FAQs
Why should I upgrade my current thermostat?
New programmable and smart thermostats offer precise temperature control, automatic scheduling, remote access, and real-time energy-use reports. In the Georgetown climate—where heating is needed on chilly Hill Country mornings and cooling is essential in hot, humid afternoons—those features can cut energy waste and keep your home consistently comfortable without constant manual adjustments.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system in Georgetown?
In most cases, yes. Modern smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with the 24-volt (low-voltage) wiring used by the majority of forced-air gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioners found in Georgetown homes. During our free assessment we check the wiring, confirm whether you have a common (C) wire, and verify that advanced features such as dual-fuel or multi-stage capability match your current equipment.
How much can I expect to save on utility bills after a thermostat upgrade?
Savings vary by household, but Energy Star studies show programmable or smart thermostats can reduce heating and cooling costs by 8–15 %. For a typical Georgetown home with a combined annual HVAC cost of about $1,500, that translates to $120–$225 in yearly savings. Added benefits include fewer system run-times, which can extend HVAC equipment life.
What is involved in the professional installation process, and how long does it take?
Our certified technicians arrive with the new thermostat, confirm power is safely shut off, label and remove existing wires, install a new mounting plate, connect and test wiring, and program initial schedules tuned to Georgetown’s climate patterns. We also walk you through the mobile app setup. Most installations take 60–90 minutes and require no drywall repair or major electrical work.
Does a smart thermostat stop working if my Wi-Fi or internet goes down?
No. The thermostat will continue to control temperature locally using the schedule and on-device sensors even when it’s offline. You lose remote control and cloud-based energy reports until the connection is restored, but heating and cooling will keep running on the last programmed settings.
Are there any local rebates or code requirements for thermostat upgrades in Georgetown?
Yes. Georgetown Utility Systems (GUS) periodically offers rebates—currently up to $75—for Energy Star–certified smart thermostats installed by a licensed contractor. In addition, the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code adopted by the City of Georgetown requires newly installed thermostats to be capable of setback control. We handle the paperwork for rebates and ensure every installation meets city permit and code standards.
