One or two zone setup

Recently bought a house with a configuration as follows:

  1. Trane heat pump > 40°
  2. Buderus furnace < 40° powers baseboards
  3. Radiant heated floors

Currently, my Buderus is set to one zone. Does that make sense? I feel as if we have baseboards and radiant heated floors it doesn’t sense to have everything on one zone. Happy to add pictures of the pumps to see if it would make sense to separate them into two zones (one for baseboards and one for radiant floors).

    Is it heating like it's supposed to or do you want more control? There is really no reason to have multiple zones if everything is set up/ balanced properly and the temps are where they're supposed to be.

    Baseboards and Radiant in the same room(s)

    If these are different rooms or areas of the home, control over the two zones may be helpful. You need thermostats in the two locations, of course.
