FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a remote-control thermostat in my Jonesborough home?
A smart, remote-control thermostat lets you adjust temperatures from anywhere via your phone or tablet, maintains more precise comfort settings, learns your usage patterns to reduce energy waste, and can cut heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %. It also provides maintenance alerts and detailed energy-use reports tailored to the East Tennessee climate.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
In most Jonesborough homes the answer is yes. Today’s smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, heat pump, and dual-fuel systems. During our free in-home assessment we verify your system’s wiring (including the presence of a C-wire), check voltage requirements, and recommend any low-cost adapters needed for seamless integration.
Do I need Wi-Fi to use a remote-control thermostat?
A Wi-Fi network is required to access remote features such as smartphone control, voice assistant integration, and real-time weather adjustments. If your home lacks reliable internet, the thermostat will still operate in manual mode at the wall unit, but you’ll miss out on mobile access and cloud-based energy-saving algorithms.
How difficult is the installation and can I do it myself?
Most models can be physically wired in under 30 minutes, but proper installation involves confirming low-voltage connections, configuring system settings, and registering the device online. To protect your HVAC warranty and ensure manufacturer rebates, we recommend professional installation by our licensed Jonesborough technicians, who also set up the app and provide a usage tutorial.
Are there rebates or incentives for thermostat upgrades in Washington County, TN?
Yes. Local utilities such as BrightRidge and TVA’s EnergyRight program often offer $50–$100 bill credits or mail-in rebates for qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats. We handle the paperwork, upload proof of installation, and apply any manufacturer promotions to lower your upfront cost.
What happens if the power or internet goes out?
Smart thermostats retain your programmed schedules in internal memory. During a power outage, your HVAC system—and therefore the thermostat—shuts down, but all settings are preserved. When electricity returns, the device resumes normal operation. If only the internet drops, local control at the wall unit continues unaffected until connectivity is restored.
