Smart Thermostat Installation Near Brea, California
Comfort you can control from your phone — set up right the first time.
Modern thermostats can do much more than hold a temperature. We ensure your device is compatible, wired correctly, and configured for your HVAC (including heat pumps, dual-fuel, two-stage/variable-speed, and many mini-splits with compatible adapters).
What’s Included with Service Lion
- Compatibility & wiring audit (identify C-wire needs, staging, O/B reversing valve, accessories)
- Clean install: new base, level mount, low-voltage wiring landed to spec

- Comfort setup: schedules, geofencing/eco, reminders, alerts
- Verification: cycle test heat, cool, fan; confirm correct reversing valve operation
Bringing your own thermostat (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell Home, etc.)? We’ll install homeowner-supplied devices and note any adapters/parts required.
Compatible Systems We Frequently Set Up
- Conventional AC + gas furnace (single/two-stage, variable blower)
- Heat pumps with or without aux/electric heat
- Dual-fuel (heat pump + gas furnace; set outdoor lockout)
- Ductless/mini-split systems (when the brand supports a wall thermostat or adapter)
- Accessories: humidifier/dehumidifier, ventilation/ERV/HRV (model-dependent)
Do I Need a C-Wire?
Most smart thermostats require constant power. If you don’t have a C-wire, we’ll install a power extender kit or pull a new conductor when feasible. We’ll choose the cleanest, most reliable option for your home.
Tips for Best Comfort & Savings
- Use geofencing or simple wake/away/sleep schedules you’ll actually follow
- Enable filter reminders and replace filters on schedule
- Keep 2–3 ft clear around indoor returns and outdoor equipment

Smart Thermostat FAQs
Will a smart thermostat work with my heat pump/dual-fuel system?
Yes — with proper configuration (reversing valve O/B, aux heat staging, outdoor lockouts). We handle that for you.
I don’t have a C-wire. Can you still install it?
Usually yes. We can use a power extender kit or pull a new wire for reliable power.
Do smart thermostats actually save money?
They can. Savings come from consistent schedules, eco set-backs, and occupancy features. We’ll set it up for realistic, everyday use.
Can you integrate it with my voice assistant/smart home?
We’ll help pair and verify supported integrations on popular platforms during the visit.
Will it control humidity or ventilation?
Some models can manage dehumidification/humidification and ERV/HRV equipment. We’ll confirm your model’s capabilities and wiring.
Can you install the thermostat I already bought?
Yes. We install homeowner-supplied devices and provide any needed adapters for a clean, code-compliant finish.
