FAQs
What is “smart scheduling” and how does it work with a modern thermostat?
Smart scheduling uses built-in sensors, weather data, and your preferred comfort settings to learn when you’re home, away, or asleep. Instead of one fixed daily program, the thermostat automatically adjusts temperatures in real time, trimming energy use when the house is empty and pre-conditioning rooms before you return.
Why is a smart thermostat upgrade a good idea for homes in New Tazewell, TN?
New Tazewell experiences humid summers in the 90 °F range and winters that frequently dip below freezing. A smart thermostat continuously reacts to those swings, sending cool air only when the heat index rises and dialing back the furnace during the warmer parts of a winter day. The result is steadier indoor comfort and up to 10-12 % savings on heating costs and 15-18 % on cooling, according to EPA studies for the Southeast.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Most smart models are compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, heat pump, and dual-fuel systems found throughout Claiborne County. If your current thermostat has a common (C) wire, installation is usually plug-and-play. Homes without a C-wire may need a small power adapter or a newer thermostat that can power-steal. Before scheduling an upgrade, we check system voltage, number of zones, and accessory controls (humidifier, dehumidifier, ERV) to confirm full compatibility.
What’s involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
A typical upgrade visit lasts 60–90 minutes. Our certified technician will: • Remove the old thermostat and label wiring • Mount the new smart baseplate and verify level positioning • Connect and tighten low-voltage wires, adding a C-wire adapter if required • Power up the thermostat, connect it to your home Wi-Fi, and run a full HVAC test cycle • Walk you through the mobile app, voice-assistant pairing, and first-week learning tips All work complies with Tennessee electrical and low-voltage codes, and we clean up before we leave.
How much will I save and are rebates available?
Savings depend on factors such as insulation quality and usage habits, but homeowners in the New Tazewell area typically report $120–$180 in annual utility reductions. Powell Valley Electric Cooperative (PVEC) and the TVA e-Score program frequently offer rebates of $50–$100 for qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats; we’ll process the paperwork for you so the discount shows up on your bill faster.
Do smart thermostats need an internet connection, and what happens if Wi-Fi goes out?
You’ll get the most functionality—remote control, weather-responsive scheduling, and energy reports—when the thermostat is connected to your 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz home network. If the internet or power drops, the thermostat reverts to onboard scheduling and manual temperature control, so your HVAC system keeps operating. As soon as the connection returns, cloud-based features resume automatically.
