FAQs
Thermostats questions
Will any smart thermostat work with my system?
Not necessarily. Compatibility depends on the HVAC equipment and the wiring at the thermostat. We confirm compatibility before installation so the new thermostat works with your heating and cooling system.
Where should a thermostat be installed?
A thermostat should be on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources, in a spot that represents the home's typical temperature. Placement affects how accurately it controls comfort.
