What is in your ecobee box changes the visit
ecobee sells several models, and what comes in the box decides whether the C-wire step is needed. ecobee says every current model except the Smart Thermostat Essential and the Lite includes the Power Extender Kit, which lets an ecobee run on a home with no C-wire. Only the Premium lists a SmartSensor in the box. Tell us your model when you text.
| Model | Power Extender Kit in box | SmartSensor in box | ecobee.ca list price | Total with Pixl install, C-wire present | Total if the adapter step is needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Thermostat Premium | Yes | Yes | $329.99 | $458.99 | $508.99 |
| Smart Thermostat Enhanced | Yes | No | $249.99 | $378.99 | $428.99 |
| Smart Thermostat Essential | No | No | $179.99 | $308.99 | $358.99, plus the kit bought separately |
List prices as shown on ecobee.ca on October 31, 2026. Stores run sales and tax is extra. Totals are a planning estimate: list price + $129, plus $50 for the adapter step.

Does your system need the C-wire step?
Take a photo of the wires behind your current thermostat with the cover off. The labels tell us the path before we book. ecobee says its Power Extender Kit works only on 24 VAC systems, and it lists millivolt, high-voltage, dual-transformer, fan-coil and communicating systems as incompatible with the kit.
| What you see | Likely path | Pixl price |
|---|---|---|
| A wire on the C terminal | Standard install | $129 |
| R, W, Y and G wires with nothing on C | Power Extender Kit or another C-wire adapter | $129 + $50 = $179 |
| Two thick wires joined with wire nuts, or 120 V or 240 V printed on the thermostat | Line voltage. ecobee is not compatible | Not an ecobee job. Ask for a quote |
| A wire marked O/B | Heat pump. Check ecobee’s compatibility checker first | $129, and the visit may run longer |
| A condo fan coil or a zone panel | Check ecobee’s compatibility checker and your building’s rules | Send a photo for a fixed price |
For how to check the wires yourself, read the C wire thermostat guide and thermostat wiring explained.

ecobee installation: frequently asked questions
How much does ecobee installation cost in Canada?
The Pixl price is $129 before tax, which includes WiFi and app setup. The C-wire adapter step adds $50 only when your wiring needs it, and new wiring to the thermostat is a free quote. Payment is after the job.
Do I need a C-wire for an ecobee?
Not always. ecobee says every current model except the Essential and the Lite includes a Power Extender Kit for homes with no C-wire. Send a photo of your wires and we confirm whether the $50 adapter step applies before you book.
Will an ecobee work with my heat pump?
Often yes, if the wiring supports it. Heat pumps use an O/B wire, so run ecobee’s compatibility checker before you buy and send us a photo of the wires. A heat pump can take longer than the usual 30 to 90 minutes.
Can you install an ecobee on electric baseboard heat?
No. Electric baseboard heaters run on 120 or 240 V, and ecobee lists line-voltage systems as not compatible. A line-voltage thermostat is electrical work, so ask us for a quote and see our baseboard thermostat guide.
Do you set up the ecobee SmartSensor?
Tell us how many sensors came with your ecobee when you text. We confirm what the visit covers before you book, so there is no surprise on the day.
