When It Comes to Installing a Smart Thermostat, you will want to leave that to the Experts!
You may be tempted to buy one of those sexy thermostats at Home Depot or Lowes, like the Nest Learning Thermostat, because of its promotion to: 1. Program itself; then, 2. Pay for itself. While that is true, you should never INSTALL IT YOURSELF!
Installing a thermostat is one of those Don’t Do It Yourself-ers. And, for good reasons.
- It’s dangerous, first and foremost. Anytime you are messing with electricity, you are at risk for shock. Thermostats are hardwired and require electrical knowledge and experience to install. So this is your warning, don’t ever try to install a thermostat of any kind yourself. Call the Experts.
- Not all thermostats work on all equipment models. Nest, for example, has two models of thermostats: the generational Nest Learning stat and a newer Nest Thermostat E. The former is the original and better known, but it is more expensive than the Nest E. That is causing more homeowners to choose the cheaper model. While that cheaper Nest E does everything that the original does, it is not compatible with some HVAC systems. But, that doesn’t stop homeowners from buying and installing it. And, those are the calls we get! “Expert, I installed a new Nest thermostat that I ordered from Amazon and now my air conditioner won’t work.” That situation is only going to cost you more money because you won’t be able to return the now used thermostat and you will want to purchase the one that does work. Call the Experts and get it right the first time!
