I proceeded with the upgrade, & I have been truly gratified with the change in temperature
Recently I was given the chance to transition from a job with a commute, to a job from home, however i was truly excited about this change, because I could spend close to 45 minutes just driving one way to work each day. I was so excited when I prepared my current apartment office & set up my current work area, but my first day of at-apartment work came, & I noticed that the temperature seemed to be truly high, then as my breaks came, I went to adjust the thermostat on our bottom floor, & would walk back up the stairs & notice a big difference in temperature; Having been gone most afternoons to work, I never noticed the temperature difference between our upstairs & downstairs. My office was upstairs, so I knew I would need to find some way to bring the temperature down. My office also was facing an section that got a lot of sunshine during the day, so this did not help with the heat I felt. I initially bought some curtains to help keep the sunshine to a minimum, but this did not help how I wanted it to with temperature control. I finally reached out to our HVAC company to come & evaluate our system, but the HVAC company recommended a zoning system. They instructed me that a zoning system would allow me to control the temperature in my office separately from other rooms in the house. Hearing this, I immediately knew this is what I needed to do. I proceeded with the upgrade, & I have been truly gratified with the change in temperature. I now feel comfortable in my office, & I do not have to waste my split time increasing the downstairs thermostat.
