FAQs
What advantages does a smart thermostat offer over a traditional thermostat?
Smart thermostats automatically learn your temperature preferences, create energy-saving schedules, and let you control heating and cooling from your smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant. These features typically reduce HVAC run-time, lower monthly utility bills by 10-20 %, and improve overall comfort without constant manual adjustments.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system in Dunlap?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with the common gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioners found in Dunlap homes. During our free in-home assessment, a technician checks wire configurations, voltage, and system staging to confirm compatibility or recommend any needed adapter modules.
How much energy can I expect to save after upgrading?
Actual savings vary by home size and usage habits, but local customers typically see 8-15 % lower heating costs and 10-20 % lower cooling costs within the first year. The thermostat’s occupancy sensors, weather-responsive algorithms, and usage reports help you fine-tune settings for even larger long-term savings.
What does the installation process involve and how long does it take?
A certified technician removes your old thermostat, labels and transfers the low-voltage wires, mounts the smart thermostat base, and completes a start-up checklist that includes Wi-Fi connection and app setup. Most installations take 45–60 minutes, and you’ll receive a quick tutorial on using schedules, geofencing, and energy reports before we leave.
Can I control the thermostat remotely when I’m away from home?
Yes. Once connected to your home Wi-Fi, the thermostat syncs with a free mobile app (iOS, Android, and web). You can change temperature settings, enable vacation mode, view energy history, and receive maintenance alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
Are there rebates or incentives available for Dunlap residents?
Ameren Illinois and many local electric co-ops offer rebates—typically $50–$100—when you install an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat. We handle the paperwork and deduct the incentive from your invoice whenever possible, making the upgrade more affordable.
