FAQs
Why should I upgrade my current thermostat to a modern model?
Newer programmable and smart thermostats give you precise temperature control, daily or weekly scheduling, remote access from your phone, and self-learning features that automatically adjust settings based on your lifestyle. In Huntland’s mixed-climate region, that tighter control typically cuts heating and cooling run-time by 10–20 %, translating into lower utility bills, longer equipment life, and more consistent indoor comfort.
What types of thermostats do you install and how do I decide which one is best?
We install conventional 5-2/7-day programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi–enabled models, and fully integrated smart thermostats such as Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell Home. During a free on-site assessment we look at your HVAC system type (gas furnace, heat pump, dual-fuel, mini-split, etc.), the number of heating/cooling stages, available control wires, and any add-ons like humidifiers or zoning. Then we match you with a thermostat that delivers the features you want —voice control, energy-use reports, geofencing, or utility demand-response—without paying for extras you won’t use.
Will the new thermostat be compatible with my existing heating and air conditioning equipment?
Compatibility is rarely an issue when the upgrade is handled by professionals. We test control voltages (24 V, millivolt, or line-voltage), identify the C-wire requirement, and verify staging for single-stage, multi-stage, or variable-speed systems. If extra conductors are needed, we can pull new wire or install a C-wire adapter. We also program the thermostat for heat-pump balance temperatures, auxiliary heat lockout, and fan settings so your equipment operates exactly as designed.
How long does a thermostat upgrade take and what happens on installation day?
A straightforward replacement generally takes 45–90 minutes. We start by disconnecting power at the breaker, label and document existing wires, mount the new base plate, make electrical connections, and power up the system. Next, we configure equipment settings, connect the thermostat to your home Wi-Fi, update firmware, and walk you through the mobile app. Finally, we run a full heating and cooling test cycle to confirm correct operation. You’ll receive a quick-start guide and our technician’s direct contact information for any follow-up questions.
How much money can I expect to save and what is the payback period?
In the Tennessee Valley region, the average home spends about $1,800 a year on heating and cooling. Energy-Star studies show that properly programmed smart thermostats reduce that spend by $180–$360 annually. With installed costs starting around $350, most homeowners recover their investment within 1–2 cooling/heating seasons, and continue saving for the life of the thermostat—typically 10 years or more.
Are rebates or incentives available in Huntland, and do you assist with paperwork?
Yes. Middle Tennessee Electric and TVA frequently offer $50–$100 bill credits for qualifying smart thermostats enrolled in their demand-response program. Some ENERGY STAR models also qualify for a federal tax credit of up to 30 % of the unit cost (capped at $150). We keep track of current local, utility, and federal incentives, supply you with the necessary model numbers and AHRI certificates, and submit rebate forms on your behalf so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
