FAQs
What advantages does a smart thermostat offer over my current manual or programmable thermostat?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule and temperature preferences, automatically adjusting heating and cooling to maximize comfort and energy savings. They provide app-based remote control, real-time energy-use data, maintenance alerts, and seamless integration with smart home platforms (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit). Studies show homeowners can save 10–20 % on heating and cooling costs compared with a traditional thermostat.
Is a smart thermostat compatible with my existing HVAC equipment in Englewood?
Most smart thermostats work with common furnace, air-conditioner, and heat-pump systems found in Englewood homes. The key is having the proper low-voltage (24-V) wiring and a C-wire (common wire) for continuous power. During our free in-home assessment, we’ll inspect your system, verify voltage, identify wire availability, and recommend models that match single- or multi-stage furnaces, dual-fuel systems, or zoned HVAC setups.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after upgrading?
Savings depend on your home’s insulation, HVAC efficiency, and how closely you follow smart-thermostat recommendations. On average, Englewood homeowners report $120–$180 in annual utility savings. Additional savings can come from Xcel Energy’s demand-response programs and time-of-use rate optimization, which a smart thermostat can automate.
Do local rebates or incentives help offset the cost of a smart thermostat?
Yes. Xcel Energy typically offers instant or mail-in rebates of $50–$125 for qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. The City of Englewood occasionally supplements this with seasonal rebates. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may also apply when combined with other HVAC upgrades. We’ll handle the paperwork and deduct any eligible rebates from your upfront cost.
What does professional installation involve and how long does it take?
Our NATE-certified technician will: 1) turn off HVAC power; 2) remove the existing thermostat; 3) test and label each control wire; 4) verify or add a C-wire if required; 5) mount and level the new thermostat base; 6) connect wiring per manufacturer specifications; 7) power up and configure Wi-Fi, geofencing, and energy-saving schedules; 8) train you on mobile-app controls. The entire visit usually takes 60–90 minutes with no disruption to heating or cooling.
Can I control my smart thermostat remotely and share access with family members?
Absolutely. Once linked to your home Wi-Fi, the thermostat’s companion app lets you adjust temperature, set schedules, and view energy reports from anywhere. You can create multiple user profiles so family members or renters can have access on their phones, while permission levels let you limit changes if desired. Voice control through smart speakers is also available for hands-free temperature adjustments.
