FAQs
Why should I consider a thermostat upgrade for my Jonesborough home?
Older manual or basic programmable thermostats can misread temperatures, cycle your HVAC system too often, and lack modern energy-saving features. Upgrading to a new smart or advanced programmable thermostat improves temperature accuracy, optimizes run times for our humid subtropical climate, and can cut annual heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %. You also gain convenient app control, voice integration, maintenance alerts, and detailed energy-use reports that help you fine-tune comfort while lowering utility bills.
What types of thermostats do you install and which is best for me?
We offer three main categories: (1) non-Wi-Fi digital programmable thermostats, perfect for homeowners who want set-and-forget scheduling without internet connectivity; (2) Wi-Fi programmable models that allow remote adjustments through a smartphone app; and (3) full smart learning thermostats such as Nest, ecobee, or Honeywell Home, which learn your habits, use occupancy/motion sensors, integrate with smart speakers, and tap into local weather data to maximize efficiency. The best choice depends on your desired features, budget, and whether you plan to integrate the thermostat with other smart-home devices.
Will a new thermostat work with my current heating and air-conditioning system?
In most Jonesborough homes, yes. Modern thermostats are designed to be compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-speed gas furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems common in Northeast Tennessee. Before installation, our technicians verify wiring (checking for a C-wire or power-extender module), system voltage (low-voltage 24 V vs. high-voltage line-voltage), and special requirements like humidifier or dehumidifier control. If upgrades are needed—such as adding a C-wire—we can handle that during the same visit.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost and what savings can I expect?
Installed prices in the Jonesborough area generally range from $175–$275 for a quality programmable thermostat and $325–$475 for a top-tier smart thermostat, including professional setup and a quick tutorial. According to ENERGY STAR and TVA data, homeowners who switch from a manual thermostat to a properly programmed smart unit typically save $130–$180 per year on electric and natural-gas bills—meaning most upgrades pay for themselves in two to three seasons.
What is the installation process and how long will my HVAC be offline?
A standard thermostat replacement takes about 60–90 minutes. We start by shutting off power to the indoor air handler, labeling and disconnecting the existing thermostat wires, installing the new mounting plate and level, connecting the wires to the correct terminals, and powering the system back on. We then program your preferred schedules, link the thermostat to your Wi-Fi network, and show you how to use the mobile app. Your HVAC system is typically down for less than 30 minutes during the swap.
Are there local rebates or incentives for smart thermostats in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local power companies such as BrightRidge often run seasonal promotions that provide bill credits or $50–$100 rebates when you install an ENERGY STAR-certified smart thermostat. Some utility marketplaces even offer instant discounts at checkout. Our office keeps track of current programs for the Jonesborough ZIP codes 37659 and 37681 and can submit the paperwork on your behalf so you receive any available incentives quickly.
