Zoning Systems and your Power Bill: How Churches Can Save Money
Whether your congregation is large or small, the cost of utilities is a common concern shared among churches of all sizes. Depending on the size of your church, your electric bill may be your highest expense, and your church may be looking for a way to cut your energy and increase savings. If your church is searching for ways to cut costs, you may want to consider zoning your HVAC. Zoning can help your church control where energy is best spent, and help you save up to 40% on your power bill. With that kind of savings, your system may even pay for itself.
What Is Zoning? How Does it Save Your Church Money?
Zoning your HVAC is a method of dividing up, or zoning, your building into different temperature areas. These rooms or zones can be controlled individually with their own thermostat, or as a whole with the use of a smart thermostat. A zoned system lets you control where your energy is spent, rather than wasted.
