Why San Fernando Valley Homeowners Trust MightyServ Thermostat Services
If you’re like most homeowners, aside from the occasional dusting, you probably don’t give your home’s thermostat much thought.
But thermostats have come a long way in the last few years. They’re no longer simple on-off switches; they’re bona fide smart electronic devices full of features and functions. And no matter how sleek smart thermostats look, there’s a whole lot of programming behind them. It’s a lot for homeowners to learn!
That’s why MightyServ offers a full range of thermostat services. Whether your current unit is malfunctioning or you need help programming your new one, we bring years of expertise and our signature friendly, professional attitude. With our NATE-certified technicians, 4.9-star average Google rating, and same-day service, MightyServ has been trusted by Valley homeowners since 1963.

Signs You Need a New Thermostat
Thermostat Types: Which Is Right for Your Home?
Smart Thermostats
New, Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostats are digital and can handle high-efficiency, multi-stage heating and cooling systems. Some also integrate your variable energy costs to adjust your home to preset temperatures, helping keep your energy bills low.
Some of the smartest thermostats can even integrate with ceiling fan controls and interface with your whole-home smart system. No need to interrupt family time — let your preferred smart assistant take care of it for you.
Programmable Digital Thermostats
If you’re not ready to fully dive into the connected home world, a programmable digital thermostat might be a good option. These devices allow you to set schedules for each day, weekdays, or weekends (5+2 for weekdays + weekends or 5+1+1 for weekdays + Saturday + Sunday set separately). The challenge with programs is that most people never set them up, or if they do, they constantly override their own settings. This means you’re not getting the advertised energy savings.
But if you do want to go with a digital thermostat, look for one with a backlit display. That way, you can see your temperature settings no matter how much light is in your hallway.
Contact/Manual Thermostats
Older contact thermostats rely on a tube of mercury to tip over whenever your home’s heating and AC need to switch on or off. So compared to the hundreds of functions built into smart thermostats, you just get one function in a contact thermostat: on or off.
And although simplicity may sound refreshing, there are many challenges with these old-style thermostats. First, they aren’t programmable, and they’re notoriously inaccurate. And they require manual adjustment to change the temperature, which means you could be using more energy and putting more wear on your HVAC than you really need to.
MightyStat: MightyServ’s Smart Thermostat
MightyStat is MightyServ’s proprietary smart thermostat solution. Unlike traditional thermostats, MightyStat learns your habits and automatically adjusts heating and cooling, reducing your energy bill by up to 20% according to our customers.
MightyStat smart thermostats offer a range of benefits, including:
Energy Savings and Efficiency
MightyStat learns your daily routines and adjusts heating and cooling automatically to avoid energy waste. It reduces temperature settings when you’re away or asleep and optimizes climate control based on your preferences. Many users see significant reductions in energy bills thanks to these intelligent adjustments and built-in energy-saving features.
Remote Access and Real-Time Control
With a MightyStat smart thermostat, you can control your home’s temperature from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or just in bed, you can easily adjust the settings to suit your needs. This level of control helps you maintain comfort while avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling when no one is home.
Seamless Smart Home Integration
MightyStat integrates with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, allowing you to control your system using simple voice commands. It also works with other smart home devices and systems, enabling full home automation. Features like geofencing can even detect when you leave or approach home, automatically adjusting the temperature for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your thermostat is over 10 years old, having trouble keeping consistent temperatures as programmed, its display is broken, or your energy bills unexpectedly spike, it’s likely time for a replacement. If you’re experiencing a one-off problem with a newer thermostat, though, it’s worth trying to repair it.
Thermostat installations typically take between 30 minutes and 1 hour. If you’re installing a smart thermostat, though, expect to spend a little more time with your technician setting up schedules and learning how to use the thermostat and its app.
Absolutely. The thermostat acts as the “command center” for your heating and air conditioning system, so if it’s faulty, it can lead to inefficiency, decreased comfort, higher energy costs, and even damage to your system.
A programmable thermostat lets you set schedules, but it isn’t “smart” in the sense that it can self-adjust or connect with other smart devices. True smart thermostats can learn from your energy consumption to automatically adjust your schedules and keep your energy bills down. Smart thermostats can also be controlled from anywhere via apps and integration with virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri.
Yes, we do. MightyServ is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, so we’re particularly trained and experienced in handling Carrier products, but we also service all other types of thermostats, like Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell. Our NATE-certified technicians care about doing the job right, no matter the brand.
