Can I replace my thermostat myself without professional help?
You can replace a basic thermostat yourself, but use a pro for heat pumps, multi-stage setups, or Wi‑Fi upgrades. Wrong wiring can damage equipment. Emerald installs and replaces thermostats in Depew and nearby, then tests accuracy and recalibrates if needed. Rebates or free Wi‑Fi upgrades may apply with qualifying new systems.
- Turn off HVAC power at the breaker.
- Label each low‑voltage wire before removal.
- Confirm a C‑wire for Wi‑Fi models.
- Mount the base, attach wires, set type.
- Restore power and test heating and cooling.
