FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat instead of keeping my old one?
Older manual or mercury-dial thermostats can be off by several degrees, causing uneven temperatures and wasted energy. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat gives you precise digital control, automatic scheduling, and remote access from your phone. For Jellico homeowners who experience hot, humid summers and chilly winters, this precision keeps rooms more comfortable while preventing your heating and cooling system from running longer than necessary. The result is lower utility bills, less wear on your equipment, and a smaller environmental footprint.
What types of modern thermostats are available for Jellico homeowners?
Precision Comfort Heating & Air offers three main categories: (1) Programmable thermostats—set daily or weekly schedules; (2) Wi-Fi connected smart thermostats—learn your habits, use local weather data, and allow control through an app or voice assistants; and (3) Zoned or multi-stage thermostats—coordinate with dampers and variable-speed HVAC units to heat or cool specific areas independently. We help you choose a model that matches your comfort goals, budget, and the capability of your existing HVAC system.
How much can a smart thermostat really save on my utility bills in Jellico’s climate?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates households save 10–12 % on heating and up to 15 % on cooling with properly programmed smart thermostats. In Jellico, where seasonal temperature swings are significant, customers commonly report annual savings of $120–$180. Savings come from automatic setbacks when you are asleep or away, geofencing that turns equipment off when no one is home, and real-time efficiency adjustments based on outdoor temperature and humidity.
Will a new thermostat work with my existing HVAC system from Precision Comfort Heating & Air?
In most cases, yes. During our complimentary assessment we examine your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner, check low-voltage control wiring, and verify whether you have a common (C) wire for continuous power. If a C-wire is missing we can often add an adapter or run a new wire. We also confirm staging—single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed—and configure the thermostat accordingly. Our NATE-certified technicians handle all compatibility checks, wiring, and programming so you don’t have to worry about mis-wiring or voiding equipment warranties.
What is involved in a professional thermostat installation and how long does it take?
A typical upgrade visit lasts about 60–90 minutes. We remove the old thermostat, label and test each wire, mount the new backplate level on the wall, connect and secure wiring, and power up the new unit. Then we program initial settings: date/time, preferred temperature schedule, humidity control (if available), and Wi-Fi connection. Finally, we demonstrate all features—mobile app, voice control, filter change reminders—and leave printed quick-start guides. Cleanup is included and we dispose of the old mercury thermostat per EPA guidelines.
Are there any rebates or incentives for thermostat upgrades in Jellico or Tennessee?
Yes. Many electric cooperatives in Campbell County participate in TVA’s EnergyRight program, which currently offers up to a $50 bill credit for installing qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats. Tennessee homeowners may also claim federal tax credits of 30 % of the cost (up to $150) under the 25C Residential Energy Efficiency Property Credit when the thermostat is paired with a high-efficiency heat pump or furnace. Precision Comfort Heating & Air handles the paperwork and provides the manufacturer’s AHRI certificate, purchase invoice, and installation receipt needed to secure these incentives.
