FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a smart thermostat for my Harriman home or business?
Harriman’s four-season climate means your HVAC system runs much of the year. A smart thermostat learns your schedule, senses when you’re away, and automatically adjusts heating and cooling, cutting wasted runtime. You can monitor temperatures remotely, receive maintenance alerts, and access detailed energy reports—all of which improve comfort and typically reduce utility costs by 10–20 percent.
Which smart thermostat brands do you install and support?
We are factory-trained and certified to install, program, and service leading platforms such as Google Nest, ecobee, Honeywell Home, Emerson Sensi, and Lennox iComfort. If you already own a different brand, our technicians can usually integrate it as long as it meets North American safety standards and is compatible with your HVAC equipment.
Will a smart thermostat really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. By using occupancy sensors, geofencing, weather forecasting, and adaptive learning, smart thermostats can significantly reduce run time without sacrificing comfort. Independent studies from the EPA and ENERGY STAR show average annual savings of $131–$145 for a typical single-family residence—often enough to pay for the upgrade in 1–2 heating/cooling seasons.
Can a smart thermostat work with my existing furnace, heat pump, or AC?
In most cases, yes. Today’s smart thermostats are designed to operate with 24-volt forced-air furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps (including dual-fuel), and even multi-stage or variable-speed equipment. During a free on-site evaluation, we’ll verify control voltage, staging, and any accessory devices (humidifier, dehumidifier, ERV) to ensure full compatibility.
Do I need Wi-Fi or special wiring for the upgrade?
A constant Wi-Fi connection unlocks the remote control and energy-report features, but the thermostat will still regulate temperature without internet. Most smart stats require a common “C” wire for continuous power. If your system lacks one, we can often repurpose an extra conductor or install an add-a-wire kit or 24-V power extender during the same visit.
How long does professional installation take and what does it cost?
A standard swap-out usually takes 45–90 minutes, including wiring checks, Wi-Fi setup, software updates, and personalized programming. Pricing in the Harriman area starts at $225 installed (customer-supplied device) or $395 with an ENERGY STAR-rated thermostat included. All installations come with a one-year labor warranty and manufacturer’s parts warranty handling.
