FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping my current model?
Modern thermostats—especially smart and Wi-Fi–enabled units—offer tighter temperature control, energy-saving algorithms, and remote access from your phone or voice assistant. In most Newcomb homes we service, customers see up to 10-15 % savings on annual heating and cooling bills after an upgrade, plus the convenience of automated scheduling and energy-use reports.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most current furnaces, heat pumps, and central AC systems in Newcomb are compatible with today’s smart thermostats. Our certified technicians perform a free wiring and control-board inspection before installation to confirm compatibility, check for a C-wire (common wire), and ensure any multi-stage or variable-speed equipment will communicate correctly.
How long does a professional thermostat upgrade take?
A standard swap from an older programmable or manual thermostat to a new model typically takes 45–60 minutes. This includes power shut-off, old unit removal, wiring verification, mounting the new base plate, level and wire connections, powering up, software setup, and a tutorial for the homeowner. Complex systems with zoning or additional sensors may add 30–45 minutes.
Can I install a thermostat myself, or should I hire a certified technician?
While many smart thermostats market themselves as DIY friendly, professional installation protects your equipment warranty, ensures safe handling of 24-volt control circuits, avoids short-circuits that can damage a furnace board, and guarantees accurate configuration for heat-pump balance points or dual-fuel staging. Our Newcomb technicians are licensed, bonded, and factory trained on the brands we sell, and we warranty our labor for 1 year.
What is the average cost of a thermostat upgrade in Newcomb?
Prices vary by model and features. A basic digital programmable thermostat starts around $185 installed, mid-tier Wi-Fi models average $325–$425, and premium learning thermostats with sensors or geofencing typically range from $475–$625 installed. We provide up-front flat pricing that includes the thermostat, professional installation, programming assistance, and haul-away of your old unit.
