FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat in Jacksboro’s climate?
Jacksboro experiences hot, humid summers and chilly winters, so precise temperature control is essential for year-round comfort. Modern smart and programmable thermostats learn your schedule, adjust temperatures automatically, and minimize energy waste. Over time, homeowners often see 8-15 % reductions in heating and cooling costs while enjoying steadier indoor temperatures and better humidity control.
What kinds of thermostat upgrades are available?
You can choose from three main categories: 1. Programmable: Allows day-by-day scheduling and is an economical step up from a manual dial. 2. Wi-Fi/Smart: Connects to your home network, offers remote control via phone, voice assistants, and occupancy sensors, and can receive over-the-air firmware updates. 3. Zoning/Smart Sensor Systems: Combine a smart thermostat with wireless room sensors or motorized dampers to regulate different rooms independently, eliminating hot or cold spots common in two-story Jacksboro homes.
How much can a smart thermostat save on my energy bills?
Savings vary based on the size of your home and habits, but most national studies show $150–$300 per year. In Jacksboro, where air-conditioning can run six months or more, the cooling portion alone can drop up to 20 % when using features like geofencing (which sets back temperatures when no one is home) and adaptive recovery (which precools or preheats during off-peak hours).
Will a new thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Nearly all modern HVAC equipment—gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and mini-splits—can interface with today’s thermostats. The key is matching the thermostat’s terminals with your system’s stage count (single- or multi-stage) and ensuring a C-wire (common wire) is present for power. Our technicians verify compatibility during a free on-site evaluation and can add a C-wire adapter if needed.
What is involved in professional installation and how long does it take?
A typical thermostat replacement takes 45–90 minutes. Our NATE-certified technician will: • Shut off power to the HVAC equipment. • Remove the old thermostat and confirm existing wiring. • Install a new wall plate, level the device, and connect low-voltage wires. • Power up the system, configure equipment settings, and connect to your Wi-Fi. • Walk you through the mobile app and create an initial schedule. We also register the product warranty and provide a quick-start guide before leaving.
Can I control my thermostat remotely and are there any local incentives?
Yes. Most smart thermostats work with iOS, Android, Alexa, Google Home, or Siri, letting you adjust temperature, monitor humidity, and receive maintenance alerts from anywhere. Certain models also integrate with energy-use dashboards to help you track consumption. For potential rebates, check with Oncor Electric Delivery’s "Take a Load Off, Texas" program or your cooperative’s energy-efficiency incentives—many offer $30–$75 back on qualifying smart thermostat installations in the Jacksboro area.
