We provide fast, professional installation to guarantee your new equipment communicates flawlessly and safely with your central system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Thermostats
Can I just install a smart thermostat myself?
While many smart thermostats are marketed as DIY-friendly, older homes often lack the necessary "C-Wire" to power them. Furthermore, wiring it incorrectly can blow the low-voltage fuse on your furnace control board. Professional installation ensures it is done safely and correctly the first time.
What is a "C-Wire" and why do I need it?
The Common Wire (C-Wire) provides continuous 24-volt power from your HVAC system directly to the thermostat. Because smart thermostats have large digital screens and constant Wi-Fi connections, they require a dedicated power source to function. If your home does not have one, our technicians can run a new wire or safely install an adapter.
Will a smart thermostat actually save me money?
Yes. By learning your schedule and automatically entering energy-saving modes when you are at work or sleeping, the US Department of Energy estimates homeowners can save up to 10% on heating and cooling costs a year by using a smart thermostat.
Can a smart thermostat control my home's humidity?
High-end models can be wired to communicate directly with whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers, allowing you to monitor and control both temperature and humidity levels from a single digital interface.
Will my smart thermostat work if the Wi-Fi goes down?
Yes. If your internet goes out, the smart thermostat will continue to operate your HVAC system exactly like a traditional thermostat based on your last saved schedule. You just won't be able to adjust it remotely from your phone until the connection is restored.
