I’m replacing the AC duct work in my house and want to add a second zone for the primary bedroom and bath. Multiple companies have said they won’t do it because it will freeze the system from the excess air when only one zone runs at a time. I know people that have ducted zoning so not sure why I’m getting push back. Anyone have experience with this?

I’m not sure but would guess that other people with ducted zoning maybe have a variable speed system so that when only one zone is open, the system runs at a lower speed. Running the full system to just one room sound like you are going to get a lot of back pressure which I’ve heard is bad for the system.

Fair point. It is a single stage system. I was just thinking that a bypass damper would fix the problem but guess not!

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
