FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to an intelligent thermostat in Robbins?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, automatically adjust temperatures for comfort and efficiency, reduce energy use by 10-20 %, give you remote control via phone or voice assistant, provide detailed energy reports, and can qualify for local utility rebates—especially helpful in Robbins’ hot, humid summers and cool winters.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most intelligent thermostats are compatible with standard 24-volt forced-air furnaces, heat pumps, and central AC units found in Robbins homes. During our free in-home assessment we verify voltage, number of control wires, and whether you have a C-wire; if a C-wire is missing we can add a power kit or run a new conductor so the thermostat operates reliably.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost, including installation?
Prices vary by model and features, but most Wi-Fi thermostats range from $180 to $350. Professional installation in Robbins typically adds $120-$200, which includes wiring, programming, Wi-Fi setup, and a tutorial. After utility rebates (up to $100 from Duke Energy Progress) and energy savings, many homeowners recoup costs within 1–2 heating and cooling seasons.
Can I control the thermostat from my phone when I’m away?
Yes. All of the models we install connect to your home Wi-Fi. Using the manufacturer’s free iOS or Android app you can raise or lower the temperature, switch modes, set vacation schedules, and get maintenance alerts from anywhere you have an internet connection.
What happens if my internet goes down or the power goes out?
If Wi-Fi drops, the thermostat continues to follow the most recent schedule and can still be adjusted manually at the wall. During a power outage it turns off just like traditional thermostats, then automatically restarts and reconnects once power is restored—your settings and schedules are saved in its onboard memory.
How long does professional installation take and will you show me how to use it?
A standard thermostat replacement takes about 60–90 minutes. We shut off power, remove the old unit, confirm wiring, mount and level the new base, connect wires, power up, link to Wi-Fi, and run a full system test. Before we leave, we walk you through the mobile app, voice-control options, energy reports, and best-practice settings to maximize comfort and savings in Robbins’ climate.
