Before you buy
- Verify existing thermostat wiring: 24V heating and cooling systems require either a dedicated C (common) wire or installation of the included Power Extender Kit at the furnace control board.
- Not compatible with high-voltage 120/240V electric baseboard heaters without an approved relay interface module.
- Ensure high-speed 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi signal coverage is available at the thermostat installation location.
- If pairing with a dual-fuel system (heat pump with natural gas furnace), verify that staging temperature cutoffs are properly configured during software setup.
Frequently asked questions
What sensors are built into the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium?
The thermostat features an integrated radar occupancy sensor, precision indoor temperature and humidity sensors, and a built-in indoor air quality (IAQ) monitor that tracks volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and estimated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels.
What is the SmartSensor room sensor and how does it work?
The included wireless SmartSensor measures temperature and occupancy in bedrooms or living areas up to 60 feet away, allowing the thermostat to average temperatures across rooms or focus comfort on currently occupied spaces.
Does the ecobee thermostat require a C-wire (common wire)?
The thermostat requires continuous 24 V AC power via a C-wire. If your existing thermostat cable lacks a C-wire, the included Power Extender Kit (PEK) can be easily installed inside your furnace or air handler cabinet without running new wiring.
What HVAC equipment configurations does it support?
The ecobee Premium supports conventional heating and cooling systems (up to 2 stages of heat, 2 stages of cool) and heat pump systems (up to 4 stages of heat, 2 stages of cool, including auxiliary/emergency heat, dual-fuel systems, and whole-home humidifiers/dehumidifiers).
Does the thermostat support smart home voice assistants?
Yes. The thermostat features a built-in speaker and far-field microphone array supporting Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri voice control, as well as integration with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and SmartThings.
Can the ecobee control a whole-house humidifier?
Yes. The terminal board includes 1-wire and 2-wire accessory terminals (ACC+ and ACC-) capable of scheduling and controlling whole-home evaporative or steam humidifiers (like AprilAire) with automatic window frost protection.
What materials are used in the physical enclosure?
The ecobee Premium features a brushed zinc metal chassis with an edge-to-edge curved glass touch display, offering high durability and modern styling on residential walls.
Does the thermostat function if Wi-Fi internet is disconnected?
Yes. If the home Wi-Fi network drops, the thermostat continues operating its scheduled heating, cooling, and setback programs normally via its internal non-volatile memory.
Can the thermostat display outdoor weather and air quality?
Yes. When connected to Wi-Fi, the home screen displays a 5-day local Canadian weather forecast, outdoor relative humidity, and air quality index (AQI) alerts.
What mounting accessories and installation trim plates are included?
The unit includes detailed step-by-step interactive wiring guides via the ecobee mobile app, standard wall mounting hardware, and an architectural trim plate to cover older paint lines and screw holes.
