FAQs
What is included in the Detailed Energy Report for my heating & air conditioning system?
Our report analyzes your HVAC equipment’s age, efficiency ratings (SEER, AFUE, HSPF), run-time history, thermostat set-points, duct performance, and insulation levels. It converts that data into projected yearly energy use, dollar expenditures at current Greenback utility rates, and carbon impact. You’ll also get side-by-side comparisons of different thermostat options and recommended efficiency upgrades ranked by payback period.
How will upgrading my thermostat improve energy efficiency?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats learn your occupancy patterns, automatically adjust set-points, and can be controlled from your phone. Typical Greenback households see 8–15 % heating and cooling savings because the system doesn’t run when you’re away or asleep. Our energy report models those savings for your specific square footage and climate data so you can see exactly how much you’ll save before you buy.
Are smart thermostats compatible with my existing HVAC equipment in Greenback homes?
In most cases, yes. Today’s smart thermostats work with single-stage, multi-stage, heat-pump, and gas systems. During our site visit we inspect your air handler, outdoor unit, and thermostat wiring (C-wire availability) to verify compatibility. If an adapter or additional wire is needed, we include that in the installation estimate so there are no surprises.
Will a thermostat upgrade qualify me for rebates or incentives in Greenback or the TVA service area?
Many ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats are eligible for a $50–$75 rebate through the Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program and some local co-ops. We handle the paperwork: proof of purchase, model verification, and submission. Your Detailed Energy Report will list every incentive you qualify for and the net cost after rebates.
How long does it take to install a new smart thermostat and receive the energy report?
The on-site visit—inspection, old thermostat removal, new thermostat installation, and system testing—typically takes 60–90 minutes. We then collect 24–48 hours of run-time data and finalize your Detailed Energy Report within three business days. You receive the report digitally and we schedule a 15-minute call to review findings and answer questions.
Do I need Wi-Fi for my new thermostat and will my data remain private?
A Wi-Fi connection unlocks remote control, firmware updates, and advanced energy analytics, so we recommend it. If you prefer not to connect, the thermostat will still function locally with limited reporting features. All data transmitted to our servers is encrypted, used solely for generating your energy report, and never shared or sold to third parties.
