One of the potential upgrades we're looking for for our HVAC system is to go to 2 zones, upstairs and downstairs. The stack for our HVAC output splits off right above the fan and goes into a single duct for upstairs, a large one for downstairs, and then 2 smaller ducts for other downstairs locations.
I got a quote for installing a powered damper system into all that, and it came back $2k. Now, I don't know how much the dampers themselves cost, but I know I could handle the control part myself (dampers just work off a relay, right? So anything that will throw a relay will control these things?).
Is it possible to get powered dampers the correct dimensions for my HVAC system and put these in myself? Really I just cut away the cut and insert it in, power and control, right?? Or is it better to leave it to the pro's?
