LIVING AREAS
Ready for your evening.
Prepare shared spaces before everyone settles in, then ease back within your preferences.
70°F6 pm to 10 pm
Heating & cooling
Comfort when you need it.
Plan heating, cooling and hot water around your day, with zone comfort that responds to how you use each part of your home.
Plan around my priorities Compare equipment options ↗ZONE COMFORT
A different rhythm.
A comfortable space.
A cooler bedroom, a comfortable home office and living areas ready for the evening. Endurous is being designed to learn how each zone responds and adjust around the preferences you choose.
BEDROOMS
Comfort for winding down.
Follow a different overnight preference without asking the whole house to use one schedule.
67°F10 pm to 7 am
HOME OFFICE
A space that works for you.
Plan around work hours and account for sunlight, room readings and changes to your day.
71°F8 am to 5 pm
Example heating preferences for three independently controlled zones. Your temperatures and schedules stay in your hands.
Learn what each space needs.
Room readings and your preferences help build a picture of how quickly each zone warms or cools. The aim is to prepare at the right time and reduce repeated adjustments.
Connect the right controls.
Zoning can use motorized duct dampers, separate indoor units or hydronic zone valves and room controls. An installer matches airflow, water flow and equipment capacity to the home.

THE THERMAL BATTERY CONCEPT
Prepare comfort.
Store it for later.
A thermal battery stores heat, or cooling with suitable equipment, for use later. It lets your home prepare comfort when electricity costs less or solar power is available, then draw on that reserve when prices rise.
- 01
Prepare at a useful time
Use a heat pump, available solar electricity or another compatible heat source when conditions make sense.
- 02
Hold useful energy
An insulated water tank or other storage material holds that energy. Its size and temperature determine how much useful comfort it can provide.
- 03
Use it when needed
Use stored heat for compatible room heating or hot water, or stored cooling where supported, with your comfort preferences guiding the plan.
How it works with a home battery
The home battery supplies electricity to appliances and other loads. Thermal storage supplies warmth or cooling, easing the work left for heating and cooling equipment during peak hours.
What Endurous plans around
Your routine, weather, energy rates and storage temperatures help guide when to store and release energy. A property model checks capacity, heat loss and the power needed by pumps and controls.

HOW IT COULD HELP
A comfortable welcome home.
When this happens
A colder evening is forecast.
Home can respond
Prepare compatible heating before you arrive, within the temperatures you choose.
What that means for you
More consistent comfort with less adjusting.
An example of the intended experience. Results depend on compatible equipment and your home.
THE SIMPLE VERSION
What goes into the plan.
- 01
Choose your comfort
Choose comfort ranges and schedules for each supported zone.
- 02
Look at what is ahead
Consider the weather, room readings and how each zone holds heat.
- 03
Prepare automatically
Adjust compatible zone controls and equipment as your needs change.
NO NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
A practical place to start.
Start with the rooms or times of day that feel uncomfortable. Review your existing heating, cooling and insulation before choosing equipment.
A little more detail.
Will the system change my temperature settings?
Automatic adjustments are designed to stay within the comfort limits you choose. You can update your preferences and use supported manual controls.
What equipment could be included?
Supported heat pumps and HVAC controls; zone thermostats, sensors and motorized dampers; separate indoor units; hot-water equipment; thermal storage; hydronic zone valves and controls where installed.
What needs to be checked for my home?
- Existing equipment, zoning capability, room loads, minimum airflow or water flow, and supported setpoints.
- Building insulation, thermal response, humidity, and ventilation needs.
- Hot-water demand, storage losses, circulation, and electrical dependencies.
Can each room have its own temperature?
Separate preferences are possible where the home has suitable zone controls. A zone may be a room, a floor or a group of rooms. Sensors help understand conditions; independent control also needs compatible dampers, indoor units or water circuits.
The design considers minimum airflow, equipment capacity and heating or cooling mode. A shared system may need to serve zones in the same mode. About residential zoning design ↗
What should I know about the limits?
Comfort limits, equipment protections, and water-heating safeguards remain in place. Thermal storage and hydronic routing are installation-dependent, not requirements for every home.
