Smart thermostat installation in Toronto and the GTA. A smart thermostat is only as good as its setup. Most problems we fix come from the wrong wiring or wrong system settings: a heat pump running on expensive backup heat, a hybrid system that never switches to the furnace, or a boiler thermostat wired for a fan it does not have. Bison Air installs ecobee, Nest, Honeywell and other Wi-Fi and programmable thermostats and configures them for your exact system.
- ✓ ecobee, Nest and Honeywell
- ✓ Heat pump and hybrid setup done right
- ✓ C-wire added when needed
- ✓ Boilers, furnaces, ductless

Thermostats Installed by Bison Air
⚙️ Setup Matters Most With These Systems
| System | What has to be set correctly |
|---|---|
| Central heat pump | Reversing valve setting, auxiliary heat lockout temperature so electric backup is not used too early |
| Hybrid (heat pump plus gas furnace) | Balance point where it switches from heat pump to furnace; never both at once. See hybrid heat pumps |
| Gas furnace | Fan control, stages, and C-wire for power |
| Boiler | Usually heat-only, 2-wire; some need a power adapter for a smart thermostat |
| Ductless heat pump | Most use the manufacturer's wired controller or Wi-Fi adapter rather than a standard thermostat |
| Humidifier or HRV | Many smart thermostats can control these too, if wired for it |
🔌 The C-Wire
Smart thermostats need constant power, supplied by a common (C) wire. Many older homes do not have one. We add a C-wire or a power adapter at the furnace so the thermostat does not drain its battery or drop off Wi-Fi.
