FAQs
What advantages will I see when I upgrade to a modern thermostat for my Pelham home?
A new programmable or smart thermostat lets you set precise heating and cooling schedules, make adjustments from your phone, and track energy use in real time. In Pelham’s variable climate, that can translate to 8–15 % lower utility costs, more consistent indoor comfort, and reduced wear on your HVAC equipment because it no longer short-cycles or runs longer than necessary.
Which thermostat models do your certified technicians recommend and install?
We work with leading brands such as Honeywell, ecobee, Nest, and Emerson. Options range from basic 5-2 programmable units to full Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats that learn your routines and integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. During a free in-home assessment, our NATE-certified technician will evaluate your current HVAC system, wiring, and lifestyle to guide you toward the model that best fits your comfort goals, budget, and future expansion plans (zoning, IAQ equipment, etc.).
How long does the upgrade process take, and will my heating or cooling be offline for long?
Most thermostat replacements take 45–90 minutes. We begin by shutting off power to your air handler and furnace for safety, remove the old thermostat, confirm or add a C-wire if needed, mount and level the new backplate, connect the wiring to the manufacturer’s specifications, power up the HVAC system, and program your preferred settings. Your heating and cooling are typically offline for less than 30 minutes.
Can a new thermostat really reduce my energy bills in Pelham’s climate?
Yes. DOE studies show homeowners who switch from a manual dial thermostat to a properly programmed smart device save an average of $180 per year. In Pelham, where we experience hot, humid summers and chilly winters, cutting back HVAC run-time during unoccupied hours delivers noticeable savings. Some smart models even use local Pelham utility rate data and weather forecasts to pre-heat or pre-cool when electricity is cheapest.
Are your technicians certified, and what warranties come with the installation?
Every member of our thermostat upgrade team holds current NATE and EPA Section 608 certifications, proving their expertise in low-voltage controls and HVAC systems. We back our workmanship with a 2-year labor warranty, and you’ll also receive the manufacturer’s 3- to 5-year parts warranty (varies by model). If any installation-related issue arises within the warranty window, we will correct it at no charge.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost and are rebates available in Pelham?
Installed pricing typically ranges from $249 for a basic programmable unit to $499–$699 for a top-tier learning smart thermostat. We offer upfront, flat-rate quotes, 0 % short-term financing, and we handle all paperwork for Alabama Power Smart Thermostat rebates (currently up to $75 per device). If you pair the upgrade with an HVAC maintenance plan, we discount the thermostat labor by 10 %.
