A smart thermostat saves energy, gives you phone control, and makes your HVAC system more convenient. But wrong wiring or bad configuration means it won't communicate properly with your heating and cooling equipment. and in some cases, incorrect wiring can damage the thermostat or your HVAC system. We've fixed DIY smart thermostat installations in Bowie homes where the homeowner accidentally blew a fuse on their furnace control board.

When You Need Smart Thermostat Installation
Install a smart thermostat if you want to control your home's temperature from your phone, save energy with automatic scheduling, or just stop wasting money heating and cooling an empty house. Any thermostat that uses mercury, has a manual slider, or doesn't have programmable features is costing you 10 to 15 percent more on your energy bills every month. That's $200 to $400 a year in the Bowie climate where you run HVAC almost year-round.
Our Smart Thermostat Installation Process

We test heating, cooling, fan, and emergency heat modes before leaving.
