FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat in Collegedale?
Older manual thermostats often cycle your HVAC system more than necessary, leading to uneven comfort and higher energy bills. A modern programmable or smart thermostat learns your schedule, adapts to Collegedale’s seasonal temperature swings, and can be adjusted from your phone. The result is steadier indoor comfort, energy savings up to 10–20 %, and less wear on your heating and air-conditioning equipment.
What kinds of thermostats do you install, and how do I choose the right one?
We install basic digital programmable models, Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats (such as Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell Home), and advanced zoning thermostats that manage multiple areas of your home independently. During our on-site visit we evaluate your HVAC system type, wiring, and Wi-Fi strength, then recommend options that match your lifestyle—whether you want simple 7-day scheduling, voice control through Alexa/Google, or in-depth energy-usage reports.
How long does a thermostat upgrade take, and will my HVAC system be offline?
Most replacements take 45–90 minutes from shutdown to restart. We begin by cutting power to your furnace and air handler, labeling existing wires, installing the new baseplate, completing wiring, and running a full system test. Your heating or cooling is usually offline for less than an hour, and we schedule appointments around weather extremes so you are never without conditioned air for long.
Will a new thermostat work with my current heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Nearly all central furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners in Collegedale use industry-standard low-voltage (24-V) controls. We verify compatibility first, checking for common C-wire power, multi-stage heating/cooling, or dual-fuel heat pump requirements. If your system lacks a C-wire, we can install an add-a-wire kit or a new wire run. High-voltage (line-volt) baseboard heaters and proprietary communicating systems require special thermostats, which we also carry.
Are there energy rebates or incentives for thermostat upgrades in Collegedale?
Yes. EPB Energy and TVA periodically offer bill credits when you install a qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostat and enroll in their demand-response program. Tennessee also provides state sales-tax exemptions on certain energy-saving devices during promotional weekends. We handle the paperwork and provide the model numbers, receipts, and installation photos you need to claim up to $50 in local utility rebates.
What does a thermostat upgrade cost, and what warranties do you provide?
Installed prices range from $189 for a basic 5-2 programmable model to $429–$549 for premium smart thermostats with remote sensors. All packages include removal of the old unit, professional installation, and a walkthrough of app setup and scheduling. The thermostat carries a 3- to 5-year manufacturer warranty, and our labor is guaranteed for one year. Optional maintenance plans add extended coverage and seasonal HVAC tune-ups for as little as $12 per month.
