FAQs
Why should I upgrade my old thermostat to a modern programmable or smart thermostat in Friendsville?
Friendsville’s weather swings from hot, humid summers to crisp winter nights, so precise temperature control can noticeably improve comfort and efficiency. Modern programmable and smart thermostats learn your schedule, automatically adjust set-points, and provide remote control from a phone or voice assistant. When installed and programmed correctly, they typically cut heating and cooling costs 8–15 %, reduce HVAC wear, and keep indoor temperatures within ±1 °F of the target—much tighter than older mercury or manual models.
What types of thermostat upgrades do you offer for precise temperature control?
We stock and install three main categories. (1) 7-day or 5-2-day programmable thermostats that let you pre-set different temperatures for weekdays and weekends. (2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats that use geofencing, occupancy sensors, and weather data to fine-tune output. (3) Advanced zoning and communicating thermostats that pair with variable-speed furnaces and heat pumps for room-by-room precision. All models include large back-lit displays, Fahrenheit/Celsius toggles, and high-accuracy solid-state sensors.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
In almost every case, yes. Before recommending a model our technicians check the control voltage (24 V or line-voltage), number of stages (single-stage, two-stage, or modulating), and whether you have gas, electric, dual-fuel, or a heat pump. We also verify that the common (C) wire is present for Wi-Fi units; if not, we can add one or install a power-extender kit. During installation we test all modes—heat, cool, auxiliary heat, emergency heat, and fan—so you leave with a fully compatible, manufacturer-warranted setup.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a smart thermostat?
Savings depend on your current habits, insulation, and equipment efficiency, but local customers typically report $120 to $180 in annual utility savings. TVA data show that every degree of setback for eight hours saves roughly 2 % on heating or cooling costs. Smart thermostats automate multiple set-backs per day and can reduce runtime 200–300 hours per year, paying for themselves in 12–24 months while shrinking your carbon footprint.
Do you offer professional installation and setup, or can I install the thermostat myself?
DIY installation is possible for low-voltage systems, but many homeowners prefer our certified technicians to handle wiring, firmware updates, Wi-Fi pairing, and tutorial walkthroughs. Professional installation includes: removal of the old unit, safe disconnect of live wires, wall patch/leveling, secure mounting, configuration of schedules, integration with Alexa/Google/Apple Home, and a 1-year labor warranty. We can usually install the same day and dispose of the old mercury thermostat according to EPA guidelines.
Are there any local incentives or rebates available in Friendsville for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Through TVA’s EnergyRight program, Blount County residents can receive a $50 bill credit when they install a qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostat with professional verification. Some electric cooperatives offer additional seasonal rebates, and we’ll file all paperwork on your behalf. Smart thermostats also qualify for the federal 25C tax credit—30 % of cost up to $150—under the Inflation Reduction Act, which you can claim on your next tax return.
