FAQs
How can upgrading my thermostat lower my monthly energy bills?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats optimize heating and cooling cycles by automatically adjusting temperatures when you are asleep, at work, or away. By preventing your HVAC system from running unnecessarily, these devices can reduce energy consumption by 10–23 %, which translates into noticeable savings on your monthly Reliance energy bill.
What types of thermostat upgrades does Reliance offer?
Reliance carries a full range of programmable and Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats. Options include 5-2 day and 7-day programmable models, touch-screen and voice-controlled smart thermostats, and learning thermostats that adapt to your schedule over time. All models are Energy Star® certified and compatible with most gas, electric, oil, and heat-pump HVAC systems.
Is my existing heating and air conditioning system compatible with a smart thermostat?
In most cases, yes. The majority of furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps installed over the past 20 years use standard low-voltage (24 V) controls that are fully compatible with today’s smart thermostats. During your free in-home assessment, a Reliance technician will confirm wiring requirements, identify whether a C-wire or adapter is needed, and recommend the best thermostat for your current system.
Do thermostat upgrades qualify for any rebates or incentives?
Many provinces and local utilities offer incentives of $50–$100 for Energy Star® smart thermostats. Reliance tracks available programs and will help you complete the paperwork or digital submission. If you are financing a new HVAC system through Reliance, the rebate can often be applied directly to your monthly bill to lower your upfront costs.
What is involved in the professional installation service?
A licensed Reliance technician will remove your old thermostat, verify system voltage, install any required C-wire adapter, mount and level the new thermostat, connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and walk you through programming, mobile app set-up, and energy-saving tips. Most installations take under one hour, and all work is backed by a 1-year labour warranty.
Can I monitor and control my energy usage after upgrading?
Yes. Smart thermostats offered by Reliance provide real-time usage reports, monthly energy summaries, and customized energy-saving recommendations through a mobile or web dashboard. You can track how temperature adjustments, occupancy patterns, and weather impact your heating and cooling costs, empowering you to fine-tune settings and further reduce your monthly energy bill.
