FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat in Lake City?
Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you precise temperature control, adapts to Lake City’s warm, humid summers and cool winters, and can cut energy use by 10-20%. New models learn your schedule, let you adjust settings from your phone, and alert you to maintenance issues before they become costly repairs.
What kinds of thermostats do your skilled technicians install?
We install basic digital, 7-day programmable, Wi-Fi–enabled, and full smart thermostats that integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Our technicians will evaluate your current HVAC equipment, electrical setup, and lifestyle goals to recommend the ideal model for comfort and efficiency.
Will a smart thermostat work with my older heating and air conditioning system?
In most cases, yes. Even systems 15–20 years old can accept a modern thermostat as long as the control wiring is intact. Our Lake City technicians check voltage, C-wire availability, and staging requirements to ensure compatibility. If needed, we can install an add-a-wire kit or power extender to make the upgrade possible without replacing your furnace or heat pump.
How long does a thermostat upgrade take and will it interrupt my comfort?
A standard replacement takes about 45–90 minutes. We shut off power, remove the old unit, label and verify wiring, install the new thermostat base, connect wires, mount the display, and perform a system test. Your HVAC will be off only briefly; most homes experience no noticeable temperature drop.
Can a new thermostat really lower my energy bills?
Yes. ENERGY STAR estimates that a properly programmed thermostat saves the average household about $180 per year. By automatically reducing heating and cooling when you’re asleep or away, it prevents waste. Smart thermostats also provide usage reports and remote access so you can fine-tune settings for additional savings, especially during Lake City’s peak summer cooling season.
Do you offer setup help and ongoing support after installation?
Absolutely. Our technicians configure schedules, connect the thermostat to your Wi-Fi network, walk you through the mobile app, and show you how to create temperature zones or voice commands. We include a 1-year labor warranty, phone support, and optional annual maintenance plans to keep both your thermostat and HVAC system performing flawlessly.
