Programmable Digital Thermostats

A properly installed programmable digital thermostat can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 10% per year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Our technicians install your new thermostat, connect it to your existing HVAC system, and program temperature schedules based on your daily routine.

We walk you through the settings before we leave, so you know exactly how to adjust schedules, set hold temperatures, and switch between heating and cooling modes. If you work a standard 9-to-5 or have an irregular schedule, we'll set up a program that matches your lifestyle.

Still using a mercury or basic dial thermostat? Older units lack the precision and scheduling features of modern programmable digital thermostats. We remove your outdated unit, verify the wiring meets current standards, and install a new digital thermostat that gives you accurate temperature readings and flexible programming options.

Upgrading is especially worthwhile if your current thermostat reads temperatures inaccurately or doesn't maintain consistent comfort levels. A digital replacement eliminates guesswork and helps your HVAC system run more efficiently.

Smart thermostats like the Ecobee, Google Nest, and Honeywell Home T-Series offer remote access through smartphone apps. Our team installs and configures Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats, so you can adjust your home's temperature from anywhere, useful for Florida homeowners who travel or maintain seasonal residences.

We connect the thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network, link it to your preferred app, and verify that remote commands function correctly. If you use a voice assistant like Alexa or Google Home, we can integrate that as well.

Not every thermostat works with every HVAC system. Some programmable digital thermostats require a C-wire (common wire) that older homes may not have. Our technicians assess your current wiring configuration and determine what's needed before any installation begins.

If your system requires additional wiring, we handle that too. Because R.J. Kielty employs licensed electricians alongside HVAC technicians, we resolve compatibility issues in a single visit, no need to schedule a separate electrician.

A thermostat is only as effective as its calibration. If the temperature sensor reads two degrees high, your system cycles off too early and leaves the space uncomfortable. We calibrate every thermostat we install using independent temperature measurements to confirm accuracy.

Beyond calibration, we check your HVAC system's response time and cycle patterns. If your air conditioner short-cycles or your heat pump takes too long to reach the set temperature, we identify the cause and recommend solutions.

Larger homes and commercial buildings often benefit from multi-zone HVAC systems. Each zone operates on its own programmable digital thermostat, allowing different temperature settings for different areas. A warehouse office doesn't need the same cooling as the warehouse floor, and a second-story bedroom often runs warmer than the ground-floor living room.

R.J. Kielty installs and configures multi-zone thermostat systems, so each area maintains its own schedule and temperature. We balance airflow between zones and verify that dampers and zone controllers communicate correctly with each thermostat.
