What is an HVAC zone system design?

We’re in the market for our first home. Our realtor took us through one and was explaining the perks and features. They mentioned an HVAC zone system and I had no idea what they were talking about! I was a bit embarrassed, so I didn’t ask. What is an HVAC zone system design?

That’s okay! There’s a lot to think about and remember when looking at your first home. An HVAC zone system design is an HVAC system with separate zones or areas, allowing you to set different temperatures in your home.
For example, if you like your bathroom extra warm—but prefer a more moderate or cooler temperature in your bedroom, an HVAC zone system could allow you to set both areas to different temperatures.
With traditional HVAC systems, a central unit controls every air duct in the home, meaning you can only set one temperature.
A great way to think about a zone system design is how lighting works in your home. You can choose to have all the lights on, or only some. The same goes for the heating or cooling in your home.
HVAC zone systems are also becoming more popular due to their increased energy efficiency. It’s definitely a great selling point for homes on the market right now, which is likely why your realtor mentioned it.
