FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat with your licensed technicians in Hixson?
A modern thermostat gives you precise temperature control, reduces energy waste, and improves overall comfort. Smart and programmable models learn your schedule, allow remote adjustments from a phone, and provide usage reports that help trim monthly utility costs—often by 10-20% in the Hixson climate. Upgrading also enhances system reliability, as a new thermostat communicates more accurately with today’s high-efficiency HVAC equipment.
What types of thermostats can your team install or replace?
Our certified technicians install the full range of thermostat options: (1) basic digital non-programmable units for simple temperature control, (2) 5-2 or 7-day programmable models, (3) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats such as Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell Home, and Emerson Sensi, (4) learning or AI-driven thermostats that adapt to your habits automatically, and (5) communicating thermostats designed for variable-speed or multi-stage HVAC systems. We help you compare features, select the best fit, and handle all setup and integration.
Will a new thermostat be compatible with my existing heating and air conditioning system?
Before installation, we perform a compatibility assessment that checks voltage (24 V vs. line-voltage), system type (gas furnace, electric heat pump, dual fuel), and number of heating/cooling stages. Most modern thermostats are compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, and heat-pump systems, but older equipment may require an adapter or common wire (C-wire) kit. Our technicians confirm wiring, update firmware if needed, and guarantee the thermostat communicates properly with your current HVAC equipment.
How long does professional thermostat installation take and what does the process include?
A standard replacement usually takes 30–60 minutes. We turn off power at the breaker, label and disconnect existing wires, mount the new base plate, connect wires per manufacturer specifications, restore power, and perform a full functional test (heating, cooling, fan, emergency heat if applicable). For Wi-Fi models, we also connect the thermostat to your home network, assist with app setup, and walk you through scheduling features and energy-saving tips.
Can upgrading my thermostat really lower energy bills in Hixson’s climate?
Yes. Hixson experiences humid summers and cool winters, and programmable or smart thermostats optimize runtimes according to occupancy and outdoor conditions. Features like geofencing, adaptive recovery, and humidity control keep temperatures comfortable while minimizing run time. ENERGY STAR® reports average savings of about $50–$180 per year, and many local customers see payback within 1–2 cooling seasons.
What does a thermostat upgrade cost and are rebates or financing available?
Installed pricing ranges from roughly $175 for a basic digital replacement to $400–$650 for premium smart or communicating models, including labor. Chattanooga-area utilities and TVA programs sometimes offer $25–$100 rebates for ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. We’ll help you submit paperwork and can bundle thermostat financing with larger HVAC projects, often at 0% promotional rates for qualified homeowners.
