FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat instead of keeping my current manual model?
Modern thermostats automatically adjust heating and cooling based on your schedule, occupancy, and outdoor conditions. In Jefferson City’s four-season climate, this can trim energy use by 8–20 %, improve indoor comfort, provide detailed usage reports, and let you control settings from your smartphone. A newer thermostat can also prolong HVAC equipment life by preventing unnecessary run-times.
How can I tell whether my existing heating and air-conditioning system is compatible with a smart thermostat?
Most gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioners installed in Mid-Missouri during the last 20 years are compatible, but the safest way is to have a technician look for a C-wire, verify voltage (24 V vs. line-voltage), and check any multi-stage or variable-speed controls. Our Jefferson City HVAC experts perform a free compatibility inspection before recommending a device.
Do your technicians handle the complete installation and setup of Wi-Fi thermostats?
Yes. We remove the old unit, install the new baseplate and wiring, program temperature schedules, connect the device to your home Wi-Fi, and train you on the phone app and voice-assistant features. We also register the thermostat for warranty purposes and test every HVAC mode to be sure the system responds properly.
Will a thermostat upgrade really lower my utility bills in Jefferson City?
Missouri households spend about half their energy budget on space heating and cooling. By automatically lowering the temperature when you’re asleep or away and optimizing recovery times, a smart thermostat can cut annual utility costs by $50–$200. Savings are highest during Jefferson City’s hot, humid summers and cold winter nights when run-times are longest.
Are there local rebates or incentives available for installing a smart thermostat?
Yes. Ameren Missouri typically offers $50–$100 bill credits for ENERGY STAR®-certified smart thermostats, and some rural electric cooperatives provide instant discounts. Our office keeps current forms on file and will submit the paperwork for you, ensuring you receive any state, utility, or manufacturer incentives you qualify for.
How long does installation take and what does it usually cost?
A standard retrofit takes about 60–90 minutes. If your system needs a new C-wire run or low-voltage repairs, add another hour. Basic programmable thermostats start around $150 installed, while premium Wi-Fi models with learning algorithms, geofencing, and voice control range from $300–$500 installed.
