  1. Where'd this loss of efficiency stuff come from. Do you freak out every time you put your car on max a/c and it goes into 80/20 mode? No. My biggest concern with this would be the damper somehow sticking open and a double closed zone error and a failed overheat sensor. Unlikely, but you want home systems as idiot proof as possible or we'll quickly be in a situation where the average residential furnace will start throwing OBD2 codes and flip on a check furnace light to illuminate. "Help, my furnace is in limp mode"
