FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat if my current one still works?
Modern thermostats do much more than simply turn the system on and off. Upgrading gives you better temperature accuracy, automatic scheduling, remote control from your phone, real-time energy-use data, maintenance reminders, and even integration with air-quality accessories. In La Follette’s mixed climate—hot, humid summers and cool winters—those features translate into lower utility bills, greater comfort, and fewer surprise breakdowns.
What types of thermostats are available, and how do I choose the right one for my La Follette home?
The three main categories are (1) Non-programmable digital thermostats—basic push-button models, (2) Programmable thermostats that let you preset temperatures for weekdays/weekends or each day, and (3) Wi-Fi “smart” thermostats that learn your habits, use geofencing, and respond to voice assistants. Choice depends on your HVAC equipment (single-stage, multi-stage, or heat pump), whether you want humidity control, and how tech-savvy your household is. Perfect Temperature’s technicians can evaluate your system and recommend a model that maximizes savings without sacrificing ease of use.
How much can a smart thermostat save me on energy costs?
EPA studies show properly used programmable or smart thermostats can cut heating and cooling costs by 10 % on average. In the TVA region, we see customers in La Follette save $120–$180 per year—or up to 15 %—by letting the thermostat auto-adjust when the house is empty, optimizing heat-pump balance points, and using weather-adaptive algorithms. Over the life of the thermostat, those savings usually pay for the device several times over.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most homes in Campbell County use 24-volt (low-voltage) HVAC controls, and nearly all modern thermostats, including smart models, are designed for that standard. Our installers always verify compatibility with heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, multi-stage furnaces, or add-ons like whole-house humidifiers. If your system needs a common (C) wire or a special adapter, we’ll provide and install it so you get full functionality without damaging the equipment warranty.
Can I install a thermostat myself or should I hire a professional?
Some homeowners can replace a basic thermostat, but mistakes—crossed wires, missing C-wire, incorrect heat-pump settings—can short out control boards or make the system run inefficiently. A professional installation ensures correct wiring, programmed schedules tailored to our local TVA rate structure, user training on the app, and registration for warranty and rebate programs. The small labor cost is usually offset by the peace of mind and energy savings.
Are there rebates or incentives for thermostat upgrades in La Follette?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program currently offers a $50 instant rebate on qualifying smart thermostats and periodic bill credits if you participate in demand-response events. Many utility customers also receive $20–$40 annual incentives for allowing brief HVAC cycling on peak days. On the federal level, the 25C tax credit covers 30 % of thermostat cost up to $600 when installed with a high-efficiency HVAC system. We handle the paperwork and provide receipts so you can claim every available dollar.
