FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat?
Upgrading your thermostat can offer several benefits including enhanced energy efficiency, more precise temperature control, programmable features, and improved home comfort. Modern thermostats can also be controlled remotely via smartphone apps, providing convenience and potentially lowering energy costs by optimizing heating and cooling schedules.
What types of thermostats are available for upgrade?

Programmable thermostats allow you to set schedules to adjust temperatures automatically. Smart thermostats learn your preferences and can be controlled via a smartphone. Wi-Fi thermostats offer remote control capabilities and can be integrated with home automation systems.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most modern thermostats are compatible with a wide range of HVAC systems. However, it’s essential to check compatibility before purchasing a new thermostat. Consulting with a professional HVAC technician can help ensure that the thermostat you choose will work seamlessly with your existing system.
How do smart thermostats save energy?
Smart thermostats save energy by learning your schedule and preferences, adjusting the temperature when you're not home, and providing detailed usage reports. They use sensors and algorithms to optimize heating and cooling cycles, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Some models can even adjust based on the weather forecast or detect when a window is left open.
Can I install a new thermostat myself or do I need a professional?
While some thermostats can be installed by homeowners with basic electrical knowledge, it’s often recommended to have a professional HVAC technician handle the installation. This ensures that the wiring is done correctly, the thermostat is calibrated properly, and any potential issues with your HVAC system are identified and addressed.
How much does it cost to upgrade a thermostat?
The cost to upgrade a thermostat can vary widely depending on the type of thermostat you choose. Basic programmable thermostats might range from $20 to $100, while smart and Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats can range from $100 to $300 or more. Additionally, professional installation may cost between $75 and $150, depending on the complexity of the installation and your location.
