FAQs
What information does an Energy Report for heating and air conditioning include?
Our Energy Report examines the overall performance of your heating and cooling system, current energy consumption patterns, thermostat settings, ductwork integrity, insulation levels, and opportunities for efficiency improvements. You receive data-driven projections of potential energy savings, cost-benefit analyses for upgrades, and a prioritized list of recommended actions specifically tailored to Clairfield’s climate and utility rates.
Why should I consider a thermostat upgrade for my Clairfield home or business?
Older manual or mercury thermostats can swing 3–5 °F from the set point, causing comfort issues and energy waste. New programmable and smart thermostats offer tighter temperature control, adaptive scheduling, remote access via smartphone, and automatic setback features. In Clairfield, these upgrades typically reduce heating and cooling costs by 10-20 %, often paying for themselves within two seasons.
How do smart thermostats improve HVAC efficiency compared to basic programmable models?
Smart thermostats use onboard sensors, Wi-Fi connectivity, and machine-learning algorithms to learn your occupancy patterns and adjust temperatures in real time. They can integrate local weather data, provide energy-use reports, and send maintenance alerts when filter changes or service are due. Studies show smart models can add an additional 5-8 % in energy savings beyond conventional 7-day programmables.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Clairfield for thermostat upgrades or high-efficiency HVAC systems?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and several regional utilities serving Clairfield offer $50-$100 instant rebates on qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats. Additional incentives—up to $500—may be available for heat pump or high-efficiency furnace installations when paired with an approved thermostat. We handle all paperwork and will include a rebate guide with your Energy Report.
How long does a professional energy assessment take, and do I need to prepare?
A typical single-family home assessment takes 1.5–2 hours. Clear access to the thermostat, HVAC equipment, attic entry, and major vents/grilles helps speed the process. Have the past 12 months of utility bills available so our auditor can establish a baseline for comparison. No other preparation is required.
Can a new smart thermostat be integrated with my existing HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. The majority of modern furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps use low-voltage (24-V) controls compatible with popular smart thermostats. We verify wire count, check for a C-wire (common wire), and test system compatibility during the Energy Report visit. If a C-wire is missing, we can often install an adapter or run a new conductor during the thermostat upgrade.
