to run the AC when you’re not home.

Many homeowners feel that it’s best to come home to a cooled house instead of walking into a home that is hot and humid after having been out in the heat and humidity. We know that you don’t want to come home and feel uncomfortable.

Because you want to come home and be immediately cooled, you may think that turning the air conditioner on and turning it up when you’re away is a great idea. It really isn’t. Coming home and having to wait for the house to cool down to your liking isn’t something many homeowners want to do. That is the reason many homeowners turn on the air conditioner and leave it on all day, every day, regardless of whether anyone is home.
