FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat with your certified technicians in Greenback?
Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat can improve indoor comfort, allow remote temperature control via smartphone apps, and reduce energy waste by automatically adjusting settings when you’re away or asleep. Our Greenback-based certified technicians ensure the new thermostat is correctly sized for your HVAC system, properly wired, and configured to local climate patterns for maximum efficiency.
What types of thermostats do you install and which one is right for me?
We install basic digital, 7-day programmable, Wi-Fi–enabled, and advanced smart learning thermostats. The ideal choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and HVAC equipment. For example, a Wi-Fi thermostat suits homeowners who travel often and want remote access, while a smart learning model automatically builds schedules based on your habits for hands-off savings. During an on-site visit we evaluate your system, discuss your goals, and recommend the best option.
Is my existing heating and air conditioning system compatible with a smart thermostat upgrade?
Most modern gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central AC units support smart thermostats, but some older two-wire or high-voltage (120/240 V) systems need adapters or a different thermostat type. Our technicians perform a free compatibility check that looks at your control board, voltage, and available C-wire. If modifications are required, we can add a C-wire or install a compatible adapter during the same appointment.
How long does a professional thermostat installation take and will it disrupt my day?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 45–60 minutes, including removal of the old unit, wiring verification, mounting, system testing, and app setup. If we need to run a new C-wire or update low-voltage connections, the visit may extend to 90 minutes. We schedule convenient time slots, protect your walls and trim, and clean up before leaving so you experience minimal disruption.
What kind of energy savings can I expect after upgrading my thermostat?
ENERGY STAR® reports that programmable and smart thermostats can save up to 8 %–10 % on annual heating and cooling costs when properly used. In Greenback’s mixed climate, that translates to roughly $60–$120 per year for an average 1,800 sq ft home. Smart thermostats with occupancy sensors and geofencing can push savings even higher because they automatically reduce run time when no one is home.
How much does a thermostat upgrade cost and what warranty do you provide?
Installed pricing in Greenback generally ranges from $225 for a basic programmable model to $550 for a top-tier smart thermostat, including labor, setup, and a quick tutorial. We back our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, while most thermostat manufacturers offer 3- to 5-year parts warranties. Extended protection plans are available if you want added peace of mind.
