FAQs
What advantages will I see by upgrading to an energy-smart thermostat in Briceville?
Energy-smart thermostats automatically learn your comfort preferences, adjust temperatures based on occupancy, and optimize run-times during Briceville’s humid summers and mild winters. Homeowners typically experience 10-20 % lower energy use, more even temperatures throughout the day, remote monitoring while you’re away, and a smaller carbon footprint.
Will an energy-smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Nearly all modern 24-volt HVAC systems—gas furnaces, electric air handlers, heat pumps, dual-fuel setups, and central AC units—are compatible. We perform a free wiring and control-board check before installation and supply common-wire adaptors when needed. Baseboard heaters or high-voltage systems require a specialized model, which we can also provide.
How much money can I expect to save on my utility bills?
Savings vary with usage habits, but studies by the U.S. DOE show 10-15 % lower heating costs and 15 % lower cooling costs. For a typical Briceville home that spends about $1,200 on HVAC annually, that equates to roughly $120–$200 back in your pocket every year, paying for the thermostat in one to two seasons.
Can I control my new thermostat when I’m not at home?
Yes. All of our energy-smart models connect to your home Wi-Fi and give you full control through iOS and Android apps, web dashboards, and voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. You can change set-points, view current temperature and humidity, receive maintenance alerts, and even track energy consumption from anywhere.
How long does professional installation take, and will it disrupt my day?
A standard upgrade takes 60–90 minutes. Our technician shuts off power, removes the old thermostat, verifies wiring, mounts the new unit, programs schedules, and shows you how to use the app. HVAC downtime is usually under 30 minutes, and we clean up completely before leaving.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for smart thermostat upgrades in Briceville?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program currently offers a $50 instant rebate for qualifying Wi-Fi thermostats, and some local utilities add another $25–$75 bill credit. You may also claim a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $150) under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. We supply all receipts and help with the online rebate submission.
