"The techs were good but $1100 for a thermostat repair is outrageous even subtracting the $400 emergency for a Saturday job. The salesman struggled to justify the numbers. Due to this experience I will not consider Grasshopper for a large upcoming project (AC heat pump)."

"Smart Fixers came to me through Angi to repair my storm door. I was simply interested in getting an estimate. We had an appointment set for the next day. At the time of the appointment, he called me to ask if we had an appointment. He showed up late. The estimate wasn't provided until he was fixing the door. Same applied to the ceiling fan he installed. He also did some other work for me including fixing a couple of doors, changing a filter , assembling a few things and cleaning the gutter. Those were done fine Smart Fixers saw that I was working with another contractor on building a screen room on my deck. He expressed interest in doing the job for a much cheaper price than the contractor. He reassured me that he had done this before and would be able to complete this work within a week. I clearly stated to him that I didn't know anything about constructions (masonry, carpentry, roofing). I had a structure in mind and I hoped for something safe and sturdy from an expert. He charged me for labor and I was responsible for the materials. The estimate that he gave was way off and I inquired about it, he said that he didn't account for taxes. Few things happened: 1. He recommended sheetrock at the base of the screen room and charged me $1000 for this. I soon found out from colleagues and other contractors that these did not belong outside at all. He seemed not to know this. It got me really concerned. I asked for reimbursement and he did so. 2. I also noticed issues with the screens, they weren’t fitted properly and some parts as holes. He didn't seem to check the quality of his work. I had to check every single detail. His original way to address this was to double to screen. I refused and he had to refit them. 3. I ended up buying and picking the doors myself after the ones he was going to buy were not only very expensive but also very poorly rated online. He approved of the doors after I showed it to him. Turned out they didn’t fit the frame. When I asked for the doors to be repaired, he told me that he was operating at a loss and needed to go make money elsewhere prior to finishing the work. I had to research a few things on my own to help with this, but it didn't work. 4. On the day the work was supposed to be completed, I noticed water coming in the roof. He built a roof above the gutter. When I brought it up to him, he kept telling me that he did whatever I asked him to do. Again, who's the expert? He also alluded to the gutter being an issue.. He came back and put glue under my gutter and added a piece of wood to Prevent the rain from coming in. Once tested, no water was coming in. 7. I also noticed that the shingles were not set up evenly on both sides. Again I had to look at every detail of his work because he wouldn't inspect even the most obvious issues. 8. I called a specialist as the work was winding down as I became more doubtful of his skills. Those specialists reviewed the work and pointed out various structural defects including poorly framed doors, defective roof that was installed above the gutter. Although the rain was no longer grossly coming in the screen room, with time it was going back into the soffit and eventually damaging the house. I did pay Smart Fixers in good faith and in the hope that he was going to address all my concerns properly eventually. He refused to address the gutter and the roof claiming that he did what I asked and the gutter was the issue. I find myself having to pay $485 just to remove the sheetrock . Almost $8000 for repairing the roof so it doesn't damage my house in the future. This guy was way out of his debt although he will never acknowledge that. I should have done my homework properly. I wanted to support a man trying to build his business. Cheap is never really cheap when it comes to construction. If you are looking for someone to do random small jobs in your house, maybe Smart Fixers is for you although there are plenty of people out there. For construction and larger projects, proceed with caution or go with someone reputable."

It's often worth replacing your old thermostat with a newer model that can enhance your home's comfort and energy efficiency. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can save you up to $200 per year on energy bills. Plus, smart thermostats offer convenient features like remote control and learning capabilities, making your home more comfortable and easier to manage.
Signs of a bad thermostat include your HVAC system not turning on when it's supposed to or failing to reach the desired temperature. If the thermostat's display is blank or not functioning properly, it could be malfunctioning. Another indicator is the HVAC system running continuously without shutting off or cycling on and off too frequently. You might also notice uneven temperatures throughout your home, with some rooms being too warm or too cold. These issues suggest that the thermostat is failing and may need repair or replacement to ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently.
A thermostat should last between 10 to 20 years, depending on its quality and how well it's maintained. Over time, dust, wiring issues, and general wear can affect its performance. Even if a thermostat is still functioning after 10 years, you might choose to replace it to take advantage of newer energy-saving technologies and smart home integrations. Upgrading to a modern thermostat can improve efficiency, offer more control over your home's climate, and potentially lower energy bills.
The number of thermostats you need depends on your home's size, layout, and heating and cooling zones. In a standard single-zone HVAC system, one thermostat controls the temperature for the entire home. However, larger homes or those with multiple floors might benefit from multiple thermostats linked to a multi-zone HVAC system. This setup can offer better comfort and energy efficiency: It lets you customize the temperature in different areas, so you're only heating or cooling the spaces you're using.
Replacing a thermostat typically takes a professional technician about one to two hours to complete. If you're swapping out an existing thermostat for a similar model with compatible wiring, the process can be done in less than an hour. However, installing a new thermostat that requires additional wiring, such as a smart thermostat, or moving the thermostat to a new location can extend the time to two hours or more. Complex installations may also involve cutting into drywall or integrating with other home systems, which can add to the duration.
There are a few things that can cause your home thermostat to fail. The most simple one is age and cleanliness. Dirt, grease, dust, and other small particles can clog sensors and cause malfunctions in readings. You may also have a failing power supply and loose connections, and the simplest cause is that it isn't installed in the right place in your home so it can't properly sense air temperature. Repairing a thermostat costs around $210.
