Bo was absolutely wonderful in discussing everything with us for our tankless water heater. The crew that worked to take out of tank water heater, and install the tankless was heater were great as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Hats Off Heating and Air Conditioning. We actually hired them to be our AC/Heat guys for all tuneups in the future even though we did like our previous company, Hats Off was just so personable, and it's nice to have the same company for everything. Thank you Bo, and Team for a great job, and a seamless experience.Posted on GoogleMargaret GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Always do excellent work. Explains what needs to be done succinctlyPosted on GoogleLee BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I called Hats Off because they had great reviews and are family-owned. I had a clogged drain line from heat pump that needed to be resolved because the water pan overflowed and leaked through my ceiling. The technician, Evan, was very kind and walked me through everything he was doing including taking before/after pictures. He recognized the issue, cleaned out the line, and also recommended a safety switch to prevent the heat pump from continuing to run if the line gets clogged again. He was able to install the switch during the same visit. I appreciate their integrity and transformation. I was not left guessing about what was going on or what I was paying for. Thank you to Evan and Hats Off.Posted on GoogleJaclyn MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Very professional and thorough. They take pictures and share them and provide all the details of the inspection done on the unit. Great company!!
Common Issues We Troubleshoot With Thermostats
Thermostat problems are often mistaken for bigger HVAC issues, when in reality the fix is much simpler than homeowners expect. A miscalibrated thermostat can cause your system to run longer than necessary, which drives up energy costs without improving comfort. This is a common issue in Virginia Beach, VA, where humidity swings can throw off a thermostat’s readings if it is not properly equipped to handle them.
Wiring issues are another frequent culprit, especially in older homes where thermostats have been replaced or upgraded over the years without addressing outdated connections. A thermostat that will not turn on, has a blank display, or does not respond to changes in settings often points to a wiring or power problem rather than the thermostat itself failing. Sensor issues can also cause a thermostat to misread the actual room temperature, leading to inconsistent comfort from one part of the house to another.
Programming errors are common with smart thermostats, particularly when schedules or settings have not been adjusted for the season. Our technicians can quickly determine whether a problem is a simple fix or a sign that thermostat replacement in Virginia Beach, VA, makes more sense than continuing to troubleshoot an aging unit.
Benefits of Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats in Virginia Beach, VA, offer homeowners a level of control that traditional thermostats simply cannot match. Instead of manually adjusting the temperature throughout the day, a smart thermostat learns your habits and adjusts automatically, leading to meaningful savings on your energy bills over time.
Remote access is one of the most practical benefits. You can change your home’s temperature from your phone, whether you are at work, on vacation, or just do not want to get off the couch. This is especially useful in Virginia Beach’s long cooling season, where you can adjust settings remotely to avoid running the AC unnecessarily while you are away.
Many smart thermostats also provide detailed energy usage reports, so you can see exactly where your heating and cooling dollars are going and make adjustments accordingly. Some models can even detect humidity levels, which matters in a coastal climate where excess moisture can make a home feel warmer or stickier than the temperature alone would suggest.
Types of Thermostats Available
There are several types of thermostats available, depending on your home’s needs and the level of control you want over your HVAC system. Here are the main options we install and service:
- Smart thermostats
- Wi-Fi enabled thermostats
- Programmable thermostats
- Digital non-programmable thermostats
- Zoned system thermostats
- Humidity-sensing thermostats

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my thermostat needs repair or replacement?
If your thermostat is having wiring, sensor, or programming issues, a repair may solve the problem. If it is outdated, incompatible with a new HVAC system, or has repeated issues, replacement is usually the better long-term option. Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation.
Are smart thermostats worth the investment?
For most homeowners, yes. Smart thermostats can lower energy bills through automatic scheduling and remote access, and many models offer humidity tracking that is especially useful in a coastal climate like Virginia Beach.
Can you install a smart thermostat with my current HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. Compatibility depends on your system type and existing wiring. Our technicians can confirm compatibility and handle the installation so everything works together correctly.
Why does my thermostat show the wrong temperature?
This is often caused by a sensor issue or improper placement, such as being too close to a window or vent. Our technicians can diagnose the cause and correct it during a repair visit.
How long does thermostat installation take?
Most thermostat installations take an hour or two, depending on the wiring complexity and whether any additional setup is needed.
