FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a modern thermostat for my Kelso home?
A new programmable or smart thermostat helps your HVAC system run only when it is truly needed. In Kelso’s mixed climate—cool, wet winters and warm summers—automation and learning schedules can cut heating and cooling run-times by up to 20 %. That translates to lower utility bills, more consistent indoor temperatures, and less wear on your furnace or air-conditioning equipment.
What kinds of thermostats does Peak Efficiency Heating & Air Conditioning install?
We offer basic digital programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi–enabled models, and full smart thermostats that learn your habits. Popular options include ecobee, Nest, Honeywell T-series, and Emerson Sensi. We help you choose based on budget, desired features (voice control, geofencing, energy reports), and compatibility with your existing HVAC system.
Are there local rebates or incentives available for thermostat upgrades in Kelso?
Yes. Cowlitz PUD and Washington State’s Clean Energy Fund periodically offer instant rebates—typically $50–$100—for qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. We’ll handle the paperwork or point you to current rebate portals so you can claim every available incentive at the time of purchase.
How long does thermostat installation take and will my comfort be disrupted?
Most replacements take 45–90 minutes. We begin by cutting power, removing the old unit, labeling and testing wiring, installing the new thermostat, and walking you through setup. Your heating or cooling is only offline during that short window, and we schedule appointments at times that minimize inconvenience.
Will a smart thermostat work with my current furnace or heat pump?
In nearly every case, yes. Today’s smart thermostats are designed to work with conventional gas furnaces, electric air handlers, heat pumps, and even dual-fuel systems. During our free on-site assessment we verify the presence of a C-wire or install an adapter if needed, ensuring full compatibility before you commit.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after upgrading?
Actual savings depend on usage patterns, insulation levels, and equipment age, but regional studies show Kelso homeowners save 8–15 % on heating and 10–20 % on cooling costs after installing and properly programming a smart thermostat. Over a three-year period, the upgrade typically pays for itself, then continues to deliver annual savings.
