FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat in Shelbyville’s climate?
Shelbyville experiences warm, humid summers and cool winters, which means your HVAC system runs much of the year. A modern programmable or smart thermostat automatically adjusts temperatures based on your schedule and real-time weather data, ensuring optimal comfort while reducing unnecessary run time. This results in lower energy bills, less wear on your HVAC equipment, and more consistent indoor temperatures throughout every season.
What kinds of thermostat upgrades do you install?
We offer three main categories: 1. Programmable thermostats – Let you set daily or weekly schedules. 2. Wi-Fi smart thermostats – Connect to your home network for remote control via phone, tablet, or voice assistant. 3. Learning thermostats – Use built-in sensors and algorithms to learn your habits and adjust automatically. All models include easy-to-read displays, precise temperature control, and energy-use reports to help you track savings.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing heating and cooling system?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians check system voltage (low-voltage 24V vs. line-voltage), number of control wires, and whether you have a common (C) wire. We can add a C-wire adapter or power extender if your current wiring is limited. During a free in-home assessment, we verify compatibility with gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, or multi-stage equipment before recommending the right thermostat.
How much money can I expect to save after upgrading?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates programmable and smart thermostats can cut heating and cooling costs by 10–20% annually when used correctly. In Shelbyville, that often translates to $120–$250 a year for an average 2,000-sq-ft home. Savings are highest when schedules are customized, energy-saving modes are enabled, and temperature setbacks of 7–10°F are applied while you’re away or asleep.
Do you provide professional installation, and what does it include?
Yes. Our NATE-certified technicians handle: • Removal and recycling of your old thermostat • Wiring inspection, labeling, and any necessary C-wire upgrades • Mounting and level alignment for accurate readings • Wi-Fi setup, software updates, and integration with smart-home platforms • Personalized programming and a tutorial on features • A 1-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer ’s warranty on the thermostat itself.
Are there any local incentives or rebates for thermostat upgrades in Shelbyville?
Yes. Many Shelbyville utility providers, including Shelbyville Municipal Utilities and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) partners, offer $50–$100 rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. We’ll handle all paperwork: proof of purchase, installation verification, and rebate submission. Additionally, federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may provide up to 30% of the cost (up to $600) for qualified thermostats installed before 2032. Ask us during your estimate and we’ll ensure you receive every available incentive.
