FAQs

Why should I upgrade my thermostat?

Upgrading your thermostat can enhance energy efficiency, provide greater control over your home’s temperature, and reduce utility bills. Modern smart thermostats also offer advanced features like remote control via smartphone apps, learning your schedule to optimize heating and cooling, and compatibility with other home automation systems.

How can a programmable thermostat save me money?

A programmable thermostat allows you to set schedules that adjust the temperature automatically throughout the day. This means you can reduce heating and cooling when you're not home or asleep, which can significantly lower your energy bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling by simply turning your thermostat back 7°-10°F for 8 hours a day from its normal setting.

Are smart thermostats compatible with all heating and air conditioning systems?

Most smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with a wide range of heating and cooling systems, but compatibility can vary depending on your specific system's type and age. It’s always best to check the manufacturer’s compatibility guide or consult with a professional installer to ensure the thermostat will work with your existing equipment.

What features do modern smart thermostats offer?

Modern smart thermostats offer a variety of features including remote control through smartphone apps, learning algorithms that adapt to your habits, energy usage reports, voice control compatibility with virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and automation to integrate with other smart home devices like lights and security systems.

How difficult is it to install a new thermostat?

The difficulty of installing a new thermostat depends on whether you are replacing an existing one or installing a smart thermostat for the first time. Most programmable and basic smart thermostats are designed for easy installation with step-by-step instructions. However, if your system is older or if you’re not comfortable with electrical wiring, it’s best to have a professional handle the installation to ensure it’s done correctly and safely.

Can I control my upgraded thermostat remotely?

Yes, most modern smart thermostats come with companion smartphone apps that allow you to monitor and control your home’s temperature from anywhere with an internet connection. This feature provides added convenience and can help you manage energy usage more efficiently.

Install was completed as scheduled within 3 days of accepting their quote. Installers did great job. HEP was very responsive thru whole process. So far, no complaints.

Jacob Newman just installed a new float switch for my AC. He was friendly & professional. He came in and did the job quickly and efficiently! He showed me photos of the repair and even reminded me to change my filters. I'm nice cool on this muggy morning. Thanks HEP and their crew... AGAIN.

Chris K. came over to check our heating and air conditioning for a free initial test, he was great, he changed our filters and ran all the tests smoothly while letting us know throughout the appointment what he was doing and why. Great service!

My nest Stat went out and I tried to fix it myself but couldn’t figure it out. Called HEP and they gave me a time frame of 1:00pm-6:00pm same day. They called me back at 5:00pm to let me know it would be around 7:00pm. I was 2 days with no A/C so waiting an extra hour wasn’t really an issue for me. Steve showed up and gave me a solution to my problem within 20 minutes, but he also temporarily fixed my unit Until I could get a new thermostat unit because the stat I had was faulty. He also walked me through some basic maintenance I could perform to help my HVAC run smoothly. Steve was Professional, honest and friendly! Finding that trio is almost impossible this day and age. All in all Steve is the Bob Ross of professionalism and deserves recognition for his craft. Thank you!

The guys from HEP did a great job installing my Carrier HVAC unit. They took their time and made sure everything was done right. They asked me several times if I thought everything looked good throughout the install. There will be a inspection technician that will come out to do a follow-up to make sure the job was done properly, check the unit, and make sure the thermostat is working correctly. Everyone that I talked to from HEP was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend using this company. Thank you for your service! Jody Technician came out the next day and checked the unit and all the work performed. All employees seem to care about the customers.

Josh Crawford came by today for a spring inspection of our HVAC unit, and to help with some smart thermostat issues. He did a great and thorough job, and was very personable. He suggested we add a surge protector to our unit to protect our compressor, and made an excellent case for that without being pushy or applying undue sales pressure.

Tim M.

Steven, Jacob, and Josh were great, extremely thorough with suggestions on thermostats, maintenance, and a UV light system to address some condensation issues in our lower unit.

David T.

John Smith was great. He arrived in time and did a though explanation of resting my new unit for the source of the problem. Then explained the thermostat replacement. Courteous and knowledgable.
