Thermostat Installation and Setup

If the house never matches the number on the wall, the screen keeps going blank or a new smart thermostat never worked right, we check the wiring and the setup first. Then we supply, replace and set up a thermostat that matches the system it controls.

Thermostat problems we fix

We replace old thermostats and put in first smart thermostats, and either way we set it up for the system it runs.

  • Temperature never matches the setting
  • Thermostat blank or unresponsive
  • System short cycling on the thermostat
  • New thermostat wired to the wrong system
  • No C-wire at the thermostat
  • Programming that never worked

What changes the price

  • Whether a C wire has to be run
  • The type of equipment and how many stages it has
  • How many zones or thermostats there are

Before you replace a thermostat

The smart thermostat keeps going blank.

That's usually a missing common wire. Running a C wire fixes it for good, and we check the wiring in the wall before the new thermostat goes up.

It gets wired up but never set up.

We set it up for your equipment, staging and backup heat included, test every mode and show you how it works.

A thermostat can't cut a heat pump bill.

Set up right, it can, because it decides when the expensive backup heat comes on.

You lose a whole day to a small job.

We book you a next day window, so you plan around a couple of hours instead of the whole afternoon.

When thermostats cause trouble around DC

Bad settings show up when the house switches from cooling to heating. After the first freeze, around November 12, a thermostat that calls backup heat too early shows on the bill. See heat pump repair.

How the job runs

  1. 1We look at which wires are in the wall and what the new thermostat needs.
  2. 2We mount it and set it up for your equipment, staging and backup heat included.
  3. 3We run the system in each mode it has.
  4. 4We go through the settings with you, so you won't need the manual.

Thermostats questions we get asked

Why does my smart thermostat keep losing power?

⌄
Usually there's no common wire. There are workarounds, but running a C wire is the fix that lasts.

Can a thermostat make a heat pump cheaper to run?

⌄
Yes, if it's set up properly, because it controls when the expensive backup heat comes on.

A small job done properly

Wiring work warranted

A thermostat swap or a new C wire we run is covered by our 60 to 90 day warranty on the work, depending on the job. The thermostat itself carries its maker’s warranty.

A booked window for a short visit

Even a thermostat call gets a next day booking with an arrival window, so a twenty minute job doesn't cost you a day.
