Thermostats & Controls services
Controls services cover the thermostat, zoning dampers and the electrical parts that start and protect your HVAC system. Many no-cool or no-heat calls turn out to be a failed capacitor, contactor, fuse or wiring problem rather than a major component.

Smart thermostats need the right wiring, often including a common (C) wire, and correct settings for heat pumps, dual-fuel and multi-stage equipment. Zoning systems use motorized dampers and a control panel to send air where it is needed, which helps two-story homes and rooms with big windows.
Electrical work on HVAC equipment involves high voltage and stored energy in capacitors. Homeowners can reset a tripped breaker once, but repeated trips, burning smells or buzzing at the outdoor unit need a technician.

FAQ
Thermostats & Controls questions
Will a smart thermostat work with my system?+
Most do, but heat pumps, multi-stage and older two-wire systems may need a C wire or an adapter. A tech can confirm compatibility.
Why does my outdoor unit hum but not start?+
A failed run or start capacitor is the most common cause. Turn the system off and call; forcing it can damage the compressor.
Is zoning worth it?+
In homes with large temperature differences between floors or wings, zoning can improve comfort substantially when the ducts are designed for it.
