FAQs
Why should I upgrade my current thermostat to a smart or programmable model?
Modern smart and programmable thermostats learn your schedule, let you change temperatures remotely, and fine-tune run times to within half a degree. In Cumberland Gap’s climate, that can reduce annual heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %, improve indoor comfort by eliminating hot and cold spots, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment by preventing short-cycling.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with the standard 24-volt systems found in the majority of Cumberland Gap homes. During our in-home assessment we test the wiring, check whether you have a common (C) wire, and verify that your furnace, heat pump, or dual-fuel system supports advanced features such as multi-stage heating. If an adapter or additional wire is needed, we can install it the same day.
How long does thermostat installation take and will my HVAC be offline for long?
A straightforward swap takes about 45–60 minutes. We power down your HVAC equipment, remove the old thermostat, label and connect the wiring, mount and level the new unit, restore power, and run a full system check. Your HVAC is typically offline for less than 20 minutes, and we never leave until the new thermostat is fully programmed and communicating with your mobile devices.
What kind of energy savings can I realistically expect in Cumberland Gap?
Because our region sees both humid summers and chilly winters, heating and cooling accounts for up to 50 % of a home’s energy use. Customers who install a properly programmed smart thermostat report average savings of $150–$250 per year. Features like geofencing, adaptive recovery, and local weather tracking fine-tune run times so you only pay for the comfort you actually need.
Are there rebates or incentives available for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Many Tennessee utilities, including Powell Valley Electric Cooperative and TVA’s EnergyRight program, offer bill credits or rebates—often $50–$100—for ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. We handle the paperwork, supply itemized receipts, and provide manufacturer specification sheets so you can claim any available federal tax incentives as well.
What kind of support and warranty come with my new thermostat?
All thermostats we install carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 3–5 years. Our labor is guaranteed for a full year, which means we’ll return at no charge if you experience connectivity issues, temperature swing problems, or error codes. We also include a complimentary 30-day follow-up call to ensure your schedules are optimized for Cumberland Gap’s seasonal changes.
