Why Professional Installation Makes a Difference
Most smart thermostats can be DIY-installed on simple systems. But Bay Area homes — especially those built before 1990 — often have 2-wire systems, heat pumps with auxiliary heat, or zoned configurations that require careful wiring and configuration.
A misconfigured smart thermostat can cause your system to short-cycle, run in the wrong mode, or fail to switch between heating and cooling — costing you more than you’d save. Our HVAC-certified technicians ensure the installation is done right, the app is set up, and you actually use what you paid for.

Smart Thermostat FAQ
Most modern systems are compatible, but older Bay Area homes (pre-1990) sometimes have 2-wire systems that require a C-wire adapter or a thermostat with a built-in power kit (like the Ecobee). We always check compatibility before installation.
For most Bay Area homeowners, we recommend the Ecobee SmartThermostat or Nest Learning Thermostat 4th Gen. Both work with heat pumps, support emergency heat, integrate with PG&E's SmartAC program, and have strong multi-zone support.
Yes. PG&E's SmartAC program offers up to $85 for enrolling a qualifying smart thermostat. BayREN also provides incentives in some participating cities. We'll help you identify which programs your thermostat qualifies for.
Simple systems can be DIY-installed. However, if your system uses a heat pump, multi-stage heating/cooling, needs a C-wire added, or has a zoned system — professional installation prevents misconfiguration that can cause short-cycling, no-heat situations, or voided warranties.
ENERGY STAR estimates 10–12% on heating and 15% on cooling. With Bay Area PG&E rates among the highest in the US, many homeowners see $150–$300/year in savings — the thermostat pays for itself in 1–2 years.
