FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat to a smart model in New Tazewell?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, automatically adjust temperatures, and provide real-time energy-use data. In New Tazewell’s variable climate—hot, humid summers and chilly winters—these features help maintain comfort while reducing energy waste. Customers who upgrade typically see 10-20 % savings on annual heating and cooling costs, and most units pay for themselves within two heating-and-cooling seasons.
What thermostat upgrade options does Climate Control Technology offer?
We supply and install Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats, touchscreen programmable thermostats, and zoning-compatible thermostats. Models range from basic 5-2 day programming units to advanced systems with voice control and smart-home integration (Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit). Our Comfort Advisors help you choose a model that fits your budget, HVAC equipment, and desired feature set.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
In most cases, yes. During a free home evaluation, our technician checks your furnace or heat pump control board, condenser wiring, and the presence of a C-wire. We verify voltage (24 V or millivolt) and staging (single, two-stage, or variable-speed). If a C-wire is missing, we can often run a new conductor or supply a power extender kit so your upgraded thermostat functions reliably without impacting system warranties.
How much energy can I really save with a programmable or smart thermostat?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates savings of up to 10 % on heating and cooling when setbacks of 7–10 °F are used for 8 hours a day. Smart thermostats increase those savings by adapting to occupancy patterns, using geofencing, and factoring in local New Tazewell weather forecasts. Users who embrace these features commonly report monthly utility-bill reductions of $15–$30.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard replacement takes about 60–90 minutes. We shut off power to the HVAC equipment, label and disconnect the old thermostat wires, mount the new back-plate, confirm level installation, connect the wiring, and program the device. Afterward, we test heating, cooling, and fan modes, set up Wi-Fi, and walk you through the mobile app. Larger homes adding zoning or C-wire runs may extend the visit to 2–3 hours.
Can I control my upgraded thermostat remotely, and is the connection secure?
Yes. All our Wi-Fi thermostats include Android and iOS apps that let you adjust temperature, monitor indoor air quality sensors, and receive maintenance reminders from anywhere. Data is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols, and two-factor authentication can be enabled. We connect your thermostat to your home network with WPA2/WPA3 security and guide you on creating strong passwords to keep your system safe.
