FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat when my current one still works?
Older thermostats often have only basic temperature control and can be off by several degrees, causing your HVAC system to run longer than necessary. Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you tighter temperature accuracy, scheduling, remote access, and energy-use reports. In Signal Mountain’s variable mountain climate, those features translate to greater comfort, fewer temperature swings, and energy savings that can recoup the cost of the upgrade within one to three seasons.
What types of modern thermostats do you install for Signal Mountain homeowners?
We offer three main categories: • Programmable digital thermostats – set daily or weekly schedules to match your routine. • Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats – learn your habits, adjust automatically, and integrate with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home. • Z-wave or proprietary home-automation thermostats – tie into whole-house automation platforms for advanced control. All models we carry are ENERGY STAR® certified and compatible with most heat pump, gas, electric, and dual-fuel systems common on the mountain.
Will a smart thermostat really save me money on my energy bills?
Yes. National studies show average savings of 8–15 % on heating and cooling costs. In Signal Mountain, where winters can be colder and summers milder than the valley, smart thermostats optimize runtimes based on outdoor temperature, occupancy, and your insulation level. Many units provide an energy-use dashboard so you can see exactly how much you’re saving month by month.
Can I control my new thermostat from my phone even when I’m away?
Absolutely. Any Wi-Fi or cellular smart thermostat we install comes with a free iOS and Android app. You can adjust temperature, switch modes (heat, cool, auto), see indoor humidity, and receive maintenance reminders or extreme-temperature alerts from anywhere with an internet connection. Multiple users can be granted access so the whole family can make adjustments.
How complicated is the installation process and will my HVAC warranty remain intact?
Most upgrades take under one hour. We shut off power to your air handler or furnace, label and transfer the low-voltage wires, mount the new thermostat, connect it to Wi-Fi, program initial settings, and test all HVAC modes. Because we are licensed and follow manufacturer guidelines, your existing HVAC warranty stays fully valid, and the new thermostat comes with its own 3- to 5-year parts warranty.
What is the average cost of a thermostat upgrade in Signal Mountain and do you offer financing or rebates?
Installed costs range from $250–$450 for programmable models and $400–$700 for premium smart thermostats, depending on features. We offer same-as-cash financing for qualified customers as well as bundled discounts when paired with seasonal HVAC maintenance. EPB and TVA incentives may provide $25–$75 bill credits for ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats—ask us for current rebate forms at the time of scheduling.
