Smart Thermostats in Boise, Idaho

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 Many homes have an outdated thermostat that is so cumbersome to use that many homeowners just set it to a single temperature and leave it alone.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

Got an old system? Don’t worry! We can retrofit most systems out there without having to overhaul the furnace or air conditioner!

Call us if you have any questions about different features or products out there, OR if you want us to come install a new smart thermostat for you.

  We had initially gone with our original HVAC contractor who had installed the system 9 years prior.  A couple of weeks ago, they came out and fixed an AC issue and supposedly did their maintenance service on our furnace.  They installed a new capacitor on the AC but said the burned out capacitor had created some other issues and the AC would not work for long.  They wanted to sell us a whole new unit.

A week later, the gas furnace wouldn’t kick on.  We called out Gem Heating and they came out within 24 hours.  They said our AC was fine and no damage was done by the burned out capacitor.

They also fixed the furnace by blowing it out with a compressor.  They said that should have been done as part of the routine maintenance for which we paid our prior contractor.

We since learned that our prior contractor had been bought by a private equity firm.  We were very happy with their installation 9 years ago, but not so much this time around.

We would highly recommend Gem Heating, but recommend staying away from Ultimate.

  10/10! Gem is a local HVAC company with honest business practices. Gem Heating stood out from the start. I talked to the owner, James, to schedule a diagnostic visit for our aging A/C that was acting up. He came the same day, and was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I didn't expect him to be willing to work with our old A/C unit, but he gave us multiple solutions that covered a range of costs. James did a great job educating my husband about our system, and explaining what was going on and how each solution would work. Once we made our decision, he had our A/C up and running within an hour.

Gem Heating stands out as an HVAC company that is personable, thorough, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!!

  James came out very quickly for an urgent AC matter in hot summer weather. We so appreciate his professionalism and conversation about our system. He was willing to talk us through his estimate and hear our thoughts and concerns. He ended up going above and beyond. We highly recommend Gem Heating! And we love that they are truly locally owned and ran, not some big corporation that pretends to be local.

  James did a great job.  He was out at our house within 2 hours of my calling in for services.  Not ont did he fully explain what was wrong with our unit but showed me all the system test results. He was very professional and respectful.  I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others who need good HVAC services!!

  We recently had an issue with our A/C Cooling Properly.  I contacted Gem State Heating and Air Conditioning to schedule an appointment.  James visited our residence and immedietely identified the issue that was causing our A/C unit to improperly cool down.  Within a short time we were able to cool down our home; which is critical during the summer months.  I highly recommend Gem Heating and Air Conditioning for HVAC Services.

  James came and diagnosed our water heater issue and had us fixed up in a day. Customer service and communication was above and beyond. Pricing was fair but the personal small business touch was worth every penny. He even painted and primed the wall behind the water heater which wasn’t even in the original bid.

If you need anything to do with heating and air, plumbing, etc. these are the guys to call! They’re the only ones allowed to touch our mechanical now!

  These guys are personable and humble. They do exactly what they say they will do, and will not screw you over like the other HVAC companies in the valley. Other companies just want to sell you new units even though all you might need are repairs. Not this team. This team will take care of you and I trust them wholeheartedly. If I did HVAC, I'd proudly work for someone like James. 🔥

  My mini split decided it wasn’t going to blow anymore cold air due to a leak. Called Gem and they came out the same day to get me hooked up.

He quickly found the issue and took care of it.

Now it’s blowing nice and cold.

Highly recommend Gem Heating & Air for their professional and fast service.

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.
