FAQs
What kinds of thermostat upgrades do you install for homeowners in Sevierville?
We carry and install basic digital programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats (Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell Home, and Carrier Infinity), and advanced zoning thermostats that control multiple areas of your house independently. Our comfort adviser will review your existing HVAC equipment, Internet connectivity, and comfort goals to recommend the best model and features for your budget.
How can a smart thermostat reduce my heating and cooling costs?
Smart thermostats use built-in occupancy sensors, outdoor weather data, and learning algorithms to trim run-times when no one is home or when milder outdoor temperatures allow it. ENERGY STAR® estimates that Sevierville residents save 8–12 % on annual HVAC energy use, which translates to roughly $100–$180 a year for an average 2,000-sq-ft home. Many models also send efficiency tips and monthly usage reports so you can fine-tune settings for even greater savings.
Will a new thermostat be compatible with my existing heat pump or dual-fuel system?
In most cases, yes. Before installation our technician will verify the number of control wires, staging requirements, and system voltage. We stock thermostats that handle single-stage, multi-stage, variable-speed, heat-pump with auxiliary heat, and dual-fuel setups common in East Tennessee. If special adapters or additional conductors are needed, we’ll let you know up front and include any wiring upgrades in the written estimate.
How long does thermostat installation take, and will it affect my HVAC warranty?
A straightforward replacement usually takes 45–60 minutes, including removal of the old unit, wiring verification, Wi-Fi setup, and a brief tutorial. If new control wire has to be fished through walls, allow 1½–2 hours. Because we are a licensed and insured HVAC contractor, manufacturer warranties on your furnace, air handler, or heat pump remain fully intact after our work.
Can I control my Sevierville home’s thermostat when I’m away?
Absolutely. Wi-Fi smart thermostats let you adjust temperature, set vacation schedules, or receive high/low temperature alerts from any smartphone, tablet, or web browser. They also integrate with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, making it easy to change settings with simple voice commands when you return from Dollywood or the Great Smoky Mountains.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost in Sevierville, and are rebates available?
Installed prices range from around $225 for a basic 7-day programmable unit to $450–$650 for a fully featured Wi-Fi smart thermostat with color touchscreen and humidity control. Sevier County Electric System customers may qualify for a $50 TVA EnergyRight® rebate on select ENERGY STAR smart thermostats, and many utility companies offer seasonal bill credits for enrolling in demand-response programs. We’ll handle the paperwork and deduct the rebate from your final invoice whenever possible.
