FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat in Sunbright?
Older manual or early-generation programmable thermostats can be inaccurate and lack energy-saving features. Modern smart thermostats learn your schedule, provide remote access with a phone app, offer detailed energy reports, and can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %. In Sunbright’s variable climate, these features keep your home comfortable year-round while lowering monthly utility bills.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most newer gas furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners in Sunbright are compatible with Wi-Fi or smart thermostats that use the common (C) wire. During our free onsite assessment we verify system voltage, staging (single-stage, multi-stage, or modulating), and whether accessories like humidifiers are connected. If your system lacks a C-wire, we can often install an inexpensive add-a-wire kit or recommend a battery-powered model.
Can I control my thermostat remotely?
Yes. Once the thermostat is connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network, you can adjust temperature, change modes, and view energy history from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Many Sunbright homeowners use this feature to warm the house before arriving from work or to monitor vacation properties.
How long does professional thermostat installation take, and what does it include?
A standard replacement typically takes 60–90 minutes. Our Sunbright technicians remove the old unit, label and transfer wires, verify proper voltage, mount and level the new thermostat, connect it to Wi-Fi, update firmware, program initial schedules, and teach you how to use the app. We also test heating and cooling cycles to confirm correct operation.
What rebates or incentives are available in Sunbright for thermostat upgrades?
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally offers rebates on ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats—usually $50–$75—when installed by a qualified contractor. Some electric cooperatives serving Sunbright provide bill credits or seasonal promotions. We stay current on all incentives and help you file the necessary documentation to maximize savings.
Will a smart thermostat still work during a power or internet outage?
If power is lost, the thermostat and HVAC equipment will be off just like traditional models. When electricity returns, most smart thermostats automatically reboot with saved settings. If your internet drops but power remains, the thermostat continues to follow its programmed schedule and maintains temperature; you simply won’t have remote access until the connection is restored.
