FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my existing thermostat?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats give you precise temperature control, automatic scheduling, and mobile app access. Homeowners in Pelham typically see 8–15 % savings on annual heating and cooling bills because the thermostat can learn your routine, adjust temperatures when you’re away, and provide detailed energy-use reports. Upgrading also improves comfort by eliminating hot and cold spots and can add value to your home.
What kinds of thermostats do you install?
We install three main categories: (1) basic digital programmable models, (2) Wi-Fi smart thermostats that you can control through a phone or voice assistant, and (3) learning thermostats that adapt to your schedule automatically. We carry leading brands such as Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, and Emerson Sensi, and we help you choose the model that best matches your HVAC equipment, lifestyle, and budget.
Will my current heating and air-conditioning system work with a smart thermostat?
Most newer gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central AC systems in Pelham are compatible, but the safest approach is to let us inspect the control wiring and system voltage first. Smart thermostats usually require a common “C-wire” for continuous power. If your system lacks one, we can often run a new wire or install a power adapter. We also check staging (single- or multi-stage), humidity control, and dual-fuel configurations to be sure the new thermostat will operate every function of your equipment.
How long does a thermostat upgrade take, and will my HVAC be offline?
A straightforward replacement usually takes 45–60 minutes, including removal of the old unit, mounting, wiring, software setup, and testing. If we have to add a C-wire or update the sub-base, plan on up to two hours. Your heating or cooling will be off only during the brief wiring phase—typically less than 15 minutes—so indoor comfort is minimally affected.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Pelham for smart thermostat installations?
Yes. Alabama Power and many regional utilities periodically offer bill credits or mail-in rebates—often $50–$100—when you install an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat. In addition, some homeowners qualify for a federal 30 % tax credit (up to $150) under the Inflation Reduction Act. We supply the documentation you’ll need and will guide you through the application process.
What does a thermostat upgrade cost and what is included?
Pricing starts at about $250 for a basic programmable thermostat fully installed, while premium smart models range from $375 to $600 installed. Every quote includes the thermostat, professional installation, wiring adjustments, Wi-Fi setup, a demonstration of key features, and a one-year labor warranty. Multi-zone or dual-fuel systems may require additional configuration, and we’ll outline any extra charges up front before work begins.
