FAQs

Why should I upgrade my thermostat?

Older manual or mercury thermostats can be off by several degrees and lack scheduling or remote-access features. Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you precise temperature control, automatic setback scheduling, energy-use reports, and smartphone integration. In Maryville’s hot, humid summers and cool winters, these features can cut heating and cooling costs by 10–20 % while keeping your home more comfortable.

What types of thermostats do your licensed technicians install in Maryville?

Our team installs conventional 24-volt programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi touch-screen models, and full smart home thermostats from trusted brands such as Honeywell Home, ecobee, Nest, and Emerson Sensi. We also offer high-voltage line-voltage units for baseboard systems and communicating thermostats designed for advanced variable-speed HVAC equipment. All products we carry are UL-listed and compatible with local electrical codes.

Will a smart thermostat really save me money on energy bills in Maryville’s climate?

Yes. Independent studies by the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® program show average savings of $130–$180 per year with properly programmed smart thermostats. Features such as geofencing, learning schedules, humidity optimization, and utility rate-aware programming are especially useful in Maryville, where summer cooling loads and winter heating demand can both be significant. Over a typical 10-year lifespan, the device often pays for itself several times over.

How long does professional thermostat installation take and will my HVAC system be down?

Most standard replacements take about 45–60 minutes, including removal of the old unit, confirming HVAC compatibility, wiring and mounting the new thermostat, Wi-Fi setup, and user training. Your heating or cooling will be off only during the wiring phase—usually less than 20 minutes. For more complex jobs such as multi-zone or heat-pump balance point optimization, plan on 1½–2 hours.

Can you integrate a new thermostat with my existing HVAC equipment or zoning system?

Absolutely. Our licensed technicians first review the control board, transformer load, C-wire availability, and any zone dampers or auxiliary heat stages. We then match you with a thermostat that supports 1-stage, 2-stage, or variable-speed compressors, electric or dual-fuel heat pumps, and zone panel protocols. If your system lacks a common (C) wire, we can often add one or install a power extender so you can still enjoy the full feature set.

Are there rebates or incentives available in Maryville for upgrading to a Wi-Fi or smart thermostat?

Yes. Local utility companies such as Ameren Missouri and municipal providers frequently offer $50–$100 bill credits or instant rebates when you install an ENERGY STAR® certified thermostat through a licensed contractor. Our office stays current on the latest incentives and will handle the paperwork so you receive the rebate automatically or at the point of sale. We’ll also register your new thermostat for extended manufacturer warranties where applicable.
