FAQs
What does a Detailed Energy Report cover for my heating and air-conditioning system?
Our report is a room-by-room analysis of your Sale Creek home. We measure airflow, duct leakage, equipment efficiency, insulation levels, thermostat performance, and real-time energy consumption. The report prioritizes fixes by cost, estimated savings, and comfort impact, so you know exactly where to begin—whether it’s sealing ducts, balancing airflow, or upgrading to a smarter thermostat.
How can upgrading my thermostat reduce energy costs?
Modern smart thermostats use occupancy sensors, local weather data, and learned behavior patterns to cut run-times when you don’t need heating or cooling. When paired with the insights from your energy report, they can trim 10–20 % off annual utility bills in Sale Creek’s mixed-climate zone by automating set-backs, optimizing staging on multi-stage equipment, and alerting you when filters or coils hinder performance.
Will a smart thermostat work with my older HVAC equipment?
In most cases, yes. We inventory your furnace or heat-pump control board, voltage, and number of stages during the assessment. If your system lacks the required C-wire or has proprietary communicating controls, we can install an add-a-wire adapter or recommend compatible models such as Emerson Sensi or Honeywell T6 that handle both conventional and heat-pump setups common in Tennessee homes.
What kind of savings can I realistically expect after following the report and installing a new thermostat?
Typical Sale Creek homeowners see $150–$300 per year in reduced power and gas charges. The precise figure depends on house size, insulation, and schedule. Your energy report includes a customized savings projection, payback timeline, and carbon-emission reduction so you can track performance month by month in the thermostat’s mobile app.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for thermostat upgrades and HVAC efficiency improvements in Sale Creek?
Yes. EPB and TVA offer rebates up to $50 for qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats and additional incentives for duct sealing and heat-pump upgrades identified in our report. The federal Inflation Reduction Act also provides a 30 % tax credit (up to $600) on thermostat-integrated HVAC controls. We supply all model numbers and paperwork so you can file quickly.
How long will the assessment and thermostat installation take, and will it disrupt my comfort?
The onsite energy audit takes 2–3 hours for a typical 2,000-sq-ft home. We perform blower-door and duct-leakage tests, inspect the attic, and capture thermal images without major disruption. Thermostat replacement adds about 45 minutes. Your system is powered down only briefly—usually less than 10 minutes—so you stay comfortable throughout the process.
