Why Use a Pro for Smart Thermostat Setup
Wiring errors are the most common cause of smart thermostat problems. Many Sacramento homes have older wiring that lacks a C-wire. We add a C-wire adapter or run a new wire so the thermostat gets steady power. Heat pumps need a thermostat set to O/B mode. A wrong setting forces the aux heat on too often and raises your bill.
SMUD's Time-of-Day rates charge more during peak hours of 4 to 7 PM. A smart thermostat can pre-cool your home before peak rates start. That shift alone can save $100 to $200 per year for a typical Sacramento home. Fresh Air has installed 900+ HVAC units since 2009 and holds CSLB #945361.
