Smart Thermostats

A smart thermostat lets you set and check your heat and air conditioning from your phone, and set schedules that fit how your household actually lives. We sell smart thermostats and install the ones we supply, wired and set up right for your system.

Picking a thermostat

What to think about before you upgrade

  • Your system type Boilers, furnaces, heat pumps and central air wire differently, and the thermostat has to match.
  • Zones Homes with more than one thermostat have a separate zone for each one.
  • Power Many smart thermostats need steady power through an extra wire, which not every older system has.
  • How you’ll use it Some people want a phone app and schedules; others just want an easy-to-read screen.

We’ll help you pick one that fits.

Why have a pro install it?

Thermostat wiring isn’t the same on every system. Boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, central air and multi-zone setups each wire differently, and some smart thermostats need an extra wire for power. We check that the thermostat works with your equipment and that heating and cooling both run correctly after the install. Thermostat wiring connects to your heating equipment’s controls, so we don’t recommend doing it yourself on an oil or gas system.

Install day

What happens on install day

  • We check how your current thermostat is wired and confirm the new one is right for your equipment.
  • We mount the new thermostat and connect it.
  • We test heating, and cooling if you have it, to make sure both run correctly.
  • We help you get started with the settings and schedules.

Thermostats we supply

We prefer to install the equipment we supply, so your new thermostat comes from us and is installed by us. If a model isn’t the right match for your system, we’ll tell you before we install it.

Already have problems?

If your heat or AC isn’t working right, the thermostat may or may not be the cause. Need an existing system diagnosed or repaired? Schedule an HVAC service appointment with one of our technicians. Any applicable diagnostic fee will be explained before your service appointment is confirmed.
