Get Good YouTube info B4 DIY install. Know if your C wire is active. Good unit.
Just got through installing my new Ecobee smart thermostat – enhanced version. It’s not the easiest thing to get up and running, but if you watch a few YouTube videos and pay close attention to the wiring requirements prior to attempting it, you’ll have it set up in 30 minutes. This was important because while you’re installing it, the AC has to be shut off. Mine came with a trim ring included, which was important because my previous thermostat footprint was a lot bigger than this so it saved me having to patch up paint around the edges.Make sure you know whether or not you have an active C wire connected to your existing thermostat (normally a blue wire) AND “operable” – meaning it’s hooked up to a C post on your existing thermostat — because if you don’t, this could complicate installation requiring you to install a wireless adapter to your main AC unit (included with mine but not needed). I don’t use Apple or Google to control it. I just use my wireless router and an Ecobee iOS application on my iPad, which seems to work fine. You to set it up manually if you’d like without using your phone or tablet, which is what I did. The main menu on the unit itself is pretty intuitive. Granted, its day one right now so I’ll post more if I see any issues. It seems to be working great and I like the schedule capability that allows you to set home, away, and sleep modes to adjust the temperature differently and automatically which is light years ahead of my ancient Honeywell unit. There is also a motion detector on the unit which can determine if you’re home or not and reset the temperature automatically. I turned that function off because we come and go often during the day and don’t want my AC ramping up every 2 hours.

Great, tricky in some houses
This is not battery operated. If your house’s thermostat wiring doesn’t come with a C wire, consider paying for professional installation. The C wire is what supplies constant power to this thermostat, but some houses didn’t bother to run that wire because they assumed your thermostat will use batteries. This does NOT mean you’re out of luck, but it does make the install more complicated.You will either need to run an additional wire through your walls or you’ll need to install the included PEK (not all thermostats of ecobee include it, so check your model and house wiring before buying). The PEK is, in my opinion, an ingenious piece of technology that deserves praise for how magical it seems. It repurposes 2 existing signal wires so that one wire becomes the C wire carrying constant power, and then the other wire carries various voltage levels to indicate multiple signals between thermostat and PEK; the PEK then translates those voltages and splits them back into separate wires for the rest of the system.However, it does require work near or in your HVAC unit. I had to spend a good bit of time carefully inspecting the colored wires, making sure I knew exactly which is which. Again, houses are all different and some might use nonstandard wire colors; for example, my blue wire functioned as the Y wire, with no yellow in sight! You should be absolutely sure of what does what; you’ll probably want to read up on the purpose of each wire. ecobee includes stickers to help you label the wires as you investigate.But once the PEK is installed, the thermostat works beautifully. The touch screen is responsive, it walks you through startup easily, and the app is full of features and settings galore.Again, paying for a professional will save you wiring confusion whether you need the PEK installed or just run a new wire.

I used to be a die-hard Nest thermostat fan. Thought nothing could top it—until the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced came along and completely changed the game. This isn’t just a thermostat; it’s a lifestyle upgrade.From the moment we installed it, I knew we were onto something better. The interface is sleek, intuitive, and incredibly user-friendly. No confusing menus or clunky settings—just smart, responsive controls that make managing your home’s climate effortless. It learns quickly, adapts intelligently, and makes temperature adjustments feel seamless.And let’s talk savings. Our AC and heating bills have noticeably dropped since switching to Ecobee. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about efficiency. The way it optimizes usage without sacrificing performance is impressive. It’s like having a personal energy manager working behind the scenes.The design is modern and clean, blending perfectly into our home without drawing attention. Setup was a breeze, and the app is just as polished—giving us full control whether we’re home or away.I’ve gone from Nest loyalist to Ecobee evangelist, and I’m not looking back. If you’re serious about saving money, simplifying your life, and upgrading your home’s tech, this thermostat is a must-have. Don’t hesitate—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

Great smart thermostat, just be aware of what kind you need
If you ask my husband, the Ecobee thermostats are the next best thing to sliced bread. However, we found out the hard way that our HVAC system is a little more complex than this thermostat allows for. Our system has a built-in redundancy to ensure the heat stays warm enough in the winter, which involves additional wiring. So we ended up having to return this model to get the next model up. But the thermostat itself is fantastic – very easy to set up and to use.
