Start Now and Save

This virtually eliminates the need for you to pay for costly repairs. You’ll enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that your system is saving you money on your utility bills every time it comes on. In some instances, the energy savings are enough to pay the cost of the planned annual maintenance service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of thermostats do you install?
We install everything from basic digital thermostats to advanced smart models with Wi-Fi, voice control, and learning capabilities. Whether you prefer simple functionality or high-tech features, we’ll help you find the right fit for your HVAC system.
How do I know if my thermostat is malfunctioning?
If your system won’t turn on, the temperature feels off, or your thermostat is unresponsive or displays incorrect readings, it may be failing. We can inspect and repair or replace it quickly to restore proper control.
Can I install a smart thermostat with my existing HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. Smart thermostats are compatible with many modern HVAC systems, including furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless units. We’ll confirm compatibility and handle the professional installation for optimal performance.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat?
Smart thermostats help reduce energy use by learning your schedule, adjusting automatically, and giving you remote control via smartphone apps. They can improve comfort and lower utility bills—especially during Northern VA’s hot summers and cold winters.
How often should I replace my thermostat?
Most thermostats last 10–15 years. If yours is outdated, inaccurate, or incompatible with your upgraded HVAC system, it may be time to replace it for better performance and efficiency.
Will I need Wi-Fi to use a smart thermostat?
Yes, Wi-Fi is required to access advanced features like remote control, app scheduling, and system monitoring. If you don’t have Wi-Fi, we can still install a programmable or digital thermostat with basic functionality.
Do thermostats need maintenance?
Thermostats require minimal maintenance, but you should periodically check the settings, battery (if applicable), and ensure it’s clean and level on the wall. During regular HVAC maintenance, we’ll also inspect the thermostat for accuracy.
Can a faulty thermostat affect my heating and cooling system?
Absolutely. A malfunctioning thermostat can cause short cycling, system failure to start, or uneven temperatures. If your system isn’t responding as expected, the thermostat is one of the first things we check.
What’s the difference between programmable and smart thermostats?
Programmable thermostats follow a set schedule that you create, while smart thermostats learn your habits and adjust automatically. Smart models often offer additional features like remote access, energy reports, and voice control.
Do you help with thermostat setup and user training?
Yes! We not only install your thermostat, but we also walk you through how to use it—whether it’s setting a simple program or syncing a smart thermostat to your phone. We want you to feel confident and in control of your comfort.
