Thermostat Installation Technical Guide for Southern Highlands
Choosing the Right Thermostat for Your System
Not all thermostats work with all HVAC systems. Before recommending a thermostat, we verify your system type (conventional AC, heat pump, dual-fuel, multi-zone), wiring availability (C-wire, O/B wire, auxiliary heat wires), and whether your system uses communicating protocols that require proprietary thermostats. A mismatched thermostat can cause system damage — for example, installing a conventional thermostat on a heat pump system may energize both heating and cooling simultaneously.
Installation Considerations
- C-wire requirements — Smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell Home) need a common wire (C-wire) for continuous power. Many older Las Vegas homes only have 4-wire thermostat cable. We can run new wiring or install a C-wire adapter to enable smart thermostat compatibility.
- Placement matters — The thermostat should be on an interior wall, 52-60 inches from the floor, away from direct sunlight, supply registers, kitchen heat, and exterior doors. Poor placement causes ghost readings that make the system cycle incorrectly.
- Zoning compatibility — Multi-zone systems require zone-compatible thermostats and a zone control board. Each zone gets its own thermostat, and the control board manages dampers to direct airflow where it's needed.
- Wi-Fi and automation — Smart thermostats enable scheduling, geofencing (auto-away when you leave), and energy usage tracking. In Las Vegas, smart scheduling that pre-cools during off-peak electric rates (typically before 1 PM) can reduce summer electric bills by 10-15%.
