FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping my current manual model?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats improve comfort, provide precise temperature control, and can reduce energy bills by 10–20 %. They learn your schedule, adapt to Newcomb’s coastal climate swings, and let you monitor usage trends that a manual unit simply can’t offer.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with standard 24-volt HVAC equipment found in Newcomb homes. Before installation we verify the wiring, number of stages, and whether you have a heat pump or gas furnace. If a C-wire is missing, we can add one or install a compatible adapter.
How much does a thermostat upgrade typically cost in Newcomb?
Pricing ranges from $250–$550 supplied and installed, depending on the model’s features (Wi-Fi, voice control, geofencing) and any extra wiring work required. We provide a fixed quote upfront so there are no surprises.
Can a smart thermostat really save me money on my energy bills?
Yes. By automatically lowering temperatures when you’re asleep or away and optimising run-times during Newcomb’s mild shoulder seasons, homeowners commonly save 8–15 % on heating and cooling costs. Real-time reports help you adjust settings to maximise savings.
Will I be able to control the thermostat from my phone when I’m away?
Absolutely. All the models we install have secure apps for iOS and Android that let you view and adjust temperatures, change schedules, and receive maintenance alerts—whether you’re on the Bellarine Highway or travelling interstate.
What kind of maintenance or updates does a smart thermostat require?
Little to none. The device runs self-diagnostics and downloads firmware updates automatically over Wi-Fi. We recommend wiping the screen periodically and checking that the app has the latest version. During annual HVAC servicing, we inspect the thermostat to ensure sensors and wiring remain in good condition.
