Is Your "Dumb" Thermostat Wasting Your Money?
- You leave for work and realize you left the AC blasting at 72°.
- You have to get out of bed in the middle of the night just to adjust the temperature.
- Your old thermostat is yellowed, hard to read, and impossible to program.
- You have "hot and cold spots" that a single sensor just can't fix.
Technology has advanced. Stop manually adjusting a dial like it's 1995.
The "Smart Home" Solution...
We install industry-leading smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell) that give you complete control from your smartphone. Plus, with Room Sensors, you can ensure the bedroom is the perfect temperature at night, not just the hallway.
1
C-Wire Installation: Most smart thermostats require a common wire (C-wire) for power. If you don't have one, we run new wiring professionally. No hacking.
2
Setup & WiFi Sync: We don't just hang it on the wall. We connect it to your WiFi, set up your account, and show you how to use the app.
3
Optimization: We configure the advanced settings (stage differentials, fan runtime) to maximize the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.
Comfort in the Palm of Your Hand
Imagine driving home from a trip and turning on the AC from your phone so the house is cool when you arrive. Or asking Alexa to "turn down the heat" without leaving the couch.
"I bought a Nest online but couldn't get it to work because I have an older furnace. Nick Tech came out, ran a new wire, and had it up and running in an hour. He even helped me set up the schedule on my phone."
- Brian C., Carmichael
Thermostat Upgrades
The thermostat is the brain of your HVAC system. A smarter brain means better performance.
We install all major brands: Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, and Emerson.
Professional installation prevents short-cycling and blown fuses.
You can, but without a C-wire, smart thermostats "pulse" your HVAC system to steal power, which can damage your control board over time. Professional install is safer.
SMUD and PG&E often offer rebates for installing ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats. We can help point you to current offers.
Yes! Most modern thermostats integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit for voice control.
WIRING WARNING
Touching the wrong two wires together can blow your furnace's motherboard.
- 24v vs Line Voltage – Installing a low-voltage thermostat on a high-voltage heater is a fire hazard.
- C-Wire Issues – Using "power extender kits" incorrectly can cause your AC to turn on randomly.
- Peace of Mind – We verify voltage and amperage draw to ensure perfect compatibility.
