The steps in this section will help you decide which install guide you’ll use to complete the installation.
Installation
STEP 1 Look for your master switch or circuit breaker box in the basement, attic, utility closet, or behind a wall panel near the thermostat. Power off your Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system by using the master switch or circuit breaker box. This is important for your safety.
STEP 2 Confirm your system is off by turning on your heat (during winter) or your AC (during summer). Wait a few minutes – you should not feel air coming from your vents
STEP 3 Remove your old thermostat cover from the wall
STEP 4 Take a picture of the wires connected to the terminals of your old thermostat. You may need to reference this photo later on.
STEP 5 Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided.
STEP 6 Unscrew the mounting plate of your old thermostat to remove it from the wall
STEP 7 Decide if you want to use the trim plate with your ecobee. The trim plate is useful if you want to hide marks or holes left on the wall by your old thermostat.
STEP 8: If using the trim plate, align the mounting holes on the trim plate and backplate and press them into place together.
STEP 9 Pull the wires through the hole in the middle of the backplate and then attach the backplate to the wall using the drywall anchors and screws provided.
STEP 10 Insert your remaining wires into the side (not the front) of their corresponding terminal blocks.
STEP 11 Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected
STEP 12 Carefully push any excess wire back into the hole and ensure there are no drafts coming from the hole(s) in the wall.
STEP 13 Gently press your ecobee thermostat into the backplate until it ‘clicks’ into place.
STEP 14 Turn the power to your HVAC system back on using the master switch or at the circuit breaker box.
STEP 15 Say hi to your new ecobee! The screen will power on and guide you through the set-up and registration
Does your old thermostat’s backplate have any of these indicators?
Do you have a C wire connected to your old thermostat?
Have you completed steps 1 – 4 in the ‘Start Your Install’ section?
Guidance
Install your ecobee with a C wire
If you have a C wire, it will power your ecobee. You won’t need the Power Extender Kit included in the box.
Do you have more than one R wire? (That includes R, Rc, and Rh)
Congratulations, you did it!
To complete your set-up, follow the instructions on your ecobee screen
Install your ecobee without a C wire
If you don’t have a C wire, you’ll need to use the Power Extender Kit (PEK) included to reliably power your ecobee.
Have you completed steps 1 – 4 in the ‘Start Your Install’ section?
3 OR 4 WIRES
The Power Extender Kit requires your system to have the following wires: 4 wires:
- W/W1, Y/Y1, G and R (or Rc or Rh)
- 3 wires: Y/Y1, G and R (or Rc or Rh)
Do you have these wires?
STEP 5 Take your Power Extender Kit, wire labels, tools, your smart phone, and go to your HVAC system.
STEP 6 Open your HVAC system’s cover to reveal the control board.
STEP 7 Take a picture of the wires connected to your control board. You may need to reference this photo later on.
STEP 8 Label only the R, Y or Y1, G and W or W1 wires with the matching labels provided. If you have more than one wire going into these terminals, only label those coming from your thermostat.
STEP 9 Disconnect the labeled R, Y, G and W wires from the control board.
STEP 10 Connect the wires you disconnected from the control board into their matching gray terminal blocks on the Power Extender Kit.
STEP 11 Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected
STEP 12 Connect the 5 white wires coming out of the Power Extender Kit to the corresponding terminals on your control board.
STEP 13 Mount the Power Extender Kit inside your HVAC system, taking care not to strain the wires. Close the HVAC cover panel securely and return to your thermostat.
STEP 14 Back at your thermostat: Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided.
STEP 15 Unscrew the mounting plate of your old thermostat to remove it from the wall.
STEP 16 Decide if you want to use the trim plate with your ecobee. The trim plate is useful if you want to hide marks or holes on the wall left by your old thermostat
STEP 17 If using the trim plate, align the mounting holes on the trim plate and backplate and press them into place together
STEP 18 Pull the wires through the hole in the middle of the backplate and then attach it to the wall using the drywall anchors and screws provided
STEP 19 First, connect these 3 wires as shown:
Then, connect any remaining wires to their corresponding terminal
STEP 20 Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected.
STEP 21 Carefully push any excess wires back into the hole and ensure there are no drafts coming from the hole(s) in the wall
STEP 22 Gently press your ecobee thermostat into the backplate until it ‘clicks’ into place
STEP 23 Turn the power to your HVAC system back on using the master switch or at the circuit breaker box.
STEP 24 Say hi to your new ecobee! The screen will power on and guide you through the set-up and registration.
POWER EXTENDER KIT
Check that you have installed the Power Extender Kit correctly. It should be installed between your thermostat wiring and your control board.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your ecobee doesn’t turn on, please try these steps:
- Check that all wires are properly inserted into the terminal blocks at the thermostat. Tug on the wires to ensure they are not loose.
- Make sure your HVAC cover panel is closed. Some systems will not turn on if the cover panel has not been closed properly.
- If you have only one R wire (either R, RC , or RH), make sure it’s inserted into the Rc terminal R (or RC or RH) RC
- If you installed the Power Extender Kit, make sure you inserted the wires into the correct terminals
