FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat instead of keeping my old manual model?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats give you precise control over temperature, humidity, and airflow, helping you stay comfortable during McDonald’s humid summers and chilly winters. They learn your schedule, adjust automatically when you’re away, and can be managed from a phone app. Most homeowners see energy-bill reductions of 8–15 %, so the device often pays for itself in one or two seasons.
What kinds of thermostats do you install for McDonald homes and small businesses?
We offer three main categories: (1) 7-day programmable thermostats for basic scheduling, (2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats that adapt to occupancy patterns and outdoor conditions, and (3) integrated home-automation thermostats that connect with voice assistants, zoned heating/cooling, and indoor-air-quality accessories. Our technicians help you choose a model compatible with your HVAC equipment, fuel type, and budget.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump?
In most cases, yes. Nearly all modern thermostats are designed to support standard 24-V HVAC systems, including single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-speed units. Before installation we inspect your control board, check wiring (including the C-wire for power), and confirm compatibility with accessories like humidifiers or dehumidifiers. If minor wiring upgrades are needed, we handle them on the spot.
How much energy can I realistically save in McDonald by installing a smart thermostat?
Savings depend on your current habits, insulation quality, and equipment efficiency, but the U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners can save about 10 % on heating and cooling with proper programming. In McDonald’s climate, that typically translates to $120–$200 per year for an average 2,000-sq-ft home. Smart thermostats push those savings higher by optimizing run times based on real-time weather and occupancy sensing.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard retrofit takes 45–90 minutes. We start by shutting off power to the HVAC system, labeling and removing existing wires, installing the new thermostat base, and verifying a solid C-wire connection for continuous power. After mounting the thermostat, we power up the equipment, run a full heating and cooling cycle, connect the unit to your Wi-Fi network if applicable, and walk you through programming and mobile-app setup.
Do smart thermostats still work if my internet goes down or the power goes out?
Yes. If your Wi-Fi drops, the thermostat continues running on its stored schedule and keeps the HVAC system operating normally; you just lose remote access until connectivity returns. During a power outage, the thermostat—and the HVAC system—will shut off, but all your settings are saved in memory or in the cloud. When power is restored, the thermostat resumes your programmed schedules automatically.
