Do you need a C-wire for a smart thermostat?
Most smart thermostats, including ecobee and many Nest models, need a C-wire (common wire) for steady power. Many older Canadian furnaces only have 2 to 4 thermostat wires and no C-wire. When that happens, we install the power adapter that comes with the thermostat or run a new wire.
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| A wire on the C terminal | You likely have a C-wire, and the install is the standard $129. |
| Only 2 to 4 wires and nothing on C | You may need a C-wire adapter, which adds $50. |
| Thick wires joined with wire nuts | You may have a line-voltage thermostat for electric baseboards. This is electrical work, so ask for a quote. |
