FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my thermostat in Speedwell?
An upgraded thermostat—especially a modern programmable or smart model—gives you tighter temperature control, automatic scheduling, and remote access from a phone or tablet. In Speedwell’s variable climate, that means better comfort, fewer manual adjustments, and energy savings that can reduce heating-and-cooling costs by 10–20 %. It also helps your HVAC equipment run more efficiently and last longer by avoiding unnecessary on/off cycles.
What types of thermostats do your certified technicians install?
Our Speedwell team installs three main categories: 1) basic digital programmable thermostats; 2) Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats that learn your habits and integrate with Alexa, Google, or Apple HomeKit; and 3) advanced zoning thermostats that control multiple areas of the home independently. We carry leading brands such as Honeywell, ecobee, Nest, and Emerson, and we match the model to your HVAC system and lifestyle needs.
Will a new smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
In most Speedwell homes, yes. Our technicians perform a compatibility check that looks at voltage (24 V vs. line-voltage), number of control wires, heat-pump or conventional furnace configuration, and whether a C-wire is present. If your system lacks a required wire, we can usually add a C-wire adapter or run a new cable during installation, ensuring seamless communication between the thermostat and your current HVAC equipment.
How long does a professional thermostat upgrade take?
A standard swap takes about 45–60 minutes, including removing the old thermostat, mounting and wiring the new unit, connectivity setup, and user training. If extra wiring or a C-wire adapter is needed, allow up to 90 minutes. Because our technicians arrive with fully stocked service vehicles, most installations in Speedwell are completed in a single visit with minimal disruption to your day.
Are your heating and air-conditioning technicians certified and insured?
Absolutely. Every technician on our Speedwell team holds NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification or equivalent factory training for the thermostat brands we install. We are fully licensed in the state of Tennessee, carry $2 million in liability insurance, and maintain up-to-date workers’ compensation coverage, so you can have complete peace of mind throughout the installation process.
Can a thermostat upgrade really save me money on my energy bills?
Yes. ENERGY STAR estimates that programmable and smart thermostats can save the average U.S. household about $180 per year, and Speedwell residents often see similar or even higher savings due to our wide temperature swings. Features like learning algorithms, geofencing, and adaptive recovery optimize runtimes so your HVAC system uses energy only when you need it. Over the thermostat’s lifetime, those savings typically pay for the unit and installation several times over.
