Boise Smart Thermostats
HVAC Thermostats in Boise, Idaho
Remember the Jetson’s with their smart gadgets and advanced home of the future?
Well, these smart thermostats have come a long way since then. Many homes have an outdated thermostat that is so cumbersome to use that many homeowners just set it to a single temperature and leave it alone. Or worse, only the man of the house gets to touch the thermostat!
When you opt for a smart thermostat, you can tie it to your phone through a mobile app, putting the comfort of your home right at your fingertips. This helps to improve the efficiency of your system drastically, by creating easy to manage schedules and usage reports on the fly.

Customer Testimonials
Chris Monier Reached out to Gem Heating and Air Conditioning after finding out our dryer vent was not up to code and a potential fire hazard. James came out the next day, went over quotes with different options, explaining the pros and cons of each, wasn't pushy whatsoever and didn't try to upsell us. We decided a direction and he came out and completed the work the next day. The work was done quickly and they left my space cleaner than they found it. Will 100% be using them for any HVAC needs going forward. Carol L Chase They’re wonderful David “Aerothises” Fast response time, transparency, documentation, and personalization. I am happy with y'all's service call and look forward to working with you all in the future. I hired the company to come out and do a seasonal inspection, and they found a handful of items that the previous installers overlooked either in haste or carelessness. We put together a plan to keep the system running at peak performance after the initial evaluation that exposed issues that reveal a darker story for the other company I hired last year. Danny Warn If you are looking for a small local business, that will look you in the eye and tell it to you straight, you found the right place Bonnie Olswanger James came over to diagnose a potential gas leak coming from a line under our home and was super respectful and extremely helpful. Thank you for such great service and for giving us peace of mind! Mike James did a great job installing a new hot water heater on our property. He also agreed to inspect 3 questionably installed mini splits. All in all, we were very satisfied with the service he provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for plumbing or HVAC service. Cameron J Gem Heating & Air is awesome! They were able to come out and troubleshoot my issues quickly and gave me several price options to choose from and I never felt any pressure to over buy. All my questions were answered and the few concerns I had were resolved through pleasent conversation. Quality of work was top notch. Professionalism was among the best I've worked with. I absolutely reccommend Gem Heating & Air. Garrett James and Ezra came out within about an hour to help me get my AC unit back up and running. They were very friendly and professional and made sure I was well educated on what my options and costs were and even told me what to look out for in the future with that AC unit to stay ahead of any problems. I can’t thank them enough. Bryce Straub James and his daughter Mila are true professionals. I've had issues with my AC for the last 4 years and have had several companies come out and not solve the problem. James came out and diagnosed thee problem in an efficient and professional manner that left no doubt what the problem was. He was very friendly and was able to describe cause to my complaint, why it was the cause, and also provided the solution. Thankfully this time it was a cheap fix. Finding good repairmen is a challenge these days and once you find one you better hang onto that number. We will be holding onto his number for ourselves and passing it around to everyone. Thanks again James and Mila from Gem Heating and Air Rob Dennler James has been great to work with. He's very detailed and thorough in his process, taking time to offer thoughtful explanations of his findings, while providing no-pressure solutions at very competitive prices. Would happily recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer smart thermostats when I buy a new HVAC system from you?
We sure do! Although not required with a new furnace and air conditioning installation, we highly recommend upgrading your older thermostat to a more energy-efficient smart thermostat. We can consult you on our model recommendations during our HVAC consultation.
Will you teach me how to use my smart thermostat after installation?
Absolutely! We will install your thermostat along with pairing it to your smartphone and teach you how to use and manage your heating and air conditioning settings from your smartphone app.
Is it true that a smart thermostat will save me money on my energy bills?
Yes. Smart thermostats are designed to be highly customizable when it comes to setting schedules for heating and cooling. This means your HVAC unit will run only when it should, rather than all the time to help preserve energy.
Can I upgrade my thermostat even if we have an older HVAC unit?
Most definitely! Although the wiring can change when it comes to installing your thermostat, smart thermostats can be used in conjunction with almost any heating and air conditioning unit with ease.
What are the top smart thermostats on the market that you recommend?
Some of the top brands include Nest, Google, Honeywell, Ecobee, as well as many other options. All of them will give you the option to control your heating and cooling from your phone, which makes life easy.
How long do smart thermostats need to be upgraded?
A smart thermostat should last you many years. It’s hard to put a number on it, but you should easily be able to get 10+ years on your thermostat, if not more. Normally homeowners only upgrade due to obsolete technology. opposed to their unit becoming defective.
Do smart thermostats run on battery or are they wired into my home's power?
Both. Most smart thermostats run on both a lithium battery which should last around a year, as well as hired wired into your house wiring that runs directly to your furnace. Lithium batteries last longer than normal ones, so you won’t need to change them often.
