Number of thermostats
Number of thermostats
(OP)
Townhouse style condos, 2 levels. Is it best practice to always put a thermostat on each floor and either have an air handler on each floor or make it a zoned system. Or is it reasonable to have just one thermostat on first floor and have it be a one zone system?

With more modern variable speed fan and multi-stage burner and AC it can be done with a single unit. Carrier et al have ready solutions for such zoning and the appropriate furnace/AC AHU. If you just want to use a cheap single-stage type, 2 separate AHU may be better.
