Compatibility comes before features
A thermostat must work with the equipment it controls. Our technicians work with everything from simple on/off controls to communicating zoned systems, so the right starting point is your existing setup.
Your equipment
Confirm the heating and cooling stages, heat-pump backup heat and any zoning or communicating controls. Some systems need a manufacturer-specific control to support their functions.
Wiring and power
Check the thermostat’s voltage and power requirements. A C wire or compatible power accessory may be needed. A control designed for 24 V wiring is not a direct replacement for a 120 V or 240 V thermostat.
Everyday use
Compare the controls you need, such as scheduling or app access, on the specific model. Features and supported apps vary, and remote access requires the appropriate connection.
Ask us to check compatibility before purchasing a thermostat, particularly for a heat pump, dual-fuel system or communicating equipment.
Setup you can use
With our smart thermostat installation package, use your included 30 minutes of training to review everyday adjustments, Wi-Fi connection and schedule settings. For a heat pump, ask about recovery from a lower temperature setting: a large change can bring on supplemental heat and reduce expected savings.
Service for an existing thermostat
Already have a thermostat that needs attention? AirZone offers thermostat service and repairs. Ask our office about a maintenance check that includes thermostat calibration and system testing.
When you contact us, have the thermostat model and your heating and cooling equipment details handy, along with a description of the issue.
Thermostat questions, answered
What types of thermostats do you install?
We supply and install thermostats for compatible furnaces, central air conditioners and heat pumps. Brands include Google Nest, ecobee, Honeywell, Lennox, Rheem and Bryant. AirZone-supplied thermostats are sold with installation; we do not offer retail-only thermostat sales. We can also install compatible customer-supplied thermostats, as explained below.
What is a smart thermostat?
A smart thermostat adds connected features to temperature control, such as scheduling and remote access through a supported app. Features vary by model. Choose a thermostat that works with your HVAC equipment and offers the controls you will use; a Wi-Fi connection alone does not establish system compatibility.
What is the ideal temperature to set my thermostat at?
There is no single setting that suits every household, season and heating system. Start with a temperature you find comfortable and use settings appropriate for your equipment. During setup, ask about a practical home, away and overnight schedule, especially if your home has a heat pump.
Will you install a thermostat I purchased elsewhere?
Yes. We can install a compatible thermostat purchased elsewhere, but AirZone does not provide a warranty on the third-party product. When we supply and install a thermostat, we can help with manufacturer support. The one-year labour warranty listed with our installation service is separate from product warranty; confirm the applicable terms for your installation when requesting a quote.
Should I use a schedule on my thermostat?
A schedule can match temperature settings to your routine, but the right approach depends on your equipment. With a heat pump, a large setback can bring on supplemental heat during recovery and reduce expected savings. Ask about a steady setting or a modest schedule suited to your system.
Should I lower the temperature at night?
Choose an overnight setting around your comfort and your heating system. There is no universal sleep temperature or guaranteed energy saving. For a heat pump, avoid a large overnight drop unless your installer has confirmed an appropriate setback and recovery strategy for that system.
Do smart thermostats work with all HVAC systems?
No. Compatibility depends on voltage, control wiring, heating and cooling stages, and any heat-pump backup heat or communicating controls. Some models require a C wire or a compatible power accessory. AirZone checks the system before installation; confirm compatibility before buying a thermostat.
Can I control my thermostat remotely while I'm away?
Supported Wi-Fi models can offer remote control through the manufacturer’s app, with the required account and network connection. App support and available features depend on the model. Check the current requirements for your thermostat rather than assuming every smart thermostat has the same remote functions.
Is thermostat installation available in my area?
AirZone supplies and installs thermostats across Ottawa, including Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orléans, Gloucester and Cumberland. Contact us to confirm service for your address.
Do I need a smart thermostat with a new furnace or heat pump?
Not automatically. The correct control depends on the new equipment and the features you want to use. Some systems support conventional controls; others have specific manufacturer control requirements. Have the thermostat assessed with the furnace or heat pump so its stages, backup heat and any communicating functions are supported.
