FAQs
What is included in your Detailed Energy-Use Report for heating and air-conditioning systems?
Our report breaks down your home’s 12-month HVAC energy consumption hour-by-hour, compares it to similar homes in Seymour, pinpoints peak-use periods, and identifies efficiency losses from duct leaks, poor insulation, or outdated equipment. It also projects the savings you could achieve with specific thermostat settings, zoning, or equipment upgrades, and includes a step-by-step action plan.
How does upgrading to a smart thermostat reduce my energy bills in Seymour’s climate?
Modern smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust temperatures automatically, and use local weather data to trim unnecessary run-time. In Seymour’s mixed-humid climate, that typically translates to 8–15 % lower heating bills and 10–20 % lower cooling costs—about $120–$180 per year for the average 2,000-sq-ft home.
Will the new thermostat work with my existing furnace or air-conditioner?
Most Wi-Fi and learning thermostats are compatible with 24-volt gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central A/C systems installed in the last 25 years. During our free pre-installation check, we verify your system’s control board, C-wire availability, and staging requirements. If an adapter or additional wiring is needed, we’ll include it in the quote so there are no surprises.
What happens during the installation visit?
A certified technician will: 1) remove the old thermostat, 2) test and label control wires, 3) install a C-wire or power adapter if necessary, 4) mount and level the new thermostat, 5) connect it to your Wi-Fi network, 6) program initial schedules based on your preferences, and 7) walk you through the mobile app and voice-assistant features. The entire process usually takes under 90 minutes.
Do you offer utility rebates or city incentives for thermostat upgrades in Seymour?
Yes. Duke Energy and Seymour Municipal Utilities currently provide up to a $75 instant rebate on qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats, and the Jackson County Energy Program adds an extra $25 spring/fall bonus while funds last. We handle all paperwork and apply the rebate at checkout so you receive the savings immediately.
How often should I request an updated energy-use report after my thermostat upgrade?
We recommend a new report once a year—ideally after each full heating and cooling season—to verify that the programmed schedules and any home-improvement changes are still maximizing savings. Annual reports are free for the first two years after installation and discounted thereafter for existing customers.
