FAQs
Why should I upgrade to an advanced thermostat in my Elora home?
Advanced thermostats provide precise temperature control, remote access via smartphone, automatic scheduling based on your routine, and energy-use reporting. In Elora’s mixed seasonal climate, these features can lower heating and cooling bills by up to 20 %, improve year-round comfort, and help you qualify for local utility rebates.
Can a smart thermostat work with my existing furnace and air conditioner?
Most modern smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with standard 24-volt HVAC systems, including gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioners commonly found in Elora homes. During our in-home assessment we check wiring, system voltage, and accessory controls (humidifier, dehumidifier, HRV) to confirm compatibility or recommend a simple wiring adapter if needed.
What features should I look for in a thermostat upgrade?
Key features include Wi-Fi connectivity, geofencing that adjusts temperature when you leave or return, learning algorithms that adapt to your schedule, voice-assistant integration, energy-use tracking, and multi-stage equipment support. For radiant floor heating or dual-fuel systems common in rural Wellington County, choose a model with specialised control modes and outdoor temperature sensors.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my heating or cooling?
A standard thermostat replacement takes about 60–90 minutes. We turn off power, label and move existing wires, mount the new base, connect wiring, power up, and program the device. Your HVAC system will be off only during wiring (roughly 15 minutes). We test heat, cool, fan, and any accessories before leaving.
Are there rebates or incentives for smart thermostat installations in Elora?
Yes. The Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program currently offers up to $125 for ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats when installed by a registered contractor. Additional incentives may be available through the Canada Greener Homes Grant. We provide the required proof of purchase and assist with rebate paperwork at no extra cost.
How do advanced thermostats help reduce my environmental impact?
By learning your preferences and automatically trimming unnecessary runtime, smart thermostats reduce energy consumption, lowering greenhouse-gas emissions from natural-gas furnaces and electricity-powered A/C units. The companion apps provide real-time feedback, helping you set more efficient temperature schedules and track carbon savings over time.
