"Technician Jim was not impressive. Was not confident when answering the questions I asked. Very contradicting.. Tried to sell product for items that were not even in need of repair. Spoke negatively about the company and made excuses as to why he could not perform his job due to lack of information from dispatch or technician manager. Said he would follow up, I never heard from him. Blessing to me, I decided to go with another HVAC company. I typically would not put names out there, but please be careful if you get this gentleman as a technician."

"I was a customer of 1st Choice Heating a Cooling for 10 years or more. They installed a furnace in my prior home and just under 3 years ago installed an a/c unit in my current home. Had great service from them up until my most recent interaction. My a/c unit has a 10 year parts warranty and a 1 year labor warranty. The condenser fan motor went out. The part is 100% covered but the labor is not covered. I was charged $160 for a trip/diagnostics fee, then the quote for labor was just over $900. I was able to negotiate the labor down to $650 which is still extremely high given the repair took less than an hour to complete. Price gouging their customers by including filing fees and processing fees in with the labor fee for repairs where the parts are covered and labor is not. The owner was rude and condescending in his communications through the BBB. Claimed I was the problem since maintenance wasn’t done on my 2 year 10 month old a/c unit. I would not recommend 1st Choice Heating & Cooling."

"Do not trust Keith elliot and fresh start renovations. Keith started working for us on January 28, 2025. We met him at a coffee shop and told him exactly what the job position entailed. He seemed like a great fit. He said him and his brother owned like 5000 units. Now I question that. He’s very personable. Do not be fooled by him. He is also seems very educated on maintenance and construction projects. I asked him if he knew how to run ductwork for an existing air handler at a house we were selling? He said oh yes, I know how to do it. Keith and Rick his co-worker spent a few days re-running all the duct work. It looked like it was done right. He charged us. $3126.40 for labor & $1098.04 for material. We called a professional license company to hook up the air handler. He came over to give me an estimate on the air handler and said will be more than happy to do this. However, your duct work is completely done wrong. I was in shock I said what do you mean it’s done wrong? He said all the runs are too small. It will not do anything. It’ll never be able to keep up and explained what had to be done. unfortunately, it had to all be redone. I had told this to Keith that it’s all going to have to be redone and that he’s going to have to repay us back for the labor. He agreed that he would pay it back. In hindsight, we should’ve saw the signs. He had excuses when he wouldn’t respond to us for days on end. We have tenants that needed maintenance done that he was ignoring. He also did other maintenance or projects wrong that ended up costing us a lot of money and materials and labor that he charged us for even though it wasn’t done correctly. Our gas fireplace was not working. He put the parts of $550 in it worked for a minute. Then stop working. I asked him if it’s not gonna work then we need to take these parts back. That was a whole another fiasco. They take one part out and take it back to Racine all dirty and the company didn’t want to take it back. I asked him to clean it up and why would he try to return it like that? Then there’s another part once again had to go back to the house take it off and return it. We were charged all this time in labor? We asked him to wrap some pipes in the basement. They wrapped it with some silver aluminum material. It looked really stupid and that was more cost that we couldn’t return the material because it was already used. We send them over to one of our other properties had a water leak going to the downstairs. He said it was a shower. I was getting ready to redo the whole shower. Thank God he didn’t show back up because it wasn’t the shower. It was the roof vent. Early on when he was working for us, we asked him to pick up a Well from Lisbon and install it at one of our properties outside. It’s a front window for the basement. They don’t install it. They just said it next to it for somebody to steal. I’m sure there’s a lot of other issues that we dealt with, but this is just some of them and he only worked for us for a couple months. We have repeatedly tried to resolve this without taking us to the authorities to fall on deaf ears. He would say yes I’m coming over. We would set a time and not show up and now he’s just ignoring our text messages. He has been warned. Unfortunately, now we have to report him and his business to the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s list where we found him and end up having to sue him in court if he doesn’t settle up with us. Like I said, he’s a very nice guy and very personable, but not trustworthy. He not only kept the 60 receipts of ours. He kept our Home Depot card and our master key and I’m gonna call the state of Wisconsin to see if I can file a report for theft of Contractor. Very sad that you can’t trust anybody these days because he seems so trustworthy."

Thermostat installations and replacements FAQs

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.
