This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A technician takes the old thermostat off the wall, labels and disconnects its wires, mounts the new one and connects the wires to match. Then the system is switched on to check that the thermostat starts the heating and the cooling when it should.
Installing a thermostat does not repair the system. If the heat or the air conditioning is not running, the cause may be somewhere else, and finding it is a service call.
What's usually included
- Removing the old thermostat
- Mounting and wiring the new one
- Checking that heating and cooling respond
What moves the price
- Moving the thermostat
- Putting the new one in a different spot, away from a sunny window or a drafty hall for example, means running wire to the new location and patching the wall at the old spot.
- Old or unmarked wiring
- Older homes may have thermostat wires that are brittle, too few or not labeled. Tracing them takes time, and replacing them adds to the job.
- Remote sensors
- Some smart models read the temperature from small sensors placed around the house. Mounting and linking them is extra work.
- Heat pump settings
- A thermostat on a heat pump has to be set up for the backup heat as well as heating and cooling, which takes more attention than one on a basic system.
- Models that need constant power
- Without a spare wire for steady power, a smart thermostat may need an adapter at the equipment or a new wire pulled through the wall, and pulling a wire is usually more work.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each HVAC company before you compare prices:
- Is the thermostat itself in this price, and which model is it?
- Will my current wiring work with this thermostat, or does a wire or an adapter need to be added?
- Is setup in the price, including schedules, the phone app and any room sensors?
- Is this model made to work with my heat pump or my multi-speed system?
