FAQs
What advantages does a smart thermostat provide over a standard programmable thermostat?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, detect when you are away, and make automatic temperature adjustments that maximize comfort and energy savings without constant re-programming. They offer real-time energy-use reports, maintenance alerts, weather-responsive adjustments, and smartphone or voice control—features a basic programmable unit simply can’t match.
Will a smart thermostat be compatible with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment in Sevierville?
Most modern smart thermostats are designed to work with gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and even zoned HVAC setups that are common around Sevierville. During our free in-home assessment, we check your system’s wiring (C-wire, stage inputs, humidifier, etc.) and verify voltage requirements to ensure you pick a model that integrates perfectly with your current equipment.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after upgrading?
National studies show typical savings of 8–15% on heating and cooling costs, but Sevierville homeowners often see even higher reductions because smart thermostats adjust for our wide winter-to-summer temperature swings. On an average $150/month HVAC bill, that can mean $150–$270 in annual savings, often paying for the thermostat in under two years.
Can I control the thermostat remotely and connect it to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?
Yes. All of the models we install offer secure Wi-Fi connectivity, free Android/iOS apps, and compatibility with major voice assistants. You can change settings, view energy reports, or set vacation modes from anywhere with an internet connection and use simple voice commands when you’re at home.
Are there any local rebates or incentives available for smart thermostat installations in Sevier County?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and Sevier County Electric System often provide rebates—typically $50–$100—when you install a qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostat through a licensed contractor. We handle the paperwork and submit proof of installation so you receive the rebate or on-bill credit without the hassle.
What is involved in professional installation and how long does it take?
A standard install takes about 60–90 minutes. Our technician will power down your HVAC, remove the old thermostat, verify and label each wire, mount and level the new smart unit, connect to your home Wi-Fi, update firmware, and walk you through the mobile app. We also test heating, cooling, and fan modes afterward to ensure everything operates flawlessly before we leave.
