FAQs
What advantages will I see if I upgrade to a modern smart thermostat in my Pelham home?
A smart thermostat gives you precise temperature control, remote access through a phone app, automatic schedule learning, and real-time energy-use tracking. In Pelham’s mixed climate, this means you can warm your home efficiently during chilly Hudson Valley winters and cool it economically in humid summers—often saving 10–20 % on annual heating and cooling costs while enjoying better comfort.
Can a smart thermostat really lower my energy bills, and by how much?
Yes. By adapting run times to your daily routine, using geofencing to turn equipment down when the house is empty, and optimizing cycles for Pelham’s weather patterns, most homeowners see energy savings of $120–$180 per year. Those numbers come from EPA ENERGY STAR studies and local utility data. Exact savings depend on your insulation level, system age, and personal usage habits, but nearly every upgrade pays for itself within 12–24 months.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system, or do I need to replace other equipment?
Modern smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with 95 % of HVAC systems found in Pelham, including single-stage, multi-stage, heat pump, and dual-fuel units. During our on-site assessment we confirm wire count (including the common “C” wire), system voltage (24 V vs line voltage), and any accessories such as humidifiers. If small upgrades—like adding a C-wire adapter—are needed, we handle that during installation; no major equipment changes are typically required.
How long does professional installation take, and what does it involve?
A standard thermostat replacement takes 45–60 minutes. We start by shutting off power to your HVAC, labeling and transferring wires, mounting the new baseplate, and confirming Wi-Fi connectivity. After the physical install we program an energy-saving schedule tailored to your household and give you a quick in-person tutorial on the mobile app. If you choose optional zoning or sensor add-ons, the visit may extend to about 90 minutes.
Do smart thermostats need Wi-Fi to function, and what happens during an internet outage?
Wi-Fi is required for remote control, firmware updates, and weather-aware scheduling. However, if your internet goes down the thermostat continues to regulate temperature using its stored schedule and on-device controls. When connectivity is restored, it automatically resynchronizes with the cloud and mobile app without user intervention.
Are there rebates or incentives in Pelham or Westchester County for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Con Edison frequently offers $50–$75 instant rebates on select ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. New York State’s NYSERDA programs sometimes stack additional incentives, and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may apply if the thermostat is installed as part of a broader heat-pump upgrade. We complete all rebate paperwork for you and will deduct any instant incentives directly from your invoice.
