FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a modern thermostat instead of keeping my old one?
Today’s programmable and smart thermostats deliver far tighter temperature control than older manual models, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently and maintain steadier comfort. Features such as self-learning schedules, remote control via phone, energy-use reporting, and geofencing can cut annual heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %. In Dunlap’s variable climate, that can translate into significant energy savings and fewer service calls caused by short-cycling or over-run equipment.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing furnace and air conditioner?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians begin each thermostat upgrade with a quick compatibility check of your current HVAC equipment, control board, and wiring. Most 24-volt systems (the standard for gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central A/C units) support today’s smart or Wi-Fi thermostats. If you currently have only a two-wire setup, we can often add a common (C) wire or install a power-extender kit so the new thermostat receives continuous power without replacing your entire control cable.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost in the Dunlap area?
Pricing depends on the model and feature set you choose. Basic 7-day programmable thermostats start around $225 installed, mid-range Wi-Fi models run $350–$450, and premium smart thermostats with voice control, room-by-room sensors, or ENERGY STAR® certification typically fall between $500 and $650 installed. Our upfront quote includes the thermostat, professional installation, system calibration, homeowner orientation, and a one-year labor warranty.
Can I install a smart thermostat myself?
Some homeowners are comfortable with DIY installation, but keep in mind that incorrect wiring, mis-configured heat pump settings, or firmware errors can damage delicate control boards—and most manufacturers void the warranty if the thermostat is not installed by a licensed HVAC professional. Our factory-trained technicians ensure correct connections, update firmware, test all heating and cooling stages, and integrate the thermostat with companion apps so you gain full functionality from day one.
What kind of energy savings can I expect after upgrading?
ENERGY STAR® studies show that properly programmed smart thermostats can save the average homeowner up to $180 per year on utility bills. In Dunlap, where summers are humid and winters can be brisk, homeowners commonly see 10-15 % savings on cooling and 8-12 % on heating after we optimize schedules, set eco-temps, and enable adaptive recovery. Additionally, usage reports make it easy to spot costly runtime spikes and adjust your settings for even more savings.
How quickly can Precision Control Heating & Air Conditioning schedule and install my thermostat upgrade?
We keep the most popular thermostat models in local stock, so in many cases we can offer same-day or next-day installation in Dunlap and surrounding communities. The on-site process usually takes about one hour: removing the old thermostat, verifying voltage, mounting the new backplate, connecting wires, updating firmware, and walking you through app setup and usage tips. Call our office or book online, and we’ll confirm an exact arrival window and upfront price before any work begins.
