FAQs
What benefits will I see by upgrading to an intuitive touchscreen thermostat in my Old Fort home?
Touchscreen thermostats provide precise temperature control, easy-to-read displays, scheduling options, and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. In Old Fort’s variable climate—humid summers and cool winters—this means you can program automatic temperature adjustments, reduce energy waste by up to 10–15 %, and monitor usage trends right from your phone, tablet, or the wall unit.
Are the new touchscreen thermostats compatible with my existing heating and cooling equipment?
Most modern smart thermostats work with the majority of 24-volt HVAC systems found in Old Fort, including gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and central air conditioners. During our free in-home assessment, we check wiring (C-wire availability), equipment stages, and system voltage to ensure seamless integration. If an adapter or additional transformer is required, we’ll supply and install it during the upgrade.
How long does installation take, and will my HVAC system be offline?
A standard thermostat replacement typically takes 45–90 minutes. We first power down your HVAC unit, remove the old thermostat, label and reconnect wiring, mount the touchscreen, and configure the software. Your heating or cooling is usually offline for less than an hour, and we test the system before leaving to confirm everything is fully operational.
Can I control my touchscreen thermostat remotely or connect it to smart-home devices?
Yes. Most of the models we install (e.g., Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell Home) offer Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to control temperature, humidity, and fan settings with mobile apps or a browser. They integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and IFTTT so you can set voice commands, geofencing, or custom automations tailored to your lifestyle.
What incentives or rebates are available for thermostat upgrades in Old Fort and surrounding North Carolina areas?
Depending on the season, Duke Energy Progress and local cooperatives often offer bill credits or rebates—typically $50–$75—for ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. There may also be state or federal tax credits if the upgrade is part of a broader energy-efficiency project. We handle the paperwork and supply all model numbers and invoices required for your rebate submission.
Do you provide a warranty and user training after installation?
Absolutely. All touchscreen thermostats come with a manufacturer’s warranty—usually 3–5 years for parts. Our company adds a 1-year labor warranty covering installation workmanship. After setup, our technician walks you through creating schedules, adjusting settings, and connecting to your home Wi-Fi. We also leave printed and digital guides and offer free phone support for the first 12 months.
