FAQs
Why should I upgrade my thermostat instead of keeping the one that came with my system?
A modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you precise temperature control, better airflow management and remote access through a phone app. In Ten Mile’s humid summers and chilly winters, this translates to steadier indoor comfort and energy savings of 8–20 % a year. Upgrades also come with diagnostic alerts that can warn you of HVAC problems before they become costly repairs.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing heating and cooling equipment?
Almost every forced-air furnace, heat pump and central AC unit installed in the Ten Mile area since the early 2000s supports a low-voltage (24 V) thermostat connection that smart models use. During our free in-home assessment we confirm wire count, common (C) wire availability, system staging and accessory controls (humidifier, dehumidifier, UV lights). If your wiring is outdated, we can add a C-wire or install a power extender kit so your new thermostat runs safely and reliably.
How much money can I expect to save after the upgrade?
Savings vary by household, but ENERGY STAR data show Ten Mile homeowners save $50–$180 per year when switching from a manual to a learning or programmable thermostat. Features like geofencing, adaptive recovery, and humidity optimization help cut runtime on both your furnace and AC, so payback is typically 12–24 months—faster if you enroll in local utility rebate programs (up to $75 per thermostat).
Which thermostat features matter most for homes in Ten Mile?
1) Learning or schedule-based programming to track your routine. 2) Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity for app and voice control. 3) Humidity sensing to handle our muggy summers. 4) Multi-stage and heat-pump compatibility to maximize system efficiency. 5) Energy-use reporting so you can see exactly when and why your equipment runs. 6) Over-the-air software updates to stay current with utility demand-response programs.
Can I install the thermostat myself, or do I need a professional?
Some owners successfully install a basic smart thermostat, but incorrect wiring can short the control board or void your HVAC warranty. Precision Comfort’s NATE-certified technicians handle wiring checks, firmware setup, and system calibration in about an hour, ensuring your furnace cycles, heat pump balance point and fan speeds are all optimized. Professional installation also qualifies you for our two-year labor warranty and any available manufacturer rebates.
What is included in a Precision Comfort thermostat upgrade visit, and how long does it take?
A standard visit lasts 60–90 minutes and includes: (1) pre-install inspection of wiring, breaker, and equipment staging; (2) safe removal of the old thermostat; (3) new thermostat mounting and level adjustment; (4) wiring, firmware update, and Wi-Fi pairing; (5) programming of schedules suited to Ten Mile’s climate; and (6) homeowner training plus a printed quick-start guide. We also register the product for warranty and file any local utility rebate paperwork on your behalf.
