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 Many homes have an outdated thermostat that is so cumbersome to use that many homeowners just set it to a single temperature and leave it alone.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.

John Deverall I would give 10 stars if I could! My AC went out and had a company come tell me it was an evaporator leak and would be at least $6k! James came out, did a thorough system test and found it was a wiring problem. Cost less than $200. He saved me and taught me a lot about my system. Highly recommend!!! krister kroll Straight shooter. Gives you options and works to fix your unit instead of pressuring you into buying a new one. Ive had others like Right Now come by and they just want to sell you a new unit. I much prefer working with an owner operator verses a company owned by private equity. Nathan Hall James was super helpful and fast. Came by to do a quick check on our AC and cleaned our outside unit. Jordan Thomas Called Gem Heating to get some work done on my A/C unit and they were able to get me in the same day when other companies told me it was a 3 month wait.

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.
