A smart thermostat only saves money when it is wired and configured for your equipment. We see a lot of DIY installs where a heat pump runs on emergency heat all winter or the C-wire was never connected. Ours are set up right the first time.
What we set up
- Correct wiring for heat pump, dual fuel, two-stage and variable-speed systems
- C-wire added or adapter installed
- Schedules tuned for PG&E time-of-use pricing
- Remote sensors for rooms that run hot or cold
- App, Wi-Fi and filter reminders
Time-of-use savings
Most PG&E residential plans charge more in the late afternoon and evening. A smart thermostat can pre-cool your home earlier in the afternoon so the AC coasts through the expensive window. With a heat pump, the same logic applies to heating.
