FAQs

What are the benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat?

Upgrading to a smart thermostat can lead to significant energy savings, increased comfort, and enhanced control over your home's climate. Smart thermostats can learn your schedule and preferences, adjust heating and cooling automatically, and allow you to control the temperature remotely via smartphone apps. Many models also provide energy usage reports and can integrate with other smart home devices.

How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a smart thermostat?

While savings can vary based on individual usage patterns and local climate, homeowners typically save around 10-15% on heating and cooling costs by using a smart thermostat. Some manufacturers claim savings up to 23%, depending on how efficiently you can manage your HVAC system.

Are smart thermostats compatible with all heating and cooling systems?

Most smart thermostats are compatible with a wide range of HVAC systems. However, it's essential to check compatibility with your specific system before purchasing. Some older systems or multi-stage heating and cooling setups may require additional equipment or may not be compatible at all.

Can I install a smart thermostat myself, or do I need professional installation?

Many smart thermostats are designed for easy DIY installation, and they come with detailed instructions and often video tutorials. However, if you are not comfortable with electrical work or if your system is complex, it might be best to hire a professional to ensure proper installation and functionality.

What features should I look for when selecting a smart thermostat?

Key features to consider include Wi-Fi connectivity, remote control via smartphone app, compatibility with your HVAC system, energy usage reports, learning capabilities to adapt to your routines, and integration with other smart home devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Additional features like geofencing, which adjusts the temperature based on your proximity to home, and multi-room sensors for more accurate temperature control can also be beneficial.

Are there any incentives or rebates available for upgrading to a smart thermostat in Oak Ridge?

Yes, many utility companies and local governments offer incentives and rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient smart thermostats. These programs can help offset the initial cost of the thermostat. It's advisable to check with your local utility provider and search for available rebates in the Oak Ridge area to take advantage of these savings.

What our customers say

I contracted with HEP to install a new HVAC system. The one they put in is an American Standard, which gets good ratings online. It is gas heat/electric air. Charlie and Avi removed the old unit, installed the new unit. got everything wired up, installed a new thermostat (old one was problematic), and hauled away the old HVAC unit. Very cool, very professional. I now have heat working correctly for the first time since March.

Zach did a wonderful job getting the estimate to upgrade the electrical for my heat and additional medical equipment. He was thorough and looked at all the options for each room and the best plan for this house. He explained it all thoroughly. I will definitely use HEP to do the job and I will use them again!

Replaced existing heat pump with a packaged Carrier. Cools very well and quiet. Price was competitive and included new digital thermostat, clean and sealed connection to house, concrete pad and 2 year free check ups. 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.

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 HVAC system went down on a late Saturday night and i called HEP right away. They were calm and friendly on the phone, which allowed for us to get a tech out to my home. Justin came to my house at 7pm and did not leave until the problem was solved in every aspect of my issue at 11:30pm. I currently have a pregnant wife and he understood we needed to get air moving again. We worked late into the night to make sure we could have cool flowing air for the night. Once the job was completed for the day, he came back a second day to install new wiring within the home for the thermostat to the HVAC. He found and fixed previous issues from the prior homeowner and left my home better than how he found it. I am extremely appreciative of Justin and if you call HEP around the Knoxville area, I will request him in a heartbeat if I ever have any more issues and I think you should to. Thank you, Justin for your help and expertise.

The two young men (Travis & Cholo) who put in my new heating/ac unit did a wonderful job. My dogs & I are enjoying the new heati ing system immensely I have set the thermostat at 67 & have left it. No more ru ning back & forth turning the heat up & down. Thank you so much. I could not have asked for more.5 stars!!!!!

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!

Travis and Cody arrived on time with my new HVAC and quickly disassembled the old and removed it. They poured the new pad, set the new system, checked the ductwork, installed a new thermostat and were finished in 5 hours! They were great! I highly recommend this company. They show up! And they do what they say they are going to do. THANK YOU HEP!

K C.

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.
