Ares Plumbing & HVAC installs and configures smart and programmable thermostats across the Wasatch Front. A thermostat has to match your equipment. Heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, two-stage furnaces and humidifiers all need specific wiring and settings, and many older homes need a common (C) wire added for a smart thermostat to work reliably.

What is different in Utah
For dual-fuel systems, the thermostat decides when to switch from heat pump to gas. Setting that switchover point correctly matters for both comfort and cost in Utah winters.

Frequently asked questions
Will a smart thermostat work with my system?
Most will, but not all. It depends on your wiring and equipment type. We check before installing.
What is a C-wire?
A common wire supplies continuous power to the thermostat. Many smart thermostats need one, and older homes often do not have it.
Do smart thermostats save money?
They save by running schedules and setbacks consistently. Savings depend on how you used your old thermostat.
