FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat when I replace or service my HVAC system in Riceville?
A modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you far more precise temperature control than older manual models, letting you schedule set-backs, monitor humidity and receive maintenance alerts. In Riceville’s variable climate—cold winters and hot, humid summers—this added precision can cut energy use by 10–20 %, improve indoor comfort and prevent system short-cycling that wears out equipment prematurely.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing furnace, heat pump or air conditioner?
Yes. Before installation we verify voltage, staging (single-stage, two-stage or variable-speed) and compatibility with gas, electric or dual-fuel systems common in Riceville homes. If your system lacks a C-wire for constant power, we can usually add one or supply a power-extender kit at the same visit, ensuring seamless integration without extra service calls.
How long does a typical thermostat upgrade take, and will my heating or cooling be offline for long?
Most replacements take 45–90 minutes. We shut off power, remove the old unit, label wires, mount the new base, connect wiring, restore power and complete setup. Your HVAC system is offline only during that window, and we test heating and cooling modes before leaving to make sure everything operates correctly.
Can smart thermostats really lower my energy bills in Riceville?
Absolutely. By automatically adjusting temperatures when you’re asleep, at work or away, smart models analyze usage patterns and local weather data. In TVA’s service area, customers typically save $8–$20 a month—more during peak-rate summer periods—by letting the thermostat manage setbacks and humidity. Many utility companies also offer rebates that shorten the payback period to less than two years.
Do I need Wi-Fi to use a new thermostat, and what happens if my internet goes down?
Wi-Fi is recommended to unlock advanced features such as remote control via smartphone, weather-responsive scheduling and firmware updates. However, if your internet drops, the thermostat still operates as a standalone programmable unit and maintains your last saved schedule. Once the connection is restored it automatically resynchronizes with the cloud and your mobile app.
What kind of support and warranties do you provide after installation?
All thermostats we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 3–5 years. Our labor is covered for one full year, and we offer free phone or virtual support to walk you through app setup, home/away automation and seasonal schedule adjustments. During routine HVAC maintenance visits, we update firmware and verify sensor accuracy at no extra charge.
