Have a typical HVAC system now -- two stage furnace, 12 seer AC, no zones. There are eight main duct feeds.
I would like to set up a better system for keeping an even temperature in the house without having to rebalance the manual dampers in the ducts every month. I'd like to be sure that 72 degrees is 72 degrees in pretty much every room, and possibly be able to set my own office to be a bit cooler or warmer than the other rooms in the house. My assumption is: Zones.
Is this assumption correct?
I currently have the 2-way X10 thermostat from RCS. Runs pretty much flawlessly in my config. When "night mode" is activated, the temp sets back. Before my wife gets up, it starts to warm up. Usual stuff.
If my assumption is correct, I would have to use more than one thermostat (one for every room/zone I want to balance), right? Can someone give me a step-by-step, written for monkeys shopping list?
