HVAC technician cannot find a zone board that allows simultaneous heating and cooling to dehumidify a home while maintaining temperature.
The Honeywell HZ322 zone board does not support simultaneous heat and cool operation; it only runs the fan when both signals are present, making effective dehumidification impossible.
