FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a programmable thermostat for my heating and air-conditioning system in Jacksboro?
Jacksboro experiences hot, humid summers and cool winters, so indoor comfort needs change drastically throughout the year. A programmable thermostat lets you pre-set temperature schedules that automatically adjust when you’re asleep, at work, or on vacation. This reduces unnecessary run-time, cuts energy consumption by 10–20 %, and can lower your monthly utility bills without sacrificing comfort.
How much money can I actually save with a programmable thermostat in our climate?
Savings depend on usage habits, insulation quality, and equipment efficiency, but the U.S. DOE reports that homeowners can save roughly 1 % on heating or cooling costs for every degree the thermostat is set back over an 8-hour period. In Jacksboro, that often translates to $150–$250 per year because the AC runs heavily from May through September and heaters run on chilly winter nights.
Will a programmable thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most modern programmable and smart thermostats are designed to be compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, and heat-pump systems, which are common in Jacksboro homes. Before installation, our technicians check the control wiring (usually 24-volt) and confirm the presence of a C-wire—or install an add-a-wire kit if needed—so the new thermostat communicates correctly with your furnace, air handler, or heat pump.
What advanced features should I consider when choosing a new thermostat?
Popular upgrades include Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control via smartphone apps, learning algorithms that adapt schedules automatically, geofencing that adjusts temperatures when you leave or return home, humidity monitoring, filter-change reminders, and integration with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home. We help match features to your lifestyle and budget during an in-home consultation.
Do I need professional installation, and what does it involve?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Our certified technicians: 1) verify system compatibility; 2) safely disconnect power; 3) label and transfer wires; 4) program initial schedules; 5) test both heating and cooling modes; and 6) show you how to use the new interface or app. A standard install in Jacksboro typically takes 60–90 minutes and costs $140–$220, which can be recouped in energy savings within the first year.
What happens if the power or Wi-Fi goes out—will my HVAC system still work?
If your home loses electricity, the thermostat (like the HVAC system) shuts down until power is restored. Most models retain all schedules and settings in non-volatile memory, so nothing needs to be reprogrammed. If your internet or Wi-Fi drops, the thermostat will continue to run its stored schedules locally; you just won’t have remote access until connectivity returns.
