FAQs
How does a smart thermostat improve the efficiency of my air conditioning system in Kelsoâs climate?
Smart thermostats use built-in sensors, weather data for Kelso, and learning algorithms to adjust cooling cycles precisely. By running the AC only when needed, staging compressor speeds, and pre-cooling during off-peak hours, many households see energy savings of 10â20 %. The thermostat can also account for Kelsoâs cooler nights, temporarily shutting off the AC and using fan-only ventilation to maintain comfort.
Can a smart thermostat work with both my existing furnace and air conditioner?
Yes. Most smart thermostats are designed to control multi-stage gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, and central air conditioners from the same interface. During installation, our technicians will connect the thermostatâs dedicated heating (W), cooling (Y), fan (G), and common (C) terminals to your system so it can seamlessly manage heating in winter and cooling in summer.
Will a smart thermostat require a C-wire, and what if my current Kelso home setup doesnât have one?
A constant 24-volt âC-wireâ supplies power to advanced features such as Wi-Fi and display backlighting. If your thermostat cabling lacks a C-wire, our team can often: 1) repurpose an unused conductor, 2) install a C-wire adapter, or 3) run a new low-voltage cable. Weâll inspect your wiring at the estimate visit and recommend the simplest, code-compliant solution.
How can I control my smart thermostat when Iâm away from home?
Once connected to your homeâs Wi-Fi network, the thermostat can be managed through a secure smartphone app or web portal. You can set schedules, switch between heating and cooling, and receive high-temperature alertsâuseful during Kelsoâs occasional heat waves. Voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit are also supported on most models.
Do smart thermostats qualify for any rebates or incentives in Kelso or Cowlitz County?
Yes. Clark Public Utilities and Cowlitz PUD periodically offer energy-efficiency rebatesâtypically $50â$100âfor qualifying ENERGY STARÂŽ smart thermostats. Washington State also exempts certain efficiency upgrades from sales tax. Weâll provide the current rebate forms and submit installation documentation so you can claim every eligible incentive.
What maintenance should I perform after installing a smart thermostat?
Beyond normal HVAC maintenanceâchanging filters quarterly and scheduling annual tune-upsâthe thermostat itself needs little care. Keep the screen clean, update the firmware through the app, and check that the Wi-Fi connection remains stable. Our installation includes a brief tutorial and a 12-month support period to answer any post-install questions.
