FAQs
Why should I consider a thermostat upgrade from Total Climate Control Heating & Air Conditioning in Cowan?
Today’s smart and advanced programmable thermostats give you precise temperature control, remote access, and learning algorithms that can trim 10–20 % off annual energy costs. In Cowan’s hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters, that means steadier indoor comfort, lower utility bills, and less wear on your HVAC equipment. Many models also track humidity, remind you to change filters, and send fault alerts—features not available on older manual units.
Will a modern smart thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. The majority of smart thermostats are designed for standard 24-volt gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel and multi-stage systems. During your free on-site assessment, our technician checks the control board, wiring, and available “C-wire” to verify compatibility. If your system is older or lacks the C-wire, we can often install an adapter or recommend a compatible programmable (non-Wi-Fi) model.
What does a typical thermostat upgrade cost in the Cowan area?
Thermostat prices generally range from $199 to $499, depending on features such as touchscreens, remote sensors, or voice control. Professional installation by Total Climate Control usually adds $120–$200, which includes wiring verification, device setup, Wi-Fi pairing, and a walkthrough of the mobile app. We also help you apply for any local utility or manufacturer rebates that could offset part of the cost.
How long will the installation take, and will my comfort be interrupted?
Most upgrades are completed in 45–90 minutes. We power down your HVAC system, remove the existing thermostat, confirm wiring, mount the new unit, and run a complete system test. Your heating or cooling is off only briefly while wiring is connected, so comfort disruption is minimal. Before we leave, we program your preferred schedule and make sure the mobile app (if applicable) is working.
Can a new thermostat really lower my energy bills in Cowan’s climate?
Absolutely. Third-party studies show smart and properly programmed thermostats can save up to 23 % on heating and 15 % on cooling costs. By automatically adjusting set points when you’re away or sleeping, optimizing compressor cycles, and using geofencing to anticipate your return, the thermostat prevents needless runtime. Cowan residents may also qualify for TVA EnergyRight or local utility incentives that compound savings.
Do I need Wi-Fi or special wiring for advanced features?
A steady 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network is required for remote access, voice commands, and over-the-air updates. If your home doesn’t have Wi-Fi, the thermostat will still operate as a basic on-wall controller, but smart functions will be limited. As for wiring, most units need a common (C) wire; if yours is missing, we can often add a C-wire kit or run a new conductor without major drywall work. We’ll discuss all options during your estimate.
