Thermostat Types We Install

Not every thermostat fits every system, and not every homeowner needs the same features. Our free estimate includes a compatibility assessment so we can help you choose a thermostat that works with your existing HVAC equipment.

Manual Thermostats
Simple, reliable, and cost-effective. A good option for rental properties or straightforward systems where scheduling features aren’t a priority.

Programmable Thermostats
Set temperature schedules for different times of day and reduce unnecessary heating and cooling cycles during unoccupied hours. A practical upgrade for homes and businesses with predictable routines.

Smart & Wi-Fi Thermostats
Connect to your home or business Wi-Fi and adjust settings from anywhere via smartphone. Many models integrate with voice assistants and offer usage reports that can help identify where energy is going. Because wiring configurations vary by system, a compatibility check before purchasing is essential.

Multi-Zone Thermostats
Allow independent temperature control in separate areas of a home or commercial building. This is useful when occupancy and comfort needs differ significantly from one space to another.

What to Expect from a Thermostat Installation

Most standard thermostat replacements are completed in under an hour, though smart thermostat setups that include Wi-Fi pairing and app configuration can take a bit longer. Here’s how the process works when you schedule with us.

Free estimate and compatibility assessment before any work begins
Removal of the existing thermostat followed by a full evaluation of the wiring
Installation and wiring of the new unit, configured to your HVAC system
Calibration and placement check to confirm the thermostat isn’t positioned near a heat source, supply vent, or exterior window. Any of these can cause inaccurate readings and improper cycling.
Customer walkthrough covering settings, schedules, and features before we leave

Texas HVAC work falls under TDLR licensing requirements. A standard thermostat swap typically doesn’t require a separate permit, though installations tied to larger electrical or HVAC system changes may. We can let you know what applies to your job during the estimate.

Signs Your Thermostat Needs to Be Replaced

Thermostat problems are often mistaken for larger HVAC failures, and knowing the difference can save a significant service bill. If your system is running but not keeping up, the thermostat is a logical first place to look.

Thermostats that are 10 or more years old commonly lose calibration accuracy, meaning the temperature they read and the temperature in the room are no longer the same. That gap causes your system to run longer than necessary or cut off too soon. Watch for these signs:

Inconsistent temperatures from room to room, or failure to reach the set temperature
The HVAC system cycling on and off more frequently than normal
An unresponsive display or buttons that don’t register input
Programmed schedules that don’t hold or reset on their own
Rising energy bills without a change in usage habits

In Fort Worth, where cooling season runs from late spring through early fall, a thermostat that keeps your system running past the set point can drive up utility costs. If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, a thermostat replacement is worth evaluating before assuming the problem lies elsewhere.

Fort Worth Climate & Thermostat Performance

Fort Worth summers are long and consistently hot, with AC often running from May through September. A thermostat that misreads indoor temperature by even a few degrees forces the system to overwork, raising both wear and energy costs. High humidity during these months adds another factor: a system that cycles correctly helps manage indoor moisture, while one that cuts short due to a miscalibrated thermostat can allow humidity to build inside the home.

North Texas winters bring occasional hard freezes that put real demands on heating systems. A thermostat that responds accurately to indoor temperature drops is essential when conditions outside turn severe. Upgrading to a smart thermostat also lets you set cooling schedules around peak utility rate hours, which can help reduce what you spend during the hottest parts of the day without sacrificing comfort.

This company is great!
"Our second time using Bates. Just recently had them install a complete HVAC system and a mini split. This company is great. The owner is David Bates, He is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of HVAC. He gave me great options for the equipment, and his bid was excellent. The day of the installation, his crew came in and worked very efficiently and you can tell they are extremely experienced. They showed up exactly on time and did everything. They said they were going to do with no surprises. If you’re looking for an HVAC company in Granbury, I would definitely refer Bates Heating & Air!"

I’ve used Bates multiple times now.
“Their service is always fast! Both Adam and the entire Bates team are friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!”

Eliza

I’ve used Bates multiple times now.
"I’ve used Bates multiple times now, and have been pleased on all occasions! Back in May, our A/C stopped working. They had someone over here within a few hours, found the issue quickly (capacitor), and replaced it.
This week, I noticed both of my thermostats were off as well as our entire HVAC system. I could not get it to come back on so I called Bates. Again, they had someone over here within a few hours. Adam quickly found the issue, fixed it, and was on his way. Both Adam and the entire Bates team are friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!"

I highly recommend Bates!
“They are trustworthy and honest and that means more to me than anything. Thank you Bates for the fantastic service! You have one more loyal customer.”

Chris

I highly recommend Bates!
"Our HVAC system failed on us during the summer and I had heard good things about Bates so we decided to give them a call. First they tried to service the system which got us back up and running for a few days but then we lost our cooling again. They came back out and discovered a leak. We decided to replace the system and they presented multiple options like a good, better, best scenario. They were up front and honest in all of their interactions. They genuinely care for their customers and really made sure we were taken care of. We had another company come out that told us there was nothing they could do. Bates came out and immediately had answers to what was going on. They even gave a discount because I am a Veteran. I highly recommend Bates if you need anything with your HVAC system. They are trustworthy and honest and that means more to me than any "good deal". Thank you Bates for the fantastic service! You have one more loyal customer."

Bates was the right call to make.
“Called Bates and they were out the same day to evaluate the situation. They came out and installed my new system the very next day.”

Tony

Bates was the right call to make.
"My furnace went out just two days before the cold snap. Called Bates and they were out the same day to evaluate the situation. They came out and installed my new system the very next day. Temps were being to fall as they left the property. My home was warm and safe before the ice hit the ground. Bates was the right call to make.
Thank you Bates for quick, reliable and affordable service!
Highly recommend your next a/c and heating call, be Bates Heating and Air."

- Tony
They have the best techs!
“The owner, David, is always a phone call or text away. When it's time for an all new system, I know who I'll be calling. Highly recommend Bates Heating & Air.”

Kim

They have the best techs!
"Bates Heating & Air has kept my 2008 Carrier Infinity System running right without breaking my bank, which is no small feat, and many services I'd called in the past wouldn't even try because of this system's complexity and reputation for being persnickety. The owner, David, is always a phone call or text away and is vested in customer satisfaction. A recent service call by Adam, shows that Bates hires the best techs and people too. When it's time for an all new system, I know who I'll be calling. Highly recommend Bates Heating & Air."
