In Colorado Springs, you can have a smart thermostat installed by professional technicians or by performing a do-it-yourself installation.
Professional Installation: Mitchell Heating is a local provider with 17 years of experience serving the Pikes Peak region. They employ NATE-certified technicians who handle the entire process, including:
- Initial consultation and model selection (such as Nest, Ecobee, or Honeywell).
- Professional wiring and system calibration.
- Application setup and final configuration for remote control.
- Integration with specialized HVAC systems like Trane models.
DIY Installation: Homeowners can also choose to install the device themselves by following specific safety and technical steps, provided they have the necessary tools like a screwdriver set, wire strippers, and a drill. This involves turning off the power, labeling wires, mounting the base plate, and connecting the wiring according to the manufacturer’s diagram.
Professional setup through Mitchell Heating typically costs between $150 and $300, excluding the price of the device, but ensures warranty compliance and proper calibration for the local high-altitude climate.
