Open the old thermostat, photograph the wiring, verify you have a C-wire (most smart thermostats need one). If not — we retrofit or add a 24V adapter.
Install ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, or Emerson. Wire O/B for heat-pump reversing valve; wire W2 for auxiliary-heat staging. Configure schedules + sensors.
Sync with your HVAC, test heat/cool/fan cycles, walk you through the app. 1-year install warranty.
Usually weak 2.4GHz coverage at the thermostat location. Mesh extender or relocation fixes it.
O/B reversal is the #1 install error. We verify heat-call vs cool-call behavior during commissioning.
Compatibility issue between thermostat + heat-pump brand. We reconfigure staging or swap to a brand-specific model.
Adapter (ecobee PEK or Nest Power Connector) for most setups; full C-wire retrofit for tougher cases. $120-$180 either way.
