Thermostats and Your HVAC System
Before selecting a thermostat, it's crucial to ensure compatibility with your existing heating and cooling system. Our team of experts will take a look at your system and make recommendations based on your cooling and heating system. Some smart thermostats may not be compatible with older systems or specific HVAC setups. Be assured that we will have a solution that will work with your current setup.
Programmable and Smart Thermostat Features
Programmable thermostats offer customized scheduling for heating and cooling, optimizing energy use. Features like 7-day or 5-1-1 schedules allow you to adjust temperatures based on your daily routine. Smart thermostats enhance this functionality with Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone app control, and voice assistant integration. These technological marvels can learn your habits, automatically adjust temperatures based on your schedule, and provide energy usage reports. When considering a smart thermostat, evaluate features like remote access, compatibility with other smart home devices, and ease of use. We prioritize ENERGY STAR certification to ensure energy efficiency.
Installation, Zoning, and Other Considerations
Installation requirements vary depending on the thermostat we recommend to you. Some models require a C-wire for continuous power, while others do not. The installation process and your existing wiring will be a part of our evaluation and recommendation. If your home has multiple heating and cooling zones, a zoning system with compatible dampers and thermostats can improve comfort and efficiency. If you have a home that can benefit from zoning, we'll talk to you about how it works and can help.
