With our 2-Stage unit, we have zones set up.
Largest benefit is cooling the bedroom(s) only at night (not the whole house).
If we want to continue with zones, SunKool said that would cost an additional $4500.
(current zone equipment would not work with a new variable speed unit)

My home is 1200 sq ft. I never open windows or leave doors open during the humid season. I want to maintain a steady humidity of around 50% and a temp of 75°, day and night. I live alone, so all doors between rooms are open all the time. My electric bill for May was $119. The bill for April was $85. In a home like mine, multiple zones would save me very little, as there is never a time when I want the living room temperature to be different from the bedroom. I don’t want the living room temp rising multiple degrees in the night while the bedroom is cooler. For me, I don’t think the cost of a multi-zone system would be paid for in the years I have left. If I get too warm, it’s easy to turn on the ceiling fan.
