THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
The thermostat is the brain of your home's heating and cooling system — and the right one can mean the difference between a home that's always comfortable and a home you're constantly adjusting. At Ashley Heating Air and Water, we've been helping Boise and Nampa homeowners take control of their indoor comfort since 1910. Ashley installs the full Trane thermostat lineup — from straightforward traditional models to advanced smart thermostats and whole-home zoning systems — and backs every installation with the expertise and integrity that have defined Ashley for over a century.
Whether you're replacing a thermostat that finally gave out, upgrading to take advantage of your new Trane system's capabilities, or interested in controlling different rooms at different temperatures, Ashley has a solution. Ashley Comfort Specialists will evaluate your existing system, explain your options in plain language, and recommend the thermostat that delivers the best performance for your home — with no pressure and no upselling.

TRADITIONAL THERMOSTATS RELIABLE SIMPLICITY
Not every homeowner needs a Wi-Fi connected smart thermostat — and Ashley will always be honest with you about that. Trane's traditional thermostat lineup offers reliable, intuitive comfort control without the complexity of smart features. If you have a single-stage or two-stage HVAC system and prefer straightforward operation, Ashley recommends a Trane traditional thermostat as a dependable, long-lasting solution.
Trane's traditional thermostats include non-programmable and programmable models with clean digital displays — a significant upgrade from the old circular dial or toggle-switch units many Boise and Nampa homes still have. Ashley installs and calibrates every traditional thermostat to work correctly with your specific system, and can replace an old unit typically in a single visit.

HVAC ZONING SYSTEMS
Every room at the right temperature
Does your upstairs roast while your downstairs stays cool? Does your home office bake in the afternoon sun while the rest of the house is comfortable? These are zoning problems — and Ashley Heating Air and Water has been solving them for Boise and Nampa homeowners with Trane Link Zoning systems. Ashley designs, installs, and programs zoning systems that divide your home into independently controlled comfort zones — so every room is exactly right, without wasting energy conditioning rooms that are empty.
Ashley's Trane Link Zoning installations use motorized dampers in your ductwork that open and close to direct conditioned air precisely where it's needed. A central system controller manages up to 6 zones, each with its own temperature sensor — and the whole system is accessible through your smart thermostat or the Trane Home App from anywhere.

-
Ashley installs motorized modulating dampers in your ductwork — these precisely control airflow to each zone
-

-

-
Each zone can be set to a different temperature — independently, on its own schedule
-
The system controller coordinates damper positions and HVAC output for maximum efficiency
-
Ashley backs every zoning installation with a 100% written satisfaction guarantee
ZONING | Trane Link Zoning System
Whole House Zone Control
Ashley recommends Trane Link Zoning for multi-level homes, large square footage, homes with rooms that never reach the right temperature, and homeowners who want room-by-room control of their energy use. Ashley designs every zoning system specifically for your home's layout.
Featured Model: Trane Link Zoning — up to 6 zones
✓ Up to 6 independently controlled zones — Ashley designs every zone layout
✓ Motorized modulating dampers — precision airflow control to every zone, installed by Ashley
✓ Zone menu screen: all controls in one place — Ashley trains you on every feature
✓ Individual zone scheduling — Ashley programs each zone's schedule at commissioning
✓ Ashley recommends pairing zoning with the Premier 20 TruComfort for the best possible performance
✓ Trane Link Zoning requires a fully communicating Trane Link system
✓ System usage history — Ashley reviews every zone's data at maintenance visits
✓ Trane Home App: monitor and adjust every zone from your smartphone, anywhere
✓ Solves hot-upstairs/cold-downstairs problems — Ashley's most common zoning recommendation
✓ No ductwork? Ashley also installs Mitsubishi multi-zone ductless systems — up to 8 zones
Ideal For: Multi-level Boise and Nampa homes where temperatures vary significantly between floors or rooms; homes with additions, sunrooms, or bonus rooms that the central system can't adequately reach; homeowners who want room-by-room energy management.
Trane Link Zoning works best when paired with a variable-speed system. When Ashley installs a Premier 20 TruComfort heat pump or air conditioner with Trane Link Zoning and a UX360 smart thermostat, you get a fully communicating system where every component — from the outdoor unit to the individual zone dampers — works together intelligently. Ashley designs these complete system solutions and handles the full installation, commissioning, and programming.
No ductwork? Ashley is also an authorized Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor, and installs multi-zone ductless systems with up to 8 independently controlled rooms — an effective alternative to ducted zoning for homes without existing ductwork.
