FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat with State-of-the-Art Solutions Heating & Air Conditioning?
Older manual and programmable thermostats can only adjust temperature at set intervals, while modern smart thermostats constantly learn your schedule, sense occupancy, and optimize run times. Upgrading reduces energy waste, improves indoor comfort, allows remote control from a phone, and can extend HVAC equipment life by preventing short-cycling. Luttrell homeowners typically see 8–15 % savings on annual heating and cooling costs after switching to a smart model installed and configured by our NATE-certified technicians.
Which smart thermostat brands and models do you install in Luttrell?
We are factory-trained dealers for Ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home (T-Series & Lyric), and Carrier Infinity thermostats. Each line offers Wi-Fi connectivity, voice-assistant compatibility, adaptive learning, and energy-usage reporting. During your free in-home assessment we help you compare features—such as geofencing, multi-zone control, and indoor-air-quality integration—to choose a model that matches your HVAC equipment, budget, and desired smart-home ecosystem.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians verify the control board voltage (24 V conventional or 2-wire heat-pump), available C-wire, number of heating/cooling stages, and accessories like humidifiers. If you lack a C-wire, we can install a power extender kit or run a new conductor. We also program advanced settings—heat-pump balance points, auxiliary lockout, and dehumidification over-cool—to ensure the thermostat communicates properly with gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, dual-fuel, or mini-split systems common in Luttrell homes.
How long does thermostat installation take, and will I lose heating or cooling during the process?
A standard replacement normally takes 45–90 minutes. We begin by shutting off power at the service switch, labeling existing wires, mounting the new base plate, verifying level, and completing wiring connections. Once the unit powers up, we run an equipment test cycle and walk you through app pairing and schedule setup. Your HVAC system is offline only during the wiring stage—typically less than 20 minutes—so comfort disruption is minimal.
What kind of energy savings and features can I expect after the upgrade?
Energy Star tests show certified smart thermostats save users an average of $131 per year. Features that drive savings include occupancy sensors that switch to Eco mode when you leave, local weather response that adjusts set-points automatically, and smart alerts that remind you to change filters. Many models also provide monthly energy reports and real-time usage graphs so you can fine-tune settings for maximum efficiency.
Are there rebates or incentives for smart thermostat upgrades in Luttrell or the state of Tennessee?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) eScore program periodically offers $50-$100 bill credits for installing qualifying smart thermostats. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may cover 30 % of total project cost (up to $600) when the thermostat is part of an Energy Star certified HVAC upgrade. We handle all rebate paperwork and supply AHRI certificates so you receive every dollar of available incentive.
