Hi,
I currently have a a forced air system in a two story home and have the common problem with the difference of temperatures on each floor. Therefore I am looking into separating the floors into zones. Through research on the web I found several systems that are available to do this using dampers. One system in particular that comes with good reviews is Honeywell. My issue is that the majority of the ductwork coming from the furnace is behind wallboard. Also, from what I can tell the main trunks coming from the furnace feed both top and bottom floor vents. ( not one side is top floor and other side is bottom floor). Based on what I have seen it seems that my only option is using bladder type dampers at each vent (16 total) unless I open walls and ceilings? Just wondering if anyone can provide any experience/help with this.
Thank you!
