THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION IN NORTH LOUISIANA

Yes. Bring your Nest, ecobee, Honeywell, or any other smart thermostat and we'll confirm it's compatible with your system, install it, run a C-wire if it needs one, and set up the app and schedule. If it turns out it won't work with your equipment, we'll tell you before we start and suggest one that will.

The C-wire, or common wire, gives a smart thermostat the steady power it needs to run its screen and wifi. Many older North Louisiana homes were wired before smart thermostats existed and don't have one at the thermostat. We check for it first and, if it's missing, run one as part of the install so your thermostat works reliably instead of dropping offline.

For most homes, yes — a properly set-up smart thermostat can trim around 10% off heating and cooling by easing back when you're asleep or away and running smarter cycles. The key word is set up: a smart thermostat left on a bad schedule doesn't save anything, which is why we build the schedule with you before we leave.

A standard programmable swap is the cheapest option, and a smart thermostat install with wifi and app setup costs more. If your home needs a C-wire added, that's an extra line item, and multi-zone setups run higher. You get one flat-rate number covering the install and full setup before we start.

Yes, all the major brands — Nest, ecobee, Honeywell, Emerson Sensi, and standard programmable models. We'll install whichever you prefer, or recommend one matched to your furnace, heat pump, or AC and how your household uses the house.

A programmable thermostat follows a fixed schedule you set — it's a solid, budget-friendly upgrade from a manual dial. A smart thermostat adds wifi and phone control, learns your routine, adjusts automatically, and reports usage. If you want the lowest bills and remote control, especially through our humid summers, smart is worth the extra cost; if you just want a reliable schedule, programmable does the job.

A single thermostat controls one zone. If you want independent control of, say, upstairs and downstairs, that's a multi-zone setup with a thermostat per zone and zone dampers in the ductwork. We can quote adding zoning if room-to-room comfort is the goal.

Yes — heat pumps need a thermostat that supports heat-pump staging and controls the auxiliary (emergency) heat correctly. The wrong thermostat, or one wired wrong, can run your electric strips far more than needed and spike your winter bills. We set the staging up properly so aux heat only kicks in when the heat pump genuinely needs backup.

A straightforward like-for-like swap is usually under an hour. Adding a C-wire, setting up a smart thermostat with app pairing and a custom schedule, or configuring multi-zone control takes longer. We book enough time to finish the wiring, mounting, setup, and a full test in one visit.

We can. Our $189/year Service Savings Agreement Plan includes a Spring AC and Fall heating tune-up plus an annual plumbing check-up, and service members get 15% off repairs and priority scheduling — so pairing a thermostat upgrade with a seasonal tune-up is an easy, discounted way to knock it out.
