Zone control is the goal.
Someday I am going to have it in my house.
Right now I have a central Heating & Air Conditioning plan that uses ductwork to provide heating and air for the whole house. The temperature control has a single temperature on it, and that is what everyone is cooled or heated to. My hubby is such a temperature control hog. It regularly has to be set his way and to his comfort. He truly likes A/C and being a bit cool. In the Summer I wear pants and a sweater inside. In the Winter time I truly don’t need change since the furnace barely turns on! Every one of us honestly sleep in separate rooms because he likes a fan on and a thin sheet. I have to wear thick socks and sleep with a comforter. There are still days I freeze due to the A/C. When our Heating & Air Conditioning unit dies I am getting a ductless heat pump. Every room then will get an indoor air handler with an individual temperature control. I can then control the Heating & Air Conditioning for each room. My hubby’s living room and office can get blasted with AC. He can even not allow any heating in the residing room. I am going to control my room and the living room though. I can’t imagine not sleeping in a Winter time parka, however someday I won’t. It will be nice to for once be the right temperature. I can’t wait to honestly turn on the furnace in the wintertime. Right now it is a waiting game. The Heating & Air Conditioning is already pushing 20 years old. Any day now for me.
