FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat when replacing or servicing my HVAC system in Englewood?
Modern thermostats—especially programmable and smart models—allow much finer control over temperature scheduling, remote access, and energy-saving features such as learning algorithms and occupancy sensors. In Englewood’s climate, where summer highs and winter lows can both be extreme, this tighter control can reduce run-time, improve comfort, and typically cut annual heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %. A new thermostat also ensures full compatibility with today’s high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems.
Are smart thermostats compatible with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Most smart thermostats work with the 24-volt (low-voltage) systems found in the majority of Englewood homes, including conventional gas/electric furnaces, central air conditioners, heat pumps, and multi-stage units. If you have a high-voltage baseboard heater or a proprietary communicating HVAC system, a special model or interface may be required. During an on-site assessment we verify wiring (C-wire availability), staging, humidifier/dehumidifier hookups, and overall system capacity to recommend a thermostat that will function flawlessly with your current equipment.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after installing a programmable or smart thermostat?
Savings depend on lifestyle, house insulation, and the temperature setbacks you choose, but the U.S. Department of Energy estimates 1 % savings for every 1 °F you lower the heat (or raise the cool set-point) over an eight-hour period. Typical Englewood homeowners who program a 7–10 °F setback while at work and overnight often see $120–$200 in annual utility savings. Smart thermostats that use geofencing and learning schedules can push those savings even higher by automatically optimizing runtimes based on real-time occupancy and outdoor weather data.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard thermostat replacement generally takes about 60–90 minutes. Our technician will (1) shut off power to the HVAC system, (2) remove the old thermostat, (3) verify and label existing wires, (4) install a C-wire or power extender if needed, (5) mount and level the new thermostat base, (6) reconnect wiring, (7) restore power, and (8) program initial settings and connect the unit to Wi-Fi. Before leaving, we walk you through the app, scheduling features, and any energy reports so you are comfortable operating the new control.
Are there local rebates or incentives available in Englewood for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Xcel Energy and other Colorado utilities frequently offer $50–$125 instant rebates or bill credits for ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. Englewood residents may also qualify for additional incentives through the Colorado Energy Office’s rebate portal or seasonal promotions from manufacturers. We handle the paperwork and submit proof-of-installation so you receive the rebate without hassle.
Do I need Wi-Fi or a mobile app to use a smart thermostat, and what happens if the internet goes out?
A wireless network unlocks the full feature set—remote control, energy usage reports, weather tracking, and voice-assistant integration. However, the thermostat will still maintain your heating and cooling schedules locally if Wi-Fi or the internet is unavailable. You can always adjust temperature settings manually on the device. When connectivity is restored, the thermostat automatically resynchronizes with the app and cloud services.
