FAQs
What benefits can I expect from upgrading to a smart thermostat?
Smart thermostats learn your comfort preferences, automatically create efficient schedules, and adjust temperatures based on real-time data such as outdoor weather or occupancy sensors. This leads to lower energy bills, more consistent indoor comfort, remote control through a smartphone app, and valuable usage reports that help you fine-tune settings for additional savings.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most modern smart thermostats are compatible with conventional forced-air furnaces, heat pumps, electric baseboard heaters, and multi-stage systems. During an in-home assessment, a Reliance™ technician checks wiring, voltage requirements, and any needed C-wire to ensure a seamless integration with your current heating and cooling equipment.
How much energy can a smart thermostat save me?
Energy savings depend on factors like home size, insulation, climate, and user settings, but studies from ENERGY STAR® and manufacturers show average annual savings of 8–15% on heating and 10–12% on cooling costs. By leveraging features such as geofencing, adaptive scheduling, and automatic setback, many Reliance customers see payback within 1–2 years.
Can I control the smart thermostat while I'm away from home?
Yes. Through the thermostat’s mobile app or a secure web portal, you can change temperature settings, switch operating modes, view energy reports, or receive maintenance alerts from anywhere with an internet connection. Voice-assistant integrations (e.g., Alexa, Google Assistant) also allow hands-free adjustments.
Do I need professional installation for a smart thermostat upgrade?
While some homeowners handle DIY installation, professional setup ensures proper wiring, optimal placement, correct configuration of HVAC equipment types, and verification of Wi-Fi connectivity. Reliance technicians also provide a tutorial on using the app, programming schedules, and linking to smart-home ecosystems, giving you confidence your system is running safely and efficiently from day one.
What happens if my Wi-Fi goes down—will the thermostat still work?
The thermostat retains its local schedule and temperature settings even without an internet connection, so your HVAC system continues to heat or cool as programmed. Once Wi-Fi is restored, cloud features like remote access, weather-responsive adjustments, and firmware updates automatically resume.
