FAQs
Why should I upgrade my existing thermostat instead of keeping the one that came with my HVAC system?
Today’s smart and programmable thermostats regulate temperature in much smaller increments than older mercury or basic digital models. In Kodak’s humid summers and chilly winters, that precision keeps rooms consistently comfortable while eliminating wide temperature swings that make equipment cycle on and off more often. The result is lower wear on your heating-and-cooling components, energy savings of 8-20 %, and the convenience of features like automatic schedule learning, usage reports, and remote control from your phone.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my current furnace and air conditioner?
Most modern Wi-Fi and learning thermostats are compatible with 24-volt forced-air systems (the vast majority of units installed around Kodak). If you have a heat pump, dual-fuel setup, or multi-stage equipment, we will verify wiring and control board capability during our free assessment. Older two-wire systems or millivolt gas heaters may need an inexpensive adapter or a C-wire added, which our technicians can install during the same visit.
How long does a professional thermostat upgrade take, and will my HVAC be offline?
A standard replacement in an accessible location usually takes 45–60 minutes, including removal of the old thermostat, verification of wiring, mounting and level-checking the new back-plate, connecting to Wi-Fi, and walking you through the app. Your heating or cooling will be powered down only during the final wiring steps—typically under 10 minutes—so comfort disruption is minimal.
What features should I look for in a thermostat to maximize energy savings in Kodak’s climate?
For East Tennessee’s broad temperature swings, choose a model with: (1) adaptive learning or geofencing to reduce run-time when no one is home, (2) humidity monitoring to trigger dehumidification in summer, (3) multi-stage or heat-pump balance points for efficient winter switchover, (4) Energy Star certification, and (5) detailed usage reports so you can see exactly when and why energy is being used and adjust schedules accordingly.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost and is financing available?
Installed prices in the Kodak area range from $225 for a basic 7-day programmable unit to $475–$675 for top-tier learning Wi-Fi models with voice-assistant integration. If extra wiring, a common-wire adapter, or zoning interface is needed, add $40–$150. We offer 0 % interest financing for up to 12 months on qualifying purchases, as well as manufacturer rebates and utility incentives that can offset $50–$100 of the upfront cost.
Do smart thermostats require ongoing maintenance or subscription fees?
The thermostat itself is virtually maintenance-free; just keep the screen clean and verify the firmware auto-updates via Wi-Fi. Most popular brands provide their mobile app and cloud connectivity at no cost. Optional premium analytics or extended warranty plans may be offered for a monthly fee, but they are not required for normal operation. We include a two-year labor warranty and will re-calibrate the thermostat during your annual HVAC tune-up at no extra charge.
