FAQs
Why should I consider a thermostat upgrade for my Harriman home or business?
Older manual thermostats can be off by several degrees and require constant adjustment. Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you precision temperature control—down to a half-degree—so rooms stay consistently comfortable. These devices automatically optimize heating and cooling schedules, which typically lowers energy bills by 10–20 % and extends the life of your HVAC equipment because it runs fewer, shorter cycles.
What kinds of thermostats do you install and what makes them different?
We carry three main categories: (1) 7-day programmable thermostats for set-and-forget scheduling; (2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats such as Nest and ecobee that learn your habits, are controllable from any smartphone, and provide energy-use reports; and (3) zoning thermostats that work with motorized dampers to control temperatures in different sections of a building. All models feature precise digital sensors, filter-change reminders, and power-loss memory to protect your settings during outages common in the Harriman area.
How does precision temperature control improve energy efficiency?
Accuracy within a half-degree reduces the frequent overshooting and undershooting that wastes energy. Advanced algorithms track outdoor conditions, occupancy, and humidity to fine-tune run times. In Harriman’s four-season climate, that means shorter furnace cycles in winter and more efficient compressor staging in summer. Over a year, most customers see savings of 400–800 kWh of electricity and 50–150 therms of natural gas or propane.
Will a new thermostat work with my current heating and air-conditioning system?
Almost certainly. Today’s thermostats support single-stage, multi-stage, heat-pump, and dual-fuel systems as well as electric baseboard and radiant heat. Our technicians check your HVAC control board, wiring (C-wire availability), and voltage before recommending a model. If you need an additional wire, we can often repurpose an unused conductor or install a power extender kit instead of running new cable through walls.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard replacement takes about one hour. We shut off power to your equipment, remove the old thermostat, label and verify each wire, mount the new backplate, reconnect wiring, and complete a power-on test. For smart thermostats we also set up Wi-Fi, custom schedules, and mobile-app pairing, then walk you through basic operation. Zoning or multi-system installs can take 2–3 hours.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Harriman for thermostat upgrades?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) customers can qualify for up to a $50 bill credit on select ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. Some utility-sponsored demand-response programs provide an additional one-time incentive or ongoing bill credits when you allow minor temperature adjustments during peak-load events. We’ll fill out all paperwork and register the device so you get every available rebate.
