FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat if my current one still works?
Modern smart and programmable thermostats provide precise temperature control, learn your comfort preferences, and can be controlled remotely from a phone or tablet. In Rogersville’s variable climate, these features can cut heating and cooling costs by 10-20 %, reduce wear on HVAC equipment, and improve overall indoor comfort compared to a manual or mercury thermostat.
Can a new thermostat really lower my energy bills in Rogersville?
Yes. ENERGY STAR studies show that households using a properly installed and programmed smart thermostat save about 8 % on annual HVAC energy use. In Rogersville, where both hot summers and chilly winters drive up energy consumption, setting automatic temperature setbacks when you’re asleep or away can translate into noticeable monthly savings.
Which thermostat features are best for homes with heat pumps or dual-fuel systems?
For heat pumps common in our region, choose a thermostat with adaptive or "intelligent" auxiliary heat control to minimize expensive strip-heat runtime. If you have a dual-fuel (heat pump + gas furnace) system, look for a thermostat that supports staged heat and outdoor temperature lockout, ensuring the system switches to the most efficient heat source automatically.
Do smart thermostats work with older HVAC systems?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with standard 24-volt HVAC equipment, even if the system is 10–20 years old. The main requirement is a "C-wire" (common wire) for continuous power. If your older furnace or air handler lacks a C-wire, our technicians can often add one or install a power extender so you can still upgrade without replacing the entire system.
What incentives or rebates are available in Rogersville for thermostat upgrades?
Customers of Southwest Electric Power Cooperative and Liberty Utilities may qualify for bill credits or rebates—typically $50–$100—when installing an ENERGY STAR-certified smart thermostat. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover 30 % of purchase and installation costs (up to $150). We’ll help you fill out the necessary paperwork to maximize your savings.
How long does professional thermostat installation take, and what’s included?
A standard upgrade appointment in the Rogersville area takes about 60–90 minutes. Our NATE-certified technician will: (1) verify HVAC compatibility, (2) remove the old thermostat, (3) install and level the new unit, (4) connect or supply a C-wire if needed, (5) configure Wi-Fi and the mobile app, (6) calibrate temperature sensors, and (7) walk you through programming and energy-saving tips. All work is backed by our one-year labor warranty.
