installing Thermostat
Currently, residents of the city of Montreal are looking for ways to minimize energy costs. A quality thermostat is, for example, a great way to save more. It’s also a great modifier of your home’s temperature, regardless of the time of day. Here is some information you need to know about installing and connecting this equipment.
A thermostat: what is it exactly?
The thermostat is a device to check the temperature of the house or equipment such as the vehicle, oven, etc. Before being used in the home, the thermostat is adopted only previously in the industrial field. This is why it plays a role as a temperature regulator in our homes.
In general, the thermostat is paired with the heating system to stabilize the temperature in each room of your home. It is also important for the individual test of the ambient temperature generated by the radiators.
In fact, the thermostat looks like a small box consisting of a digital screen and a rotating graduated dial. Thanks to the operation of the dial or screen and programming, the device accurately offers the temperature desired by the user. When this temperature is set, the thermostat then checks the ambient temperature. If the degree of heat is less than the established value, the device shows it to the boiler so that it works very well. The thermostat valve remains closed until the room has an adequate temperature. Indeed, the household will prevent you from spending more thermal energy and reducing your heating costs.
In addition, our heating professionals located in Montreal and its surroundings are ready for the installation of your thermostat according to your expectations. Whether it is the installation of the thermostat or the installation of electric furnace or the installation of air conditioning, they have the required skills.
What equipment is needed to install a thermostat?
To set up a programmable thermostat, equip yourself with the following equipment:
- An electric wire;
- A drill;
- A cutter;
- A cutting pliers;
- A tweezer to strip naked;
- A pencil;
- Screws;
- Ankles;
- A screwdriver.
These devices allow you to install and connect your thermostat efficiently and quickly.
Installation of your thermostat: what are the rules to follow?
Apart from having the equipment, the location of the device also requires a few rules. First, turn off the general circuit breaker of your home’s electricity meter. It will be at the end of the installation that you turn it back on to check if the thermostat is working very well.
Then, now choose the appropriate place for laying the housing against the wall. Then point the location of the screws with a pencil so that you are not lost. Pierce the notches with 5 mm length bits and then install dowels corresponding to your wall.
Before plugging in the thermostat, then screw it on the pegs so that it remains stable. The electrical power must be cut off before and during the connection for safety. If you do not have sufficient skills regarding the installation and maintenance of the thermostat, it is advisable to contact a professional in this field.

Where to install your thermostat?
Usually, we ask the question: where to install your thermostat so that it works very well. Regardless of the model of thermostat (connected or programmable, ambient), it is important to install well in your home by respecting the rules. It is therefore advisable to install it in a reference room, more precisely the most used room in the house. To make it more convenient and worry-free, it is best to place it in an easily accessible place. Above all, be aware that the thermostat should not be mixed with temperature variations.
That is why it is mandatory to keep it away from sources of cold or heat. When installing or repairing it, avoid putting it in a place exposed to sunlight. It must be kept away from a radiator or a door or window that can trigger drafts capable of destroying its energy efficiency. It is obvious that the living room is the ideal room to install and connect your thermostat. But even if this is the case, it is better to fix it on an interior wall with a height of about 1.50 m.
