FAQs
How can upgrading my thermostat help me save energy in Signal Mountainâs climate?
Modern smart and programmable thermostats automatically adapt to Signal Mountainâs seasonal temperature swings. By learning your daily schedule and adjusting set-points when youâre asleep or away, they can trim HVAC run time by 10-20 %, which translates to noticeable savings on both summer cooling and winter heating bills.
What types of thermostats do you offer for energy-efficient upgrades?
We install Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostats, advanced programmable models, and communicating thermostats that âtalkâ directly with variable-speed furnaces and heat pumps. Each option is ENERGY STARÂź certified, offers remote control via smartphone, and provides detailed energy-use reports so you can fine-tune consumption.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing furnace or heat pump?
In most cases, yes. During a free on-site assessment we check the control board, verify the presence of a C-wire for continuous power, and ensure staging compatibility (single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed). If minor wiring upgrades are needed, we handle them during installation.
How difficult is the installation process and how long does it take?
A typical thermostat upgrade takes 60-90 minutes. We shut off power, remove the old unit, label and reconnect wiring, mount and level the new baseplate, power up the system, and program initial settings. Before leaving, our technician will walk you through the mobile app and build a custom schedule that maximizes savings.
What kind of cost savings and payback period should I expect?
Homeowners in Signal Mountain commonly save $150â$250 per year on utility bills. With installed thermostat costs between $275 and $450, most customers see a simple payback in 1.5 to 3 years while enjoying added comfort and remote control convenience from day one.
Are rebates or incentives available locally for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. EPB of Chattanooga and TVAâs EnergyRight program periodically offer $50â$100 bill credits on qualifying smart thermostats. We handle the paperwork, provide proof of ENERGY STARÂź certification, and submit rebate forms on your behalf so you receive the incentive without extra hassle.
