FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping my older manual model?
Modern programmable and smart thermostats offer precise temperature control, remote access by smartphone, automatic scheduling, energy-use reports, and learning algorithms that adapt to your lifestyle. According to Energy Star, homeowners can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling costs by properly using a programmable thermostat. In Ten Mile’s variable climate, those savings quickly offset the cost of the upgrade while improving comfort.
What types of thermostat upgrades do Expert Techs Heating & Air Conditioning install in Ten Mile?
We carry and install basic 7-day programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi–enabled smart thermostats (such as Nest, ecobee, and Honeywell Home), and integrated zoning thermostats that control multiple areas of your house independently. Our technicians will evaluate your HVAC system, electrical compatibility, and desired features to recommend the perfect model for your needs and budget.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing furnace or heat pump?
In most cases, yes. The majority of modern thermostats are designed to be compatible with single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-speed HVAC equipment. During our free in-home assessment we verify control board voltage, number of wires, common (C) wire availability, and whether advanced features like dual-fuel or humidifier control are required. If your current wiring is insufficient, we can add a C-wire adapter or run new low-voltage cable during installation.
How long does a professional thermostat upgrade take, and will my HVAC be down for long?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 45–60 minutes, including system testing and customer orientation. If new wiring, zoning modifications, or advanced configuration is required, the visit may run up to two hours. Your heating or cooling is only offline while we disconnect the old thermostat and power up the new one—usually less than 10 minutes.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for thermostat upgrades in the Ten Mile area?
Yes. Many electric co-ops and TVA energy-right programs serving Ten Mile offer $50–$100 bill credits for installing qualifying smart thermostats. Additionally, the 25C federal tax credit for energy-efficient home improvements allows up to $150 credit for advanced thermostats purchased in 2023-2032 when paired with eligible HVAC equipment. We provide all necessary documentation and help with rebate submission.
