One thermostat setting does not fit every room and all specific comfort preferences in your Phoenix, AZ, home.
One family member enjoys AC on full blast, and another prefers to dial it back.
Even if your high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system maximizes energy savings and significantly improves your comfort, it cannot customize your comfort in Greater Phoenix.
Enter HVAC zone controls, a solution that appeals to everyone.
How HVAC Zoning Works
With a zone control system, you can say goodbye to one-size-fits-all heating and cooling. Zoning lets you set different temperatures simultaneously in designated areas throughout your Greater Phoenix home, resulting in optimized comfort, reduced energy use, and lower utility bills.
Our qualified professionals at Desert Diamond Air can help you divide your home into temperature zones. We will install a thermostat in each zone and strategically place dampers in your ductwork. The dampers will open and close independently in response to corresponding thermostats.
If you want more air conditioning in a particular zone, its thermostat tells a central control panel to open the zone’s damper. If you want less, the damper closes. You can change the temperature in one zone without affecting comfort in another.
What Is an HVAC Zone?
There are several ways to define a zone:
- You can divide your home by floors, wings, rooms, occupied and unoccupied, whatever works best for your circumstances. Choose between a single-zone or a multi-zone HVAC system.
- If you have a south-facing room, especially with ceiling-to-floor windows—that’s a great candidate for HVAC zoning. So are finished attics and basements.
- Adding a guest room? HVAC zoning lets you maintain a different temperature in that one room until the guest arrives!
- You can designate an unoccupied room as a single zone, or create multiple HVAC zones to correct hot and cold spots throughout your Greater Phoenix home.
- HVAC zoning, especially in larger homes, saves money and improves comfort significantly. Let our experts at Desert Diamond Air recommend zones that will make a difference in your comfort and budget.
We can suggest HVAC zoning tips that appeal to your family’s preferences and save on energy bills.

HVAC Zoning FAQs:
-
Can I create HVAC zoning without ductwork?
Ductless zoned heating and cooling uses a heat pump and one or more indoor air handlers. Each air handler creates a zone that works independently with a thermostat. These ductless mini splits are incredibly energy efficient and help you keep more money in your pocket. They are the perfect solution for heating and cooling accessory buildings, such as backyard offices or in-law suites, enclosed porches, and home additions.
-
Can I create HVAC zones by closing registers?
Closing an air vent register blocks conditioned air from entering a room at the expense of system energy efficiency and longevity. Closed vents increase pressure on your HVAC system, stressing air ducts and coils. HVAC zoning redirects airflow through entire stretches of your ductwork, benefiting your heating and cooling equipment.
