Types Of Thermostats We Install

The right thermostat depends on your heating and cooling equipment, the features you want, and how you use your home. Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air, & Electric installs a variety of thermostat options and can help you choose a model that’s compatible with your HVAC system.

  • Smart thermostats provide Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile app control, programmable schedules, energy reports, and integration with many smart home platforms.

  • Programmable thermostats automatically adjust temperatures throughout the day based on a schedule you create, helping improve comfort and energy efficiency.

  • Wi-Fi thermostats allow you to monitor and adjust your home’s temperature remotely without the advanced automation features found in some smart thermostats.

  • Heat pump thermostats are designed to manage heating, cooling, and auxiliary heat functions for compatible heat pump systems.

  • Multi-stage thermostats support HVAC systems with multiple heating or cooling stages, helping maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and efficient operation.

What’s Included In Our Thermostat Installation Process

Every thermostat installation begins with making sure the new control is compatible with your home’s heating and cooling equipment. Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air, & Electric installs and configures thermostats for a wide range of HVAC systems, then tests the installation to confirm everything communicates properly for reliable, efficient operation.

Thermostat Selection And Compatibility

Choosing the right thermostat depends on more than the features you want. Our technicians evaluate your existing HVAC equipment and recommend a thermostat that’s compatible with your furnace, boiler, heat pump, or central air conditioner. If you’re replacing your heating or cooling system, we can also install a thermostat designed to work with your new equipment.

Professional Thermostat Installation

We safely remove your existing thermostat, connect the new wiring, mount the new unit, and configure all required settings. Every installation is completed according to manufacturer specifications so your heating and cooling system responds accurately to temperature changes.

Smart Thermostat Configuration

Smart thermostats offer features such as programmable schedules, remote access, energy usage reports, and voice assistant compatibility. We’ll connect your thermostat to your home’s Wi-Fi network, configure the mobile app, and show you how to adjust settings that fit your schedule and comfort preferences.

System Testing And Performance Verification

Before we finish, we test your thermostat in both heating and cooling modes to verify accurate temperature readings and proper communication with your HVAC equipment. If testing reveals an issue with your furnace, heat pump, boiler, or air conditioner, our technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repair so your new thermostat performs as intended.

Why An Updated Thermostat Matters

Your thermostat controls every heating and cooling cycle, making it one of the most important parts of your HVAC system. An outdated or faulty thermostat can cause uneven temperatures, short cycling, higher energy bills, and unnecessary wear on your equipment. Upgrading to a modern thermostat provides more accurate temperature control, helping your system run more efficiently and maintain consistent comfort throughout your home. Many programmable and smart thermostats also offer scheduling, Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile app control, and energy usage reports for added convenience.

Fantastic work by Harris and the service we received (thanks again Tom!). It was easy to schedule online and received a window for the very next morning. Got a call that he was on his way during the window and got to work right away investigating the issue and outlining a few different options. No pressure or hype like you expect nowadays. Tom did a great job from start to finish and we have confidence that what we had done will last for decades to come. But just in case he gave us his number should anything arise. Couldn’t be happier.

My service today was exemplary!! Micah Called within about 20 minutes of my call to Harris. He was at my house within A half hour. He thought it was going to be a simple fix, and it turned out not to be and his thoughtfulness to my problem got it solved. I will always ask for Micah if I ever have another plumbing problem! As always, we appreciate you guys and the young men you have on your workforce.

Very Satisfied with the work on the generator and electric panel...just wish I knew I was getting a 25 year warranty that i was told and not a 5 year warranty that I found out I was getting and I was told that I was also getting a battery heater, oil heater later after the install i found out these two heaters were not included in the price.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Warren’s outstanding service. The technician did an excellent job fixing the electrical issue in my basement, and his customer service was superb. He was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous throughout the process.

It’s refreshing to receive service from someone who takes pride in their work and ensures the customer is satisfied. He is truly an asset to your team, and I wanted to take a moment to recognize his exceptional service. Thank you for a job well done!

Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical will be my go to for all my plumbing, heating air and electrical needs from now on! I called them last week about 2 separate issues, 1 needing an electrician and 1 needing an HVAC specialist and one was able to come that same day and the other came the next day. Everyone we had contact with including the schedulers and dispatchers on the phone to the technicians that came out to do the estimates and work were all very professional, respectful, and knowledgeable in their fields. They all performed quality work and listened to any concerns and questions we had and took the time to explain things in an easy to understand way. We had to install a new HVAC system and have all parts and labor covered for 12 years just by using Harris. We will definitely be using them in the future for any issues that arise and we recommend that you do too!
