FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat instead of keeping my old manual model?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats give you precise temperature control, automatic scheduling, and real-time data about your energy use. In a climate like New Tazewell’s—where summer highs and winter lows can both be extreme—those features translate to better comfort and as much as 10–20 % lower utility bills. Newer models also reduce the temperature swings typical of mercury or basic digital thermostats, helping your HVAC system cycle less often and last longer.
What kinds of thermostat upgrades do you install for New Tazewell homeowners?
We carry standard 5-2/7-day programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell, and Emerson Sensi), and advanced communicating models designed for high-efficiency variable-speed HVAC systems. All versions include easy-to-read backlit displays, touch-screen or app control, and ENERGY STAR certification where applicable. During an in-home visit we match your equipment, ductwork, and lifestyle to the most compatible thermostat.
Is my existing heating and air conditioning system compatible with a smart thermostat?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians start by checking the control board, voltage, and number of wires available at your current thermostat location. Older furnaces and heat pumps sometimes lack a common (C) wire, but we can usually add one or install a power-extender kit. For homes with multi-stage, dual-fuel, or geothermal systems, we recommend specific models that recognize those modes automatically so you keep every efficiency feature you paid for.
How much will I really save on energy costs after an upgrade?
Savings depend on how consistently you use scheduling and remote access, but Department of Energy studies show that properly programmed thermostats cut heating costs by roughly 10 % and cooling costs by 15 %. For an average New Tazewell household that spends $1,700 a year on utilities, that can mean $170–$250 back in your pocket every year, paying for the thermostat and installation in one to three seasons.
What does the professional installation process look like and how long does it take?
A typical thermostat replacement requires about 60–90 minutes. We shut off power to the HVAC equipment, label and transfer wiring, level and mount the new baseplate, and confirm all low-voltage connections. After restoring power, we program your preferred schedules, connect the unit to your home’s Wi-Fi, download the companion app to your phone, and walk you through everyday operation. Before leaving, we test both heating and cooling modes to verify the system cycles correctly.
Can I control my upgraded thermostat remotely and will it integrate with smart-home devices?
All of our Wi-Fi and smart thermostat options include free iOS and Android apps that let you adjust temperature, change schedules, and view energy usage from anywhere with an internet connection. Many models also support voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, as well as IFTTT applets for advanced automations like geofencing. If you have existing smart lights, security cameras, or a whole-home hub, we can help you link the new thermostat so everything works together seamlessly.
