Thermostat Installation

The thermostat is the primary interface you have with your heating and cooling system. It is a small device that plays a huge role in your home’s comfort and energy consumption. Upgrading from an old manual thermostat to a new programmable or smart model is one of the most cost effective energy saving improvements you can make. At Heatwave Solutions, we specialize in professional thermostat installation. We can help you navigate the latest technology and choose a thermostat that perfectly matches your lifestyle and your HVAC equipment. Our expert installation ensures you get all the benefits your new thermostat has to offer.

There are three main types of thermostats available today. The most basic is the non programmable, or manual, thermostat. This type requires you to manually adjust the temperature every time you want to make a change. While simple, they are not efficient, as they rely on you to remember to make adjustments. The next step up is a programmable thermostat. This type allows you to create a heating and cooling schedule based on your daily routine. You can set it to automatically lower the temperature when you are away at work or asleep, and then warm or cool the house just before you return or wake up.

The most advanced option is a smart, or Wi-Fi, thermostat. These thermostats connect to your home’s Wi-Fi network, offering a host of advanced features. You can control a smart thermostat remotely from an app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. This means you can adjust the temperature from anywhere. Many smart thermostats also have learning capabilities; they can learn your habits and preferences over time and automatically create a schedule for you. They can also provide you with detailed energy reports, showing you exactly how and when you are using energy.

A professional installation from Heatwave Solutions is crucial to ensure your new thermostat works correctly. While it may seem like a simple device, thermostats need to be wired properly to your specific HVAC system. Different systems, such as a standard furnace and AC, a heat pump, or a multi stage system, all have different wiring requirements. Our technicians have the expertise to identify your system type and wire the new thermostat correctly. An incorrect installation can lead to your HVAC system not functioning properly or even cause damage to its sensitive control boards.

Our installation service is quick, clean, and professional. A technician will arrive and first safely disconnect your old thermostat. We will then install the new mounting plate and carefully connect the low voltage wires to the correct terminals on your new thermostat. We make sure the installation is neat and secure. If you are upgrading to a smart thermostat that requires a continuous power source, we can run a new wire from your HVAC system if your existing wiring does not have a “C” wire, or common wire.

Once the thermostat is installed and powered on, we will help you with the initial setup. We will connect it to your Wi-Fi network, if it is a smart model, and configure it to match your specific HVAC equipment. We will then walk you through the basic functions, showing you how to set a schedule, change the temperature, and access any advanced features. We want to make sure you are completely comfortable using your new device so you can start saving energy and enjoying enhanced comfort right away. We will answer all your questions before we leave.

Upgrade the brain of your comfort system today. A new thermostat is a small change that can make a big difference in your home’s comfort and your monthly budget. Trust the experts at Heatwave Solutions for a safe, correct, and professional thermostat installation. We can help you select the model that is right for you and get it installed perfectly.

Most Common Thermostat Installation Questions

Upgrading your thermostat is a smart move, but with all the new technology, it is common to have questions. Understanding the features and benefits can help you make the best choice. Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions about thermostat installation.

While both programmable and smart thermostats allow you to automate your home’s temperature, a smart thermostat offers a higher level of connectivity and more advanced features. A programmable thermostat is a standalone device. You program a schedule directly into the unit using its buttons and screen. For example, you can set it to 68 degrees in the winter while you are at work and then have it automatically raise the temperature to 72 degrees just before you get home. This “set it and forget it” scheduling is its primary feature and can save you significant money compared to a manual thermostat.

A smart thermostat does everything a programmable thermostat does, but it also connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network. This connectivity unlocks a world of advanced features. The most significant feature is remote control; you can monitor and adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using a smartphone app. This is incredibly convenient if you forget to adjust the temperature before leaving on vacation or if you are coming home earlier than expected. This remote access gives you ultimate control over your comfort and energy use.

Beyond remote control, smart thermostats offer features like learning algorithms that can automatically create a schedule based on your habits. They can use geofencing to detect when you leave home and when you are returning, adjusting the temperature accordingly. They provide detailed energy usage reports that help you understand and optimize your consumption. Many can also be controlled with voice commands through smart home assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. A smart thermostat is a true smart home device that provides convenience and data driven insights beyond simple scheduling.

Yes, upgrading your thermostat, especially from a manual model to a programmable or smart one, can absolutely save you a significant amount of money on your energy bills. The savings come from reducing your heating and cooling usage when you do not need it, such as when you are asleep or away from home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save as much as 10 percent a year on your heating and cooling costs by simply turning your thermostat back 7 to 10 degrees from its normal setting for 8 hours a day.

A programmable or smart thermostat automates this process for you. It ensures you are consistently saving energy without sacrificing comfort. You do not have to remember to turn the thermostat down when you leave or worry about coming home to an uncomfortable house. The thermostat manages the schedule for you, warming or cooling the house back to your desired comfort level just before you arrive. This consistent, optimized schedule is where the real savings are found.

A smart thermostat can help you save even more money by providing you with data and insights. Its energy reports can show you exactly how much your HVAC system runs and highlight opportunities for further savings. Some smart thermostats can also learn the efficiency of your specific HVAC system and optimize run times to be more cost effective. The small investment in a new thermostat can pay for itself in energy savings in as little as a year or two, making it one of the most cost effective energy upgrades you can make.

The “C” wire, which stands for “common” wire, is a low voltage wire that provides a continuous flow of 24 volt power from your HVAC system to your thermostat. Traditional thermostats, especially older mechanical or battery powered programmable models, did not need a continuous power source. They could get the small amount of power they needed through the heating and cooling wires or from their internal batteries. However, modern smart thermostats, with their Wi-Fi radios, full color touchscreens, and advanced processors, require a constant and reliable power source to function. This is where the C wire comes in.

To determine if you have a C wire, you can remove your current thermostat’s faceplate and look at the wiring terminal. If you see a wire connected to a terminal labeled “C”, then you have one. If that terminal is empty, you likely do not have a C wire running to your thermostat. Without a C wire, a smart thermostat will not work correctly. It may not power on at all, or it may try to “steal” power from the other wires, which can cause your HVAC system to behave erratically or even damage its control board.

If you do not have a C wire, do not worry. Our professional technicians at Heatwave Solutions can easily solve this problem during the installation. In many cases, there may be an extra, unused wire tucked inside the wall behind the thermostat that can be connected and used as a C wire. If there is no extra wire, we can run a new thermostat cable from your HVAC system’s air handler to the thermostat location. We can also install a plug in transformer or a special adapter that allows the thermostat to get continuous power without a dedicated C wire.

While installing a thermostat may seem like a simple DIY project, it can be more complicated and riskier than it appears. It is generally recommended to have a professional technician handle the installation. The main reason is that incorrect wiring can cause significant problems. There are many different types of HVAC systems (single stage, multi stage, heat pumps, dual fuel, etc.), and each has a unique wiring configuration. Connecting a wire to the wrong terminal on the new thermostat can prevent your system from working, cause it to operate incorrectly, or, in the worst case, short out and damage the expensive control board in your furnace or air handler.

A professional technician from Heatwave Solutions has the knowledge and experience to identify your specific HVAC system and wire the new thermostat correctly the first time. We understand the function of each wire (R, W, Y, G, C, etc.) and how they need to be connected for your particular equipment. We can also handle any complications that may arise, such as the need for a C wire, which often requires work at the HVAC unit itself. We ensure the installation is safe and that your system’s warranty is not voided due to improper installation.

Beyond the wiring, a professional also ensures the thermostat is properly configured in its software settings to match your equipment. This setup is crucial for the thermostat to control your system efficiently and for all its features to work as intended. When you hire us for the installation, you are not just paying for someone to connect a few wires; you are paying for the expertise and peace of mind that comes with knowing the job is done right, protecting your comfort and your significant investment in your HVAC system.

The location of your thermostat has a significant impact on its performance and its ability to accurately read your home’s temperature. A thermostat should be installed on an interior wall, in a central location of your home where there is good, natural air circulation. This allows it to get a representative reading of the overall temperature of your living space. The main living room or a central hallway are often ideal locations. It should be mounted about 52 to 60 inches off the floor.

There are several places where you should avoid installing a thermostat. Do not install it in direct sunlight, as the heat from the sun will cause it to think the room is warmer than it actually is, leading it to run your AC unnecessarily. Similarly, avoid placing it near any heat sources, such as lamps, televisions, or kitchen appliances. You should also avoid placing it directly above or near supply air vents, as the direct blast of hot or cold air will give it a false reading.

It is also important not to install a thermostat on an exterior wall. These walls can be colder or warmer than the indoor air, which can skew the thermostat’s readings. Likewise, avoid locations that do not have good air circulation, such as in a corner, behind a door, or in a room that is rarely used. If your thermostat is in a poor location, it will struggle to maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout your home. During an installation, our technicians can help you assess your current location and recommend a better one if needed.

If you are installing a brand new, high efficiency HVAC system, it is almost always necessary to install a new, modern thermostat along with it. While your old thermostat might be technically able to turn the new system on and off, it will not be able to take advantage of the advanced features that make the new system so efficient and comfortable. Modern HVAC systems often have multiple stages of heating and cooling or fully variable speed components. These features require a compatible thermostat that can “speak the same language” to control them properly.

For example, a two stage furnace has a low setting that runs for a longer time to provide gentle, even heat, and a high setting for very cold days. An old, simple thermostat can only tell the furnace to be “on” or “off.” It cannot control the different stages. You need a two stage compatible thermostat to unlock the comfort and efficiency benefits of that feature. The same is true for variable speed air handlers and multi stage heat pumps. Using an old thermostat with a new, advanced system is like putting budget tires on a high performance sports car; you will not get the performance you paid for.

When you invest in a new HVAC system from Heatwave Solutions, we will always include and recommend a new thermostat that is perfectly matched to the equipment. This ensures that all the system’s features work together seamlessly from day one. It guarantees you will get the maximum energy efficiency, the best comfort, and the most reliable performance from your new system. Trying to save a small amount of money by keeping an old, incompatible thermostat is a mistake that will cost you much more in the long run through lost efficiency and comfort.
