Your thermostat tells your heating and cooling system what to do, so the wrong model or wiring can waste energy or confuse the equipment. Home Run installs programmable and smart thermostats for furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps in homes across Covington, Conyers, McDonough and nearby Georgia communities.
Why Upgrade Your Thermostat
- Create schedules that lower heating and cooling when you are asleep or away
- Control the temperature from your phone
- Get filter reminders, usage reports and system alerts
- Improve comfort with better control of multi-stage and variable-speed systems
- Replace an old thermostat that reads inaccurately or no longer works
Compatibility Matters
Not every thermostat works with every system. Heat pumps need a thermostat that controls the reversing valve and backup heat correctly. Two-stage and dual-fuel systems need thermostats that support those stages. Many smart thermostats also need a common wire (C-wire) for steady power. We check your equipment and wiring first so the thermostat you choose works the way it should.
Placement and Setup
A thermostat in direct sunlight, near a supply vent or on a drafty exterior wall reads the wrong temperature. If the current location causes problems, we can discuss moving it. We finish by setting up schedules, heat pump and backup heat settings and Wi-Fi so everything is ready to use.
Thermostat FAQs
What if I don’t have a C-wire?
Options include using a spare wire in the existing cable, running a new cable, or installing an adapter. We will choose the most reliable option for your system.
Will a smart thermostat work with my heat pump?
Most will, as long as they are configured for heat pump operation, including the correct reversing valve and backup heat settings.
