FAQs
How do smart thermostats help Cosby residents reduce energy bills?
Our smart thermostats use built-in sensors, local weather data, and machine-learning algorithms to learn your family’s schedule and automatically adjust heating or cooling when you are asleep or away. In Cosby’s mixed climate—cold winters and warm, humid summers—this precision control can cut HVAC run-time by up to 20 %, translating to average annual savings of $150–$200 on utility bills.
Are the thermostats compatible with the typical HVAC systems found in Cosby homes?
Yes. Most homes in Cosby use either heat pumps, gas furnaces with central air, or dual-fuel systems. Our models support single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-speed equipment, as well as auxiliary heat strips common in heat pumps. During your order we verify wiring (C-wire presence, etc.) to ensure perfect compatibility, and adapters are available if your system is older.
Do I need a constant Wi-Fi connection, and what happens if the internet goes down?
A 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi network lets you control the thermostat from your phone, receive weather-based adjustments, and get energy reports. If your internet or power goes out, the thermostat keeps its last programmed schedule and maintains temperature locally. Once Wi-Fi returns, it automatically resynchronizes with the cloud and mobile app—so there is no loss of comfort or data.
Can you install the smart thermostat for me in Cosby, and how long does it take?
Absolutely. Our certified technicians serve the entire Cosby area, including surrounding Sevier and Cocke counties. A standard replacement takes about 45–60 minutes: we shut off power, label and move wires, mount the new baseplate, connect to Wi-Fi, and walk you through the app. We also dispose of your old thermostat at no charge.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for Cosby homeowners?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and local electricity providers such as Newport Utilities often offer $50–$100 bill credits for installing ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. In addition, the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides a 30 % tax credit (up to $600) for qualifying thermostat purchases when paired with an efficient heat pump or HVAC upgrade. We supply all paperwork and can submit rebate forms on your behalf.
Which smartphones, smart speakers, and voice assistants work with your thermostats, and is my data secure?
Our units have free iOS and Android apps and integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. All commands are encrypted with AES-128 end-to-end security, and data is stored on SOC 2 compliant servers in the United States. You can opt-out of data sharing or delete your account at any time from the privacy dashboard.
