Everything You Need to Know for Your DIY Smart Thermostat Installation
On paper, a smart thermostat sounds like a great deal -- offering potential savings while making home heating and cooling easier to manage through AI and remote sensors. In practice, a worry frequently arises: Can you install it yourself or do you need to hire a pro? Fortunately, our CNET experts have spent years installing thermostats and coaching others through the process. While it's a bit more involved than wiring a video doorbell, most homeowners can still tackle it themselves. All you need is a screwdriver, your phone, a little time -- and a guide like ours. When I reached out to the nonprofit Energy Trust of Oregon, it gave me a few pointers on how to get started. "You'll want to make sure the model is compatible with your heating and cooling system," a spokesperson said. "That's really important, especially if you have what's known as a multi-stage system or one that lets you adjust the amount of air blowing into your home with settings like low, medium and high." Once you're ready, we have the details on how this works, plus the nuts and bolts of the installation itself. Here's what to do -- and options if you'd rather not bother. Read more: Best Smart Thermostats: Tested and Reviewed in 2025 Check compatibility before you buy a smart thermostat Smart thermostats do have some wiring needs but most should be compatible with your home. Nest In addition to checking if you have a multi-stage climate system, there are a few other important compatibility checks that you need to make before you click the buy button on a new thermostat. You must install smart thermostats in the same location as your old thermostat and the wiring there comes with requirements that can vary a bit from home to home. Pay close attention to: Whether the thermostat needs a C-wire : The C or common wire (usually clearly labeled) is a low-voltage wire that can provide power to a thermostat. Some thermostats require a C-wire to work. Others, like the Nest Learning Thermostat, don't need a C-wire. Learn if your thermostat pick needs one and if your home has one. Sometimes, you can install an adapter (Ecobee models even offer a kit for this) to overcome this problem but that's a higher level of electrical work. : The C or common wire (usually clearly labeled) is a low-voltage wire that can provide power to a thermostat.

Whether the thermostat needs to connect to high-voltage wiring : Some thermostats need to control high-voltage appliances, notably large electric heaters. But the average smart thermostat can't handle high-voltage current. If you have big electric baseboards or an electric furnace, your home may not be ready for a smart thermostat. Thermostats are usually labeled 120V or higher, or have L1/L2 contact points if they're high voltage. : Some thermostats need to control high-voltage appliances, notably large electric heaters.

Thermostats are usually labeled 120V or higher, or have L1/L2 contact points if they're high voltage. Whether the thermostat has stranded wires: Some smart thermostats, like Nest's, don't support stranded wire connections, which are typically rare. Companies do offer online compatibility checks to help with this process. You'll probably have to detach your old thermostat and take a look at the wiring to know for certain -- but that's good practice. Unbox your new thermostat and dismount your old model Man takes cover off thermostat on wall. Alina Kostrytsia via Getty Examine the pieces of your new thermostat. You should have a mounting plate, which screws to the wall, and the thermostat face, which attaches to the mounting plate (other accessories can vary). Pay special attention to the mounting plate contact points, which is where you'll be connecting the wires. Disconnect the power to the thermostat at your breaker box. Breakers are usually labeled with heating/cooling/HVAC labels, which should include your thermostat, so shut all these off. If your temperature has manual controls, adjust them to force the system to turn on, and wait a few minutes to see if it does (it should not). You want to make certain that every wire in the thermostat is dead before you continue. If you haven't already disconnected your old thermostat from the wall, detach the cover gently. Leave the wires connected to contacts -- do not remove them at this time! Photograph and document your wiring before disconnecting In-depth instructions help guide newcomers through the installation process, as long as they're comfortable with some wires. Google Nest Use your phone or get a friend to help and take a photo of the wiring in the old thermostat's contacts, with names like Y1, G, AQ-/+, W1, and so on. Make sure the photo has a clear view of the contacts and their labels (you can take more than one). You can also label individual wires with bits of tape but this is more time consuming and usually recommended if you have wires that are the same colors, or you're colorblind and prefer to tag the wires. Good news -- many smart thermostat kits also come with little sticky labels you can use for this purpose. Unscrew and remove the old thermostat and screw in the new mounting plate Installing an Ecobee thermostat plate on a wall with wires in the center Ecobee Disconnect the wires (some use screw contacts, others use tabs), then unscrew the old mounting plate entirely (if necessary), and remove the old thermostat entirely. Guide all the wires through the central hole of the new thermostat mounting place, and screw the plate in using its screws. Use a screwdriver, not a drill. At this point, you may want to bring out a lever and make sure the thermostat is level before you screw it all the way in. You may have to drill new holes in the wall but smart thermostat companies design their mounting to fit in standard thermostat gaps so this isn't often a problem. If you do need to drill holes, use a stud finder with wire-sensing technology to search the gap, so you don't drill into any of the thermostat's wires. Reconnect the wires to the correct contacts and mount the thermostat Google's app instructions side by side with organizing Nest thermostat wires. Google Nest With the mounting plate screwed in, you are ready to connect the wires to the proper contacts. Consult the photos you took or your tags, putting each wire color into the proper contact and making sure it is fully connected. If the wires are especially tangled, organize them a bit before connecting. Sometimes wires will have different labels than the new contact points: Here's a guide on what wire names mean and another handy guide on which slot wires go into if labels don't quite match. Your wires shouldn't usually require stripping or other maintenance but if they're in poor condition (cracked, badly split, etc.) you may want to clip and strip with a pair of pliers before this step. With all wires in the right contact points, connect the thermostat face to the mounting plate. The thermostat should lock in place so it's fully connected on all sides to the plate. Connect the new thermostat to Wi-Fi to start the setup The Google Home app allows you to adjust temps, schedules and wireless sensors. Tyler Lacoma/CNET With the hard work done, turn your power back on and power up the thermostat with a touch or twist so it powers on. Head to your app and continue the setup procedure, inputting your Wi-Fi password when directed. Your thermostat will probably have to apply a few firmware updates at this time. Now you're ready to start exploring thermostat features, setting new schedules and choosing settings to help it learn your habits and start saving money. Important note: The new thermostat may be a different size than the old thermostat, which means it may leave unpainted or unaged wall marks behind when you're done. You can usually fix this with a bit of house paint or by using a thermostat trim kit that matches your wall well. What if I'm not interested in installing my thermostat myself? You don't have to -- smart thermostats make it very simple to connect with a local electrician at the time of purchase and arrange an installation date, all at once. It can cost up to $200 on average, depending largely on your location. If you want to save, look around for deals on a professional installation. Your local electricians may offer these deals in certain seasons. I've also seen some brands, like Nest, offer a free installation with the purchase of a new model.

Dollar Tree's secret price warning: Look for this red flag
Once upon a time, when you went to Dollar Tree, every item in the store cost $1. In fact, that's where Dollar Tree got its name. Of course, things have not been that way for quite a long time. In November of 2021, Dollar Tree raised prices to $1.25. This doesn't sound like a big increase, but it was a 25% price hike that adds up for price-conscious consumers – especially given that it happened during the inflation surge in the post-Covid era, when people were already struggling to afford the basics. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Dollar Tree then decided to add in some items that were priced higher, at either $3 or $5. Since those made up only a small portion of the store and were generally better-quality items than many of the $1.25 goods, this wasn't a huge deal. Unfortunately, however, widespread price increases will be happening again, with many current items about to cost $1.50 instead of $1.25. Shoppers need to be aware that prices are rising, and must be sure to note this red flag, which suggests a particular item will soon jump in price. If you are in a Dollar Tree and you see an item that has a red sticker on it, you need to be aware that this red sticker is actually a red flag of a price increase coming to that particular item. Numerous shoppers have reported seeing Dollar Tree employees covering up the existing prices on specific items with red stickers. This included things like knives, spatulas, home goods, cleaning gloves, and reading glasses. Related: Dollar Tree's new pricing strategy sparks customer fury Items adorned with the new red sticker were still ringing up at $1.25 for some shoppers. However, according to Business Insider, a Dollar Tree employee said items with red tags would soon ring up at $1.50. The stickers are an attempt on the part of store employees to get things ready for the upcoming price change to $1.50, which will be applied to many products in the store. In fact, some TikTok users said they saw signs hanging up in their Dollar Tree stores that expressly stated any item with a red sticker would now cost $1.50 instead of $1.25. Dollar Tree's red stickers are definitely something that you need to look out for when you are shopping, as you don't want to be surprised when your item rings up for more than the anticipated $1.25. Related: Costco adds strict new policy for free samples If you spot a red-stickered item now, you'll have to find out if your store has actually made the change to the higher price point already, or if it is just gettingready for the price change. You can ask a store employee to check the price so you don't pay more than expected. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers As prices go up, you'll also want to make sure you are comparing Dollar Tree prices with the cost of the same items at Costco and your local grocery store, since Dollar Tree may soon no longer be the bargain it used to be.

Stocks get hit as economic clouds and tariffs gather — but history suggests it's too soon to panic
Tariff threats from President Donald Trump and fresh signs of a weakening jobs market rattled Wall Street investors on Friday — just as the market enters a historically rocky stretch from August to October. But some investors say this isn't a moment to panic. The stock market, they note, has repeatedly shaken off trade fears in recent months and powered higher. Is this time different? Read: August is historically a bad month for Big Tech stocks. What to expect this year. 'I worked at 14, had an 8.8% mortgage rate and drove used cars': Did boomers really have it easier than millennials? Older adults on 'edge of poverty' lose jobs and funding as new Medicaid and SNAP work requirements loom 'I told him that wouldn't fly': My 90-year-old mother's adviser pushed her to change her beneficiaries. What is going on? 'I have never been asked for money before': My friend wants to borrow $1,600 to pay her rent. Do I say yes? Bonds and the dollar are sounding the alarm about the U.S. economy. Stock investors might want to heed the warning. Despite registering steep losses on Friday—the biggest one-day declines in more than three months—the S&P 500 SPX remains up 25% from its April 8th low, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP has jumped 35% from its 'liberation day' nadir. Trump's latest move — a Thursday deadline for new trade agreements — threatens higher tariffs on more than a dozen countries, including Switzerland. See also: Trump hits dozens more countries with higher tariffs that start Aug. 7'Every dip has its day,' said Eric Diton, president and managing director of The Wealth Alliance in Melville, N.Y., an investment advisory firm that oversees $2.1 billion. He sees the market's resilience continuing unless earnings weaken, inflation picks up, or the unemployment rate rises tensions are resurfacing at the same time the U.S. labor market is showing cracks. Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for July included a weaker-than-expected job gain of 73,000 and big reductions to previous months data. On top of that, the unemployment rate came in at 4.2%, as expected, but up from 4.1% previously. The weak jobs report has strengthened expectations for a September interest-rate cut. On Friday, two Federal Reserve governors — Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller — voiced renewed concerns about the labor market, reinforcing their dissent earlier this week when they broke from the majority and backed a cut to benchmark rates. Other recent data painted a mixed picture: GDP rebounded in Q2, but the surge was skewed by front-loaded imports tied to tariff fears. Meanwhile, inflation saw its biggest monthly increase since February, though markets largely shrugged that report off. The U.S. economy has so far skirted a recession, even after more than 500 basis points — or 5 percentage points — of Fed rate hikes in 2022 and 2023. CIBC's Gary Pzegeo said the economy was better positioned this cycle, with businesses refinancing and consumers buoyed by post-COVID stimulus and hiring. 'We are able to absorb more than we could in other cycles,' said the co-chief investment officer at CIBC Private Wealth in Boston, which looks after more than $100 billion in assets. What CIBC Private Wealth is watching from here is whether companies beyond the technology sector can make further commitments to capital spending, Pzegeo told MarketWatch. Large tech companies such as Microsoft Corp. MSFT and Meta Platforms Inc. META reported earnings results late in July and sent their shares soaring, lending further support to the idea that the recent stock-market rally might have more room to rise, despite Friday's swoon. See also: Microsoft's stock surges after earnings and Meta's growth strikes Wall Street as incomprehensibly strong, and the stock rockets Some of the biggest names set to release reports in the week ahead are Walt Disney Co. DIS and McDonald's Corp. MCD. Later in the month, attention is likely to turn to the Fed's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., between Aug. 21-23, where Chair Jerome Powell is expected to speak — offering another potential trading tariff anxieties and a labor market weaker than previously thought could produce a rocky stretch of trading that investors shouldn't dismiss. That said, relatively easier Fed policy and Trump's tactical approach to tariffs could also mean that stock-market investors might still be inclined to buy risky assets and shrug off their worries. For bonds, the outlook may be a bit more nuanced. There may come a time when bond-market participants might demand higher yields if the U.S. hasn't made any progress in lowering the government's debt and deficit, 'but we are not there yet,' said Diton of The Wealth Alliance said via phone. 'What matters most in the end is that we constructively make trading deals around the world,' he said. History shows that August often brings turbulence for U.S. stocks. The Nasdaq Composite, for example, has averaged a gain of just 0.3% during the month, while September tends to be worse. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA and S&P 500 have both posted average losses of 1.1% for that month, while the Nasdaq has lost 0.9% and the small-cap Russell 2000 RUT has lost 0.6%, according to Dow Jones Market Data. October has a slightly better record, though small-cap stocks tend to lose an average of 0.6%. Until Thursday, when Trump announced steeper tariffs on more than a dozen countries, investors appeared to have moved past their worst stagflation fears — by sending the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to record closing highs on July 28, and keeping long-dated Treasury yields mostly rangebound. But Friday's opened old wounds — reminders that tariffs and labor market unease still have the power to disrupt. Some investors remain optimistic that the current volatility could ease if trade rhetoric cools and economic data holds up. An easier Fed policy path, paired with Trump's tendency to use tariff threats as bargaining chips, could still support stock gains. The bond-market outlook, as noted earlier, is complicated. Tariffs could stir short-term inflation while dragging on long-term growth. At the same time, they may boost government revenue — a possible offset to the concern of rising deficits tied to Trump's tax and spending plan. 'The worst-case scenarios that everyone imagined back in April have turned into something not so bad, but also not so great so we have to be careful about how much optimism gets priced into the market,' said CIBC's Pzegeo. Tariffs 'have to be absorbed somewhere. And right now they are being partially borne by exporters, partially absorbed by domestic sellers and partially absorbed by consumers.' Friday's jobs data also delivered a jolt, with surprise downward revisions for May and June. 'You can get pretty rapid shifts in payrolls from month to month' and Friday's revisions were 'a little startling,' said Pzegeo. Still, 'labor markets are roughly in balance' and pointing to a 'non-recession' scenario. 'The market is swinging back into the camp of expecting a rate cut in September,' he said. 'And rightfully so. The bond market will look through the inflation risk and price in an easier Fed — which should help risky assets, including equities, later in the year.'
