Is zoning right for me?
A simple two-zone system could be right for you if you wish to heat the rooms downstairs such as a living room, dining room and kitchen during the day and only heat the bedrooms upstairs in the evening. Alternatively, you may wish to consider adding extra heating zones if you have any of the following rooms that are used less frequently:
Study or home office
It is areas such as studies or home offices that are important when considering zoning as you almost never use these areas at the same time as you use the rest of the house. Zoning these areas will allow you to ensure that you don't use energy heating them when you don't need to or heat the rest of the house when you do.
Conservatory
Conservatories require separate consideration as they heat up and cool down faster than normal rooms. In the times when you require heating for your conservatory, make it a separate zone and that gives you full control over heating times and temperatures.
Guest bedrooms
Why heat all your bedrooms when you are not using them - make your guest bedrooms into zones, keep them frost protected and ensure that you only heat them when you need to - all the control you need to keep you comfortable and energy efficient
