FAQs
How can upgrading my thermostat lower my utility bills?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats precisely regulate temperature, reducing the amount of time your HVAC system runs when you’re away or asleep. Features like scheduling, occupancy sensors, learning algorithms, and remote access prevent unnecessary heating and cooling, often cutting energy use by 8–20 % compared to a manual thermostat. Over the course of a Clinton heating and cooling season, that can translate into noticeable savings on both electricity and natural-gas bills.
What types of thermostats do you offer to homeowners in Clinton?
We supply and install three main categories: (1) 7-day or 5-2 programmable thermostats, ideal if you have a predictable routine; (2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell Home) with learning capabilities, voice-assistant integration, and app control; and (3) multi-zone or communicating thermostats designed for advanced variable-speed or zoned HVAC systems. Our technicians help you compare features, pick the right model for your equipment, and ensure it complies with local building codes.
Is my existing HVAC system compatible with a smart thermostat?
Most gas furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps installed in Clinton over the last 15–20 years are compatible. During our free site evaluation, we check the control board, the number of low-voltage wires, whether a C-wire is present, and any special equipment (dual-fuel, humidifier, variable-speed blower). If a C-wire is missing, we can usually add one or install a power-extender kit so you can still enjoy the benefits of a smart thermostat.
How much can Clinton residents expect to save on heating and cooling costs after a thermostat upgrade?
Savings depend on usage habits, insulation levels, and energy prices, but the U.S. Department of Energy estimates about 10 % annually for every 7–10 °F you set back your thermostat for eight hours a day. In real numbers, many of our customers report $120–$250 in yearly savings. Because quality smart thermostats cost $150–$300 installed, most households recoup their investment in 1–2 heating/cooling seasons.
Do you handle the installation and setup, and how long does it take?
Yes. Our Nate-certified technicians remove your old thermostat, verify wiring, mount the new unit, connect it to Wi-Fi, and program an energy-saving schedule tailored to your lifestyle. Typical installation requires 45–90 minutes. We also provide a quick tutorial on using the mobile app, adjusting set-points, and viewing monthly energy-use reports.
Are there rebates or incentives in Clinton for thermostat upgrades?
Evergy and Spire frequently offer $50–$100 instant rebates on ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats, and we process the paperwork for you. In addition, Missouri residents can claim up to a $2,000 federal tax credit (30 % of project cost) when a qualifying thermostat is installed as part of a heat-pump or high-efficiency HVAC upgrade under the Inflation Reduction Act. We’ll explain current programs and ensure you maximize every available incentive.
