We have created this page for those who would like to know more about the options available to them in air conditioning for their homes.

Here you will find an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the air conditioning options available in the market, so that you can be fully informed before you decide what the most suitable solution is for you.

Our main focus will be ducted air conditioning systems because we think this is the most comprehensive solution for domestic air conditioning, as it covers all air conditioning requirements with just one unit, it is the least noisy one and it does not affect the decoration or the esthetical appearance of your house façade. It is also architects’ preferred solution as it provides many options of integration. This is confirmed by the increasing number of properties with planning for pre-installed ducts.

If you feel your queries about air conditioning your home are not answered, please write to us and we will try to help you.

What is CrossZone?

Sometimes new technologies also introduce new problems at the same time as solving old ones: computers cause headaches, mobile phones interfere with our holidays, cars make us spend hours in traffic jams… When talking about air conditioning systems, the problems that come to mind are colds in August, electricity bills, or the fact that we cannot buy the furniture we like simply because it won’t fit after we have had an air conditioning unit installed in each room. An intelligent solution is what can help us forget these problems. And that is just what CrossZone does.

What CrossZone does?

It divides your home into zones and keeps the required temperature in each of them. This way, every member of your family can be comfortable and enjoy the right temperature: you can choose a higher temperature for the children’s room so that they don’t catch a cold, you can lower it down in the living-room for dinner with friends or even disconnect the air conditioning in the bedroom during the day when you don’t use it. All of it using only one air production unit.

How it works?

Each bedroom requiring air conditioning is fitted with a motorised grille and a digital thermostat. The thermostats analyse the temperature of each zone and if the temperature of one room needs to be modified, the grilles are opened in order to let either cold or hot air in, depending on the time of year. As soon as the temperature of the zone reaches the set point, the thermostat closes the grilles. This modular system allows a different temperature for each bedroom of the house from a sole air conditioning system.

How to choose an CrossZone system?

On choosing the system that suits your home, you should take two factors into account: selecting the master thermostat and the combination of zones.

The master thermostat controls the full installation. It is usually fitted in the living-room, but you can install it in any room of your house. You can use it to shift the system’s operation mode from cool to heat. If every member of your family has stable timetables, the best solution is a Cronos thermostat. If the zone where the master thermostat will be installed is large and has several uses, the Free thermostat is also an interesting option.

All CrossZone systems are fully compatible. You can combine different systems in one house: you can install Plus Cordless thermostats in the bathrooms and the kitchen to avoid breaking tiles, a Free thermostat in the living-room and main bedroom and a Cronos thermostat in the children’s bedrooms.

CrossZone has 5 different types of thermostats available to suit different needs:

	CrossZone Free This is a thermostat – remote control. The most obvious advantage is that you can control the airflow from the comfort of your sofa (bed). But, additionally having a thermostat at hand will enable the taking of the temperature at the exact place where you are. This feature is especially useful for the living-room, as this is the room that is divided into two different zones depending on their use: the television zone and the dining-room zone. CrossZone Free will take the temperature of the room chosen by you.
	CrossZone Plus Cronos The programming options of this system ensure the air conditioning of your home fits around your timetable. You can create two different programs for working days and weekends, use the same program seven days a week or have one program for each day of the week. The system is very useful in bedrooms, as they have very specific use timetables.
	CrossZone Cordless Cronos The system has the same programming options as CrossZone Cronos, but the thermostat is cordless, i.e. cable-free, for an easy and fast installation, free of building work.
	CrossZone Plus Digital thermostat for to control the temperature. Is the easyest way for new buildings.
	CrossZone Cordless The system provides the same ease of use as CrossZone Plus, but the thermostat is cordless for an easy and fast installation, free of building work.

How to install?

If you have a central air conditioning installation, all that is required is the replacement of the grilles of your house without any need for building work to be carried out and the installation of a small thermostat in each room to be air-conditioned by CrossZone. The CrossZone installation in a room can take approximately 1 hour.

If you have a ducted air conditioning pre-installation, CrossZone can be installed together with the central air conditioning system without any building work necessary in just half a day. Additionally, CrossZone will help you save, as it allows the use of a lower power unit to reach the same level of comfort.

If you don’t have a ducted air conditioning pre-installation, some amount of building work will be required. A professional installer will help you estimate the times and costs.

7 reasons for engineers or architects

The General principles for thermal Installations in buildings require the use of zoning systems for air conditioning installations.
CrossZone can reduce up to 50% of the installed electrical power that results unnecessary for air conditioning. This reduces the load at the processing centre and electricity consumption peaks in the summer.
CrossZone can provide a solution for the air conditioning needs of a house with lower-power equipment, which can reduce the final installation costs and, in some cases, eliminates the need for a three-phase installation of large houses.
CrossZone is the most economical alternative in terms of the installation of several units of direct expansion or water systems and fan coil units in large houses or offices, with increasing comfort and quality levels.
The design and calculations required for an CrossZone air conditioning project are simpler than other systems with similar characteristics.
CrossZone provides technical support to engineers in air-to-air air conditioning projects with zoning and offers the possibility to use its FUNZIONA calculation program for zoning installations at no cost.
CrossZone provides the most advanced aesthetics and design, which can fully fit into the most demanding decorative requirements and do not represent limitations to the space distribution within a house.
