Time Temperature Zone Control
What Is Time and Temperature Zone Control?
Time and Temperature Zone Control is an advanced heating feature that allows you to control when and where heat is delivered in your home. Instead of heating the entire property to the same temperature all day, this smart control system lets you set specific times and temperatures for different rooms or zones.
Whether it’s warming the living room during the day or just heating bedrooms at night, zone control offers more flexibility, comfort, and efficiency.
It’s ideal for homes looking to reduce energy use, lower heating bills, and enjoy tailored warmth throughout the day — all while improving overall system performance.
- Set different heating times and temperatures for each room
- Improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs
- Enjoy more control, comfort, and convenience
How Does Time and Temperature Zone Control Work?
Time and temperature zone control allows homeowners to heat different areas of their home independently — based on specific times and temperatures. Rather than heating the whole property the same way, it gives you the flexibility to match heating to how and when each room is used.
Using programmable thermostats and smart valves, this system creates zones (e.g., living room, bedrooms, bathrooms) that can be controlled separately. You can warm the living room during the evening, lower the temperature in unused bedrooms, or schedule the heating to turn off during the day — all automatically.
Not only does it increase comfort, but it can also significantly reduce energy waste and lower your bills.
- Heat only the rooms you’re using
- Set different schedules for different zones
