FAQs
How can a smart thermostat lower my energy bills in Apison’s changing climate?
Smart thermostats learn your daily routine and automatically fine-tune heating and cooling schedules, so your HVAC system runs only when needed. In Apison, where mornings can be cool and afternoons hot, the thermostat can pre-heat or pre-cool your home during off-peak utility hours and scale back while you’re at work. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates savings of 10–15 % on annual energy costs when a smart thermostat is installed and programmed correctly.
Will your smart thermostats work with my existing HVAC equipment?
Yes. Our models integrate with most conventional gas, electric, and heat-pump systems as well as multi-stage and variable-speed units common in Apison homes. During a free on-site assessment, our technician checks your HVAC control board, wiring (including the C-wire), and any zoning dampers to confirm compatibility or recommend a simple adapter if needed.
Do I need a constant Wi-Fi connection for the thermostat to function?
A Wi-Fi network unlocks remote control, real-time weather adjustments, and usage reports, but the thermostat will still regulate temperature based on its built-in schedule if the internet goes down. Once the connection is restored, all data syncs automatically with your mobile app and any smart-home platforms like Alexa or Google Home.
Can one smart thermostat manage multiple zones in my house?
Absolutely. If your HVAC system already has motorized dampers and separate zone control wiring, one of our multi-zone smart thermostats can oversee up to eight zones from a single interface. For homes without dampers, we can retrofit electronic dampers into existing ductwork, giving you independent temperature control in different floors or rooms—ideal for large Apison residences or bonus rooms over the garage.
What is included in your professional installation package and how much does it cost?
Our flat-rate installation—typically $189 for most Apison addresses—covers removal of the old thermostat, complete wiring check, mounting the new smart unit, connecting it to Wi-Fi, programming an initial energy-saving schedule, and a 20-minute customer tutorial. We also register the product warranty and perform a basic HVAC system health check at no extra charge.
How do smart thermostat warranties and maintenance work?
All thermostats we install carry a 3- to 5-year manufacturer’s warranty covering parts and firmware updates. We add a one-year labor warranty, so if a covered defect appears, we’ll replace or repair the unit at no cost. Regular maintenance is minimal—just keep the screen clean and change HVAC air filters on schedule so the thermostat’s airflow sensors remain accurate.
