FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my current thermostat?
Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat can improve indoor comfort, reduce energy consumption by up to 10-15 %, and provide convenient features such as remote temperature control, learning schedules, and maintenance alerts. Our certified technicians ensure the new unit is properly matched to your HVAC system for maximum efficiency and warranty protection.
What types of thermostat upgrades do your Dayton technicians install?
We install a full range of thermostats—including basic digital, 5-2 and 7-day programmable, Wi-Fi–enabled, learning smart models (like Nest, ecobee, and Honeywell), and zoning-compatible thermostats. During an in-home consultation, our technician will explain the benefits of each option and recommend the best model for your comfort goals, budget, and HVAC equipment.
How long does a professional thermostat installation typically take?
Most standard replacements take 30–60 minutes. If additional wiring, C-wire adapters, system compatibility checks, or mobile app setup is required, the appointment may extend to about 90 minutes. We always test the new thermostat with your heating and cooling equipment, calibrate temperature settings, and walk you through operation before leaving.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing heating and air conditioning system?
In nearly all cases, yes. Our certified technicians verify voltage (low-voltage 24 V vs. line-voltage), staging (single-stage, multi-stage, or variable-speed), and accessory controls (humidifier, dehumidifier, heat pump) to ensure full compatibility. If your system needs an extra common wire or interface module, we can install it during the same visit.
How much can I save on my energy bills with a smart thermostat upgrade?
Savings vary by usage patterns and home insulation, but ENERGY STAR® estimates households save about 8 % on heating and cooling costs annually with a properly programmed smart thermostat. In Dayton, that typically translates to $50–$180 per year. Features like geofencing, self-learning schedules, and real-time energy reports help you fine-tune settings for even greater savings.
Are rebates or incentives available in the Dayton area for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Dayton Power & Light (AES Ohio) and some natural gas utilities periodically offer rebates (often $50–$75) for qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. Additionally, federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may cover 30 % of the cost, up to $600, when the thermostat is installed as part of an overall HVAC efficiency upgrade. Our office will help you identify current programs and file the necessary paperwork.
