The short answer

How much does smart thermostat installation cost in San Diego?

Switch Your Fixture installs wireless and conventional thermostats in San Diego homes, including Google Nest, Ecobee and Honeywell smart thermostats. A thermostat is about an hour or less on our estimator, so it is usually covered by the $159 service call that includes the first hour. We label and connect the wiring, add a C-wire adapter if needed, and set up the app.

Bought the wrong size? Only a 15-minute consultation fee, and we rebook.

Do I need a C-wire for a smart thermostat?

Most smart thermostats work best with one. If your system doesn’t have a C-wire, we can usually install the adapter that comes with the thermostat.

How much does thermostat installation cost?

A thermostat is about an hour or less, so it is usually just the $159 service call.

Will a smart thermostat work with my system?

Most do. Check the brand’s compatibility tool before you buy, or send us a photo of the wiring behind your current thermostat and we’ll help.

How much does fixture installation cost in San Diego?

Switch Your Fixture charges a $159 service call that includes the first hour of labor. Additional labor is $159 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments of $39.75. Every service is billed at the same rate, so you can add up the time for your fixtures and multiply by the hourly rate to build your own estimate.

What happens if my fixture takes less than, or more than, an hour to install?

Our service call includes an hour of labor to install your fixture. If it takes less than an hour, we offer other services to fill the time, such as changing bulbs, swapping switch plates or hanging a picture. Additional labor is billed in 15-minute increments at our hourly rate.

What if the fixture I bought doesn’t fit?

If we arrive and your fixture doesn’t fit, we only charge a 15-minute consultation fee ($39.75). The consultation gives you the information you need to buy the correct fixture, and we rebook your install.

Can you install multiple fixtures on the same visit?

Yes, that’s what we do. Every fixture is billed at the same rate, so put your whole list in one request: a fan, a faucet, a TV and a doorbell can all go in on the same trip under one service call.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. We warranty all of our installations. If something we installed is not working the way it should, call or text (619) 677-8677 and we will come back and make it right.
