FAQs
How does upgrading my thermostat help reduce energy costs?
Modern smart and programmable thermostats can learn your schedule, automatically adjust temperature setbacks, and use built-in sensors and weather data to avoid heating or cooling when it’s not needed. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners save about 10%–15% a year on heating and cooling by simply lowering the thermostat 7°–10°F for eight hours a day; smart thermostats automate this process, often pushing savings even higher.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system?
Most newer thermostats are designed to be "universal" and support common HVAC configurations, including single-stage, multi-stage, heat pump, electric, gas, and oil systems. During installation we verify your current wiring (C-wire availability, number of stages, etc.) and update any connections or add a C-wire adapter if necessary to ensure seamless compatibility.
What features should I look for in an energy-saving thermostat?
Key features include learning or self-programming capabilities, remote access via Wi-Fi, occupancy or geofencing sensors, detailed energy-use reports, and compatibility with voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Home. Look for ENERGY STAR® certification to ensure the device meets strict efficiency and performance guidelines.
Can I install a smart thermostat myself or do I need a professional?
While many manufacturers advertise DIY installation, correct wiring, HVAC compatibility checks, and optimal setup are crucial for both comfort and efficiency. Our Jasper technicians can install and program the thermostat, test system performance, and show you how to use mobile apps and advanced features—ensuring you get the full energy-savings benefit without voiding equipment warranties.
How quickly will I see a return on my thermostat upgrade investment?
Most homeowners in the Jasper area recoup the cost of a smart thermostat within one to two heating/cooling seasons through lower utility bills. Savings depend on household schedules, local energy rates, system efficiency, and how consistently energy-saving settings are used.
Do smart thermostats qualify for rebates or tax incentives?
Yes. Many utility providers in Indiana offer rebates—typically $50–$100—for installing an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat. Additionally, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) may allow you to claim 30% of the cost (up to $600) for qualifying thermostats. We’ll help you identify current incentives and supply documentation for your rebate or tax filing.
