WHAT IS IN THE  BOX

First things first.
Here’s what you’ll find in the box.

TOOLS REQUIRED

You’ll also need these tools:

INSTALLATION

The steps in this section will help you decide which install guide you’ll use to complete the installation.

1. STEP 1
   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.
   TIP Look for your master switch or circuit breaker box in the basement, attic, utility closet, or behind a wall panel near the thermostat.
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.
   TIP If you have a boiler, check to see that the main flame is extinguished.
3. STEP 3
   Remove your old thermostat cover from the wall.
   TIP Many thermostats simply pop off or unclip from the base, while others may have screws that you will need to remove.

CHECKPOINT: COMPATIBILITY

Does your old thermostat’s backplate have any of these indicators?

1. 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.
   WARNING ecobee4 is designed for 24VAC with a 2A maximum current. Do not connect it to line (high) voltage or millivolt systems.

CHECKPOINT: C WIRE

Do you have a C wire connected to your old thermostat?

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.

CHECKPOINT: DON’T SKIP AHEAD
Have you completed steps 1–4 in the ‘Start Your Install’ section?

1. STEP 5
   Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided.
   
   • TIP 1 If you have a jumper between Rc, Rh, or R, leave it alone. Only label the wires that run from your wall into a terminal block.
   • TIP 2 To install accessories (humidifier, dehumidifier or ventilator) please refer to the wiring diagrams in the ‘Extras’ section.
2. STEP 6
   Unscrew the mounting plate of your old thermostat to remove it from the wall.WARNING Be careful, as some thermostats may contain mercury.
   Recycle your old thermostat safely with your local hazardous waste facility.
3. 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.
4. STEP 8: OPTIONAL
   If using the trim plate, align the mounting holes on the trim plate and backplate and press them into place together.
   
5. 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.
   
   TIP
   Use a 3/16” drill bit to drill a hole for the drywall plugs.

CHECKPOINT: INSERT YOUR R WIRE(S)

Do you have more than one R wire? (That includes R, Rc, and Rh)

1. STEP 10
   Insert your remaining wires into the side (not the front) of their corresponding terminal blocks.
   TIP Press the terminal block levers to insert the wires more easily.
2. STEP 11
   Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected.
   TIP When a wire has been connected correctly, the lever on that block will lower.
3. STEP 12
   Carefully push any excess wires back into the hole and ensure there are no drafts coming from the hole(s) in the wall.
   TIP Large holes behind your thermostat will affect temperature readings. Prevent drafts by covering the hole(s).
4. STEP 13
   Gently press your ecobee into the backplate until it ‘clicks’ into place.
   TIP If the thermostat ‘rocks’ or is not flush with the wall, be sure the excess wires are pushed all the way into the wall.
5. STEP 14
   Turn the power to your HVAC system back on using the master switch or at the circuit breaker box.
6. STEP 15
   Say hi to your new ecobee! The screen will power on and guide you through the setup and registration.
   TIP If your thermostat does not power on, please see the troubleshooting tips in the ‘Extras’ section.

Congratulations,
you did it!
To complete your setup, 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.

 

CHECKPOINT: DON’T SKIP AHEAD
Have you completed steps 1–4 in the ‘Start Your Install’ section?

CHECKPOINT: 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?

1. STEP 5
   Take your Power Extender Kit, wire labels, tools, your smartphone, and go to your HVAC system.
   
   TIP Your HVAC system can most often be found in your basement or your attic.
2. STEP 6
   Open your HVAC system’s cover to reveal the control board.
   WARNING HVAC systems contain high-voltage wires. Use caution when working with the control board.
3. STEP 7
   Take a picture of the wires connected to your control board. You may need to reference this photo later on.
4. 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 going to your thermostat.TIP If you have wires connected to both Rc and Rh terminals at the control board you may have a two-transformer system. Please contact support to help you with installation: 1.877.932.6233 or [email protected].
5. STEP 9
   Disconnect the wires labeled R, Y, G, and W from the control board.
   
6. STEP 10
   Connect the wires you disconnected from the control board to their matching gray terminal blocks on the Power Extender Kit.
   TIP
   Press the buttons to insert the wires more easily.
   
7. STEP 11
   Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected.TIP When a wire has been connected correctly, the button on that block will lower.
8. STEP 12
   Connect the five white wires coming out of your Power Extender Kit to their corresponding terminals on the control board.TIP Once again, tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected.

CHECKPOINT: 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.

1. 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 it to your thermostat.
   TIP Make sure your HVAC panel is fully closed. Some systems will not turn on if the cover panel has not been closed properly.
2. STEP 14
   Back at your thermostat:
   Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided.TIP
   If you have a jumper between Rc, Rh, or R, leave it alone. Only label the wires that run from your wall into a terminal block.
3. STEP 15
   Unscrew the mounting plate of your old thermostat to remove it from the wall.WARNING Be careful, as some thermostats may contain mercury. Recycle your old thermostat safely with your local hazardous waste facility.
4. STEP 16

5. STEP 17: OPTIONAL
   If using the trim plate, align the mounting holes on the trim plate and backplate and press them into place together.
6. 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.TIP Use a 3/16” drill bit to drill a hole for the drywall plugs.
7. STEP 19
   Remove the Rc, C, and PEK labels from the label sheet and attach them to the wires as shown below:

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your ecobee doesn’t turn on, please try these steps:

1. Check that all wires are properly inserted into the terminal blocks at the thermostat. Tug on the wires to ensure they are not loose.
2. Make sure your HVAC cover panel is closed. Some systems will not turn on if the cover panel has not been closed properly.
3. If you have only one R wire (either R, Rc, or Rh), make sure it’s inserted into the Rc terminal.
4. If you installed the Power Extender Kit, make sure you inserted the wires into the correct terminals:
