Choosing a new thermostat can feel overwhelming with the variety of options available today. Our team has the expertise to help you navigate the choices and select a model that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle, budget, and comfort goals. We specialize in the installation of all major thermostat types and brands.

Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats represent the latest in home comfort technology. These Wi-Fi-enabled devices learn your household's patterns and can automatically adjust the temperature to save energy when you're away and ensure perfect comfort when you're home. You can control them from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or smart home assistant.

Key Features:

• Remote access and control via Wi-Fi
• Learning algorithms that adapt to your schedule
• Detailed energy usage reports
• Geofencing capabilities to adjust temperature based on your location
• Integration with smart home ecosystems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

Programmable Thermostats

A step up from traditional models, programmable thermostats allow you to create a heating and cooling schedule based on your weekly routine. By setting different temperatures for weekdays, weekends, and times when the house is empty, you can significantly reduce energy waste without sacrificing comfort.

Key Features:

• Set-it-and-forget-it scheduling for consistent comfort
• Multiple programming options (e.g., 7-day, 5-1-1 day, 5-2 day)
• Digital displays for easy reading and operation
• A proven method for managing energy costs effectively

Non-Programmable Digital Thermostats

For those who prefer simplicity and manual control, a non-programmable digital thermostat is an excellent choice. These units offer precise temperature setting and an easy-to-read digital screen, providing a reliable and straightforward upgrade from older, mercury-based analog models.

Key Features:

• Simple, user-friendly interface
• Accurate digital temperature display
• Reliable and budget-friendly
• Durable, no-fuss operation

Signs It's Time for a New Thermostat

Your thermostat may not be the first thing you think of when your HVAC system acts up, but it’s often the source of the problem. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time for an upgrade or replacement.

• Inaccurate Temperature Readings: The temperature on the thermostat doesn't match the actual temperature in the room.
• HVAC System Won’t Turn On or Off: The thermostat fails to communicate properly with your furnace or air conditioner.
• Frequent Short Cycling: Your heating or cooling system turns on and off in rapid, short bursts.
• No Power or Unresponsive Display: The thermostat screen is blank or the controls do not respond.
• Outdated Model: You still have an old, manual dial thermostat that lacks accuracy and efficiency features.
• Recent HVAC Upgrade: A new, high-efficiency HVAC system performs best when paired with a modern thermostat that can support its advanced features.

The Critical Benefits of Professional Thermostat Installation

While a DIY thermostat installation might seem tempting, incorrect wiring or improper placement can cause significant damage to your HVAC system, void your warranty, and create a safety hazard. Trusting a Southern Air professional ensures the job is done right the first time.

• Guaranteed System Compatibility: Our technicians will verify that your new thermostat is fully compatible with your specific heating and cooling equipment, whether it’s a furnace, heat pump, or central air conditioner.
• Optimal Placement for Accuracy: We know where to place your thermostat for the most accurate temperature readings—away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. Proper placement is key to consistent comfort.
• Safe and Correct Wiring: HVAC systems involve complex, low-voltage wiring. Our experts handle all electrical connections safely and correctly, preventing short circuits that can damage your system’s control board.
• System Configuration and Setup: We don’t just mount the device on the wall. We properly configure all advanced settings, connect it to your Wi-Fi network if it’s a smart model, and ensure it communicates flawlessly with your equipment.
• Protecting Your Warranty: Many HVAC and thermostat manufacturers require professional installation to keep the product warranty valid. Our certified service protects your investment.
