FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping the old manual model?
Newer digital and smart thermostats give you much tighter temperature control—usually within ±1°F compared to ±5°F for older bimetal models. That precision reduces temperature swings, keeps your home more comfortable during Sweetwater’s hot summers and chilly winter nights, and can cut energy use by 8-15 % because the HVAC equipment runs only as long as it needs to.
What thermostat options do you offer for Sweetwater homes?
We install three main categories: (1) Non-programmable digital thermostats for simple, accurate set-and-forget control; (2) 5-2 or 7-day programmable thermostats that automatically change set points based on your schedule; and (3) Wi-Fi/“smart” thermostats such as Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell T-series that learn your habits, provide app and voice control, and integrate with smart-home systems.
Will a new thermostat be compatible with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
In nearly every case, yes. Modern thermostats work with single-stage, multi-stage, variable-speed, heat-pump, and dual-fuel systems. During our free onsite evaluation we check the control board, transformer voltage (24 V or 24/110 V), and available wires in the wall. If additional conductors are needed—for example, for a common (C) wire—we can usually add an adapter or fish new low-voltage wiring during installation.
How much money can I expect to save after upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat?
Savings depend on how you currently operate your HVAC equipment, but Department of Energy studies show average Sweetwater homeowners save $120–$180 per year when they set back the temperature 7–10°F for 8 hours a day. Smart thermostats make those setbacks automatic and optimize run times, often delivering payback on the device in 12–24 months.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
A typical thermostat upgrade takes about 60–90 minutes. We shut off power to the air handler, remove the old thermostat, label and test each conductor, mount the new backplate with a level, connect the wires, and program the device for your equipment type and desired schedule. Before leaving we verify heating, cooling, and fan operation, connect the unit to your home Wi-Fi (if applicable), and give you a quick tutorial.
Can I control my new thermostat remotely or with voice commands?
Yes. All of our Wi-Fi models come with Android/iOS apps for real-time control from anywhere you have an internet connection. They also integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit so you can raise or lower the temperature with simple voice commands. For extra peace of mind, you can receive push alerts if indoor temperatures exceed preset limits—handy when Sweetwater heat waves or winter freezes threaten pets, pipes, or sensitive equipment.
