FAQs
What benefits will a Wi-Fi–enabled thermostat bring to my Heiskell home?
A smart thermostat lets you monitor and adjust temperatures from anywhere using a phone or tablet, set automatic schedules that match your lifestyle, receive maintenance alerts, and view detailed energy-use reports. In Heiskell’s variable climate this means better comfort, fewer temperature swings, and typical energy-cost reductions of 10–20 % compared with a manual or basic programmable thermostat.
Is my current heating and air-conditioning system compatible with a Wi-Fi thermostat upgrade?
Most central HVAC systems found in Heiskell—whether gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel, or electric air handlers—work with today’s smart thermostats. The key is having the correct control wires, especially a common (C) wire for continuous power. During our in-home assessment we verify wiring, voltage (24 V low-voltage systems are standard), and accessory controls like humidifiers before recommending a model.
What happens if my home internet goes down—will the thermostat still work?
Yes. The thermostat continues to operate your heating and cooling equipment using the last programmed schedule and its onboard temperature sensors. You can also make manual adjustments at the wall unit. Remote access and cloud-based features will pause until the Wi-Fi connection is restored.
How much money can I save by upgrading to a Wi-Fi thermostat?
Actual savings depend on your habits, insulation levels, and equipment efficiency, but national studies show average reductions of $131–$200 per year. Many Heiskell homeowners see a payback in under two heating-and-cooling seasons thanks to optimized schedules, adaptive learning, and automatic setback when the house is unoccupied.
What is involved in a professional installation and how long will it take?
Our technician removes the old thermostat, confirms proper power shut-off, installs a C-wire or power extender if needed, mounts the new thermostat, and connects it to your HVAC control board. We then link the device to your home Wi-Fi, walk you through the mobile app, and help set initial schedules. Most installations take 60–90 minutes with minimal disruption.
Are there rebates or incentives available for smart thermostat upgrades in the Heiskell area?
Yes. Many East Tennessee utilities, including those served by the TVA EnergyRight program, offer $50–$100 bill credits or rebates for ENERGY STAR®-certified smart thermostats. Federal tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act may cover 30 % of the cost (up to $600) when paired with other efficiency upgrades. We provide paperwork and guidance so you can claim every dollar available.
