FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping my old one?
Modern smart and programmable thermostats offer precise temperature control, remote access through smartphone apps, energy-saving features such as learning your schedule, and automatic system diagnostics. In Erwin’s variable climate, these capabilities can reduce annual heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %, improve comfort, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment by eliminating unnecessary run-time.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with conventional gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems common in Erwin homes. During a free in-home assessment, our technician will verify wiring, voltage, and control board compatibility, and we can install an inexpensive C-wire adapter if your current setup lacks a dedicated power wire.
How much does a thermostat upgrade typically cost in Erwin?
Installed prices range from $200–$450 for a basic programmable model and $350–$650 for a fully featured Wi-Fi or learning thermostat. This includes the device, professional installation, wiring adjustments, and setup assistance. Utility rebates from TVA’s EnergyRight program may offset up to $50 of the cost.
What energy savings can I expect after installing a programmable or smart thermostat?
ENERGY STAR studies show that homeowners who properly use programmable features save an average of $180 per year. Smart thermostats increase savings by automatically adjusting setpoints when no one is home, providing usage reports, and integrating with local weather data—helpful during Erwin’s hot summers and chilly winters.
Can I control the new thermostat remotely or with voice commands?
Yes. Most smart thermostats connect to your home’s Wi-Fi and pair with iOS, Android, and web apps so you can change temperatures, set schedules, or receive maintenance alerts from anywhere. They also integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing hands-free voice control.
What is included in your professional thermostat upgrade service?
Our Erwin-based team handles removal of the old thermostat, compatibility checks, wiring or C-wire installation, mounting and level adjustments, software setup, and a tutorial on using the new features. We calibrate temperature sensors, test heating and cooling cycles, and register the product to ensure you receive the full manufacturer warranty.
