Thermostat Installation — Book a Visit Today

Usually yes, though it depends on your wiring and equipment. Heat pumps with backup heat, two stage furnaces and zoned homes all need specific setup. We check for a common wire first, since many older homes do not have one run to the thermostat.

We will install a thermostat you purchased if it matches your equipment. Bring us the model name when you call and tell us whether you have a heat pump, gas furnace, propane or wood backup, and we will say up front whether it will work.

Most straightforward replacements are done in about an hour, including testing a heating and a cooling cycle. Running a new common wire, adding zoning controls or sorting out mislabeled old wiring adds time. We will tell you what we find before we start extra work.

A thermostat reads the air right around it. Mounted near a supply vent, a lamp, a sunny wall or an exterior door, it reads temperatures the rest of the house never sees. We move controls to an interior wall at a normal living height when that is the problem.

Sometimes. Zoning helps when ductwork can be split into separate areas with their own dampers and controls. If the real issue is undersized duct, leaking returns or attic insulation, zoning alone will not solve it, so we look at airflow before recommending it.

Yes. A stuck relay, a shorted wire or a control set to the wrong system type can hold the equipment on. It can also be a problem out at the unit rather than the thermostat, so we test both ends before replacing anything.
