FAQs
Are smart thermostats compatible with the heating and cooling equipment commonly found in Winfield homes?
Yes. Most smart thermostats work with the 24-volt (low-voltage) control systems used by forced-air gas furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps that dominate the Winfield market. During a free in-home assessment we verify the presence of a C-wire, check for multi-stage or dual-fuel equipment, and make sure any add-ons—such as humidifiers, ERVs, or UV lights—can also be controlled. If an older system lacks a C-wire, we can usually add one or install a power extender kit.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills by upgrading to a smart thermostat?
Across northern Illinois, the U.S. EPA reports average savings of 8–15 % on heating and cooling costs. In dollars, Winfield homeowners typically see $10–$25 off their monthly ComEd electric bill in summer and $6–$15 off their Nicor Gas bill in winter—often more if you enable geofencing, adaptive scheduling, and eco-away modes.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
Our NATE-certified technician first photographs and labels your existing thermostat wiring, mounts the new smart thermostat baseplate, and connects the wires. We then power up the unit, walk through the on-screen equipment setup, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and show you how to use the mobile app. A straightforward replacement takes about 60 minutes; adding a C-wire or integrating accessories may add another 30–45 minutes.
Can a smart thermostat help improve indoor air quality as well as temperature comfort?
Absolutely. Premium models can monitor indoor humidity, VOCs, and CO₂ levels and automatically run your HVAC fan, whole-house humidifier, or ERV/HRV to maintain healthy air. You can also schedule periodic fan circulation, receive filter-change reminders, and track air-quality trends in the companion app.
Will I be able to control the thermostat remotely or with voice commands?
Yes. Once connected to your home Wi-Fi, you can adjust temperature, fan mode, or humidity from anywhere using Android/iOS apps or a web dashboard. The brands we install integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings for hands-free voice control and automation routines.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Winfield for smart thermostat installations?
Through the ComEd Smart Thermostat Rebate, most DuPage County residents can receive a $75 instant rebate on qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. Nicor Gas customers may stack an additional $25 credit when installing the device with a natural-gas furnace. We handle the paperwork and file the rebate online for you, so the discount comes off your final invoice.
