Two zone heating/ac

This might be a dumb question....

The 2 zones in my house are the basement/main floor and then the top floor.
I wish the top floor and main floor were connected, and the basement were separate. We use the basement so much less than the other 2 floors, but I need to heat/ac it pretty much all the time.

Is it possible to get this switched?

 

Your zones are set up the way they are so that on winter nights while everyone is upstairs you can set the thermostat very low for the lower levels and during the day when you are on the main level you can set the temp on the top level very low. Then you can do the opposite during the summer heat. Most lower level furnaces have dampers so that you can send most of the air to the basement or main level. This is the most efficient way to manage your HVAC. You could change the duct work over and thus change the zones but this would be expensive and less efficient.

If you need help setting your dampers I would be happy to help.

Sometimes you can adjust your dampers seasonally - have certain ones closed in winter and open in summer and vice versa. I don't know the details but if you're having issues with heating and cooling your home you might consult an HVAC company and investigate your options.
