"VERY UNETHICAL. Did not fix our problem and said we needed a new furnace. Called another company and fixed in a half hour, no parts needed. Had I not followed my intuition we would have paid over $10K for a new furnace we did not need. Very friendly, wolves in sheep clothing. Buyer beware!"

"First time I met Mr Thorson was on a Friday evening around 7pm.. Our AC stopped cooling and it was June 2021. Mr Thorson responded after hours and fixed our unit. He was quick and efficient, and reasonable. The next year (2022) the AC crapped out again almost to the day one year later.Again Mr Thorson responded and got us up and running. This time we decided it was time for a new unit. The unit has been installed and works great, Jackie and her assistant replaced my heat and ac unit. They did a great job. I highly recommend Thorson Heating and AC, price quality and ease of communication are top notch and I have a hometown company that I can count on for my duration. If you are thinking of having any heating or cooling work done include Thorson's in your process."

We guarantee satisfaction on our services and products and we pride ourselves in our ability to find the right equipment for your needs AND your budget. Our main goal is, and always will be to provide complete customer satisfaction on every job!
"Initially all went well, it was installed in a timely manner. One reason I went with Ryan’s was the assurance of being able to call him, if there were any issues or other problems in the future. Shortly after the install, I called, then texted and finally emailed with a question with no response, Fast forward a year, I was set up with another company for a routine furnance maintenance, a day before the service, the furnance stopped working. First I called Ryan’s, thinking to give him a second chance, once again, no response. I called the other company, who found multiple, serious issues, including the gas valve that was bulging and close to exploding. The valve was not properly set. Another of the issues was the incorrect installation on the venting system. Also the heat exchange unit had holes in it. Because of all of this, a new furnance had to be installed. It was very disappointing a small, local company would not stand behind its work. I would never recommend this company, it was money wasted and a lot of hassle."

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.
