FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat when replacing or installing a new heating and air conditioning system?
A modern thermostat maximizes the efficiency of your new HVAC equipment. Advanced controls calibrate temperature more accurately, provide scheduling and remote access, and can learn your comfort preferences. In Lenoir City’s variable climate, this means your system runs only when needed, which can reduce energy costs by 10–20 percent and extend the life of your equipment.
What types of thermostats do you install for homeowners in Lenoir City?
We offer three main categories: (1) standard digital programmable thermostats, (2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats compatible with Alexa or Google Home, and (3) communicating thermostats that pair specifically with high-efficiency variable-speed HVAC systems. During your estimate, we explain the features, ensure compatibility with your equipment and wiring, and help you choose the best model for your lifestyle and budget.
How long does a thermostat upgrade take, and will my HVAC system be offline during installation?
Most upgrades take 45–90 minutes from power-down to full restart. We begin by safely shutting off power, labeling and transferring wires, mounting the new baseplate, verifying voltage, and completing system setup. Your heating or cooling will be offline only during this window, and we test every mode (heat, cool, fan, auxiliary heat) before leaving to confirm seamless operation.
Can a smart thermostat really lower my utility bills in Lenoir City’s climate?
Yes. Smart thermostats use occupancy sensors, geofencing, and adaptive learning to reduce run times while maintaining comfort. TVA estimates that residents can save $150–$200 annually by lowering setpoints when away or asleep. Many devices also provide monthly energy reports and local weather adjustments, helping you fine-tune settings for Lenoir City’s hot summers and mild winters.
Is my existing wiring compatible with today’s smart thermostats?
Most smart models require a common (C) wire for continuous power. Homes built after 2000 typically have this wire; older homes may not. We check your control board and wall bundle during the quote. If a C-wire is missing, we can often add one through the existing conduit, use a power-extender kit, or recommend a low-voltage adapter, ensuring a clean, code-compliant installation.
Do I need Wi-Fi for my new thermostat, and what happens if my internet goes down?
Wi-Fi is required for app control, voice commands, and over-the-air updates, but the thermostat will still manage temperature locally if the internet drops. It stores schedules and setpoints in its onboard memory, so heating and cooling continue normally. Once the connection is restored, it automatically resynchronizes with the cloud and resumes remote access features.
