Smart Thermostats Installs & Replacement
Your thermostat is the cheapest, fastest upgrade you can make to your HVAC system — and thanks to Duke Energy’s ongoing rebate and sale pricing on select smart thermostats, it often costs you next to nothing out of pocket. We install Ecobee and Honeywell smart thermostats and we’ll tell you straight which one actually fits your home.
Why a Smart Thermostat Is Worth the Upgrade
A programmable thermostat from a decade ago just turns your system on and off on a schedule. A modern smart thermostat actively works to save you money and gives you a level of control and insight your old thermostat never could:
Lower energy bills
smart scheduling and adaptive learning cut down on the heating and cooling you're paying for but not actually using
Remote control from anywhere
adjust your home's temperature from your phone, whether you're at work, on vacation, or just don't want to get off the couch
Long-term energy trends
see how your usage changes month to month and season to season, so you actually know what's driving your bill instead of guessing
Smarter comfort
features like geofencing, room sensors, and adaptive scheduling mean your home adjusts to how you actually live, not a rigid schedule
Ecobee vs. Honeywell
We install both, and the right one comes down to your home and how you want to use it. Here's how we typically walk homeowners through the decision:
We'll walk you through both during your visit and recommend the one that actually matches your home — not whichever one happens to be sitting on the shelf.

The Duke Energy Rebate — How It Usually Works Out
Duke Energy regularly runs discounted pricing on qualifying smart thermostats through their online store, and stacks that with an instant rebate at checkout. Combine that with Duke's separate program that pays you a bill credit for enrolling a qualifying smart thermostat, and the math frequently lands at little to no cost for the thermostat itself — sometimes free.

People think a thermostat upgrade is a small thing, but it's usually the best money-per-dollar upgrade I recommend. Between what Duke's got going on right now and the actual savings on your bill, it's one of the easier calls I make. I'll tell you which model actually fits your setup — not just whichever one's on sale that wee
