THERMOSTATS: SMART CONTROL & SAVINGS
Upgrade to Modern Comfort. Take Control of Your Home’s Climate and Cut Energy Costs with a New Thermostat.
Upgrade Your Control, Optimize Your HVAC Performance
Your thermostat is the brain of your heating and cooling system. If you’re relying on an outdated analog or non-programmable model, you are missing out on major energy savings and precise control. Modern smart and programmable thermostats allow you to optimize your comfort schedule, adjust temperatures remotely via a smartphone, and even learn your habits to automatically reduce energy use when you are away from home. Upgrading your thermostat is one of the fastest ways to improve the efficiency and convenience of your entire HVAC system in Minneapolis.
Professional Installation Maximizes Smart Savings
While installing a thermostat may seem simple, connecting a smart device to your complex HVAC system requires precision wiring and accurate calibration, especially for high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps. Our Certified technicians specialize in the professional installation and programming of all major smart thermostat brands, ensuring the device communicates correctly with your heating and cooling equipment. We maximize your energy savings by setting up custom comfort schedules and teaching you how to utilize the device’s learning capabilities to avoid unnecessarily heating or cooling an empty home.
Choosing the Right Level of Control
Blue Ox installs a full range of modern thermostats to match every need and budget. For simple control and reliability, we offer highly accurate digital non-programmable thermostats. For guaranteed savings, we recommend programmable thermostats, which allow you to set customized comfort schedules throughout the day and week. Our most popular options are Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostats that use geofencing and learning technology to automatically adjust temperatures based on whether you are home, offering maximum energy savings and convenience via smartphone access.
Precision Calibration for Maximum Comfort and Efficiency
The precision of your thermostat determines the efficiency of your entire HVAC unit. A poorly calibrated device can cause your system to short-cycle (turn on and off too frequently) or run unnecessarily, wasting energy and causing component wear. Our Certified technicians ensure your new thermostat is wired correctly and perfectly calibrated to communicate with your high-efficiency furnace or heat pump. This professional setup guarantees your system runs at its optimal efficiency and provides the comfortable, even temperatures you expect.
- Seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and smartphone control.
- Accurate wiring and calibration for high-efficiency systems.
- Expert programming to maximize energy savings automatically.
- Protection of your HVAC equipment through proper cycling control.
How much energy can a smart thermostat actually save me?
Studies show that proper use of a smart thermostat can save homeowners 10% to 15% on their heating and cooling bills annually by automatically optimizing temperatures and reducing waste when the home is empty.
Is it difficult to install a smart thermostat myself?
While some DIY installation is possible, connecting a smart thermostat to modern, multi-stage, or heat pump systems is complex and requires precision wiring (C-wire). Professional installation ensures correct calibration and guarantees maximum efficiency.
Can I control my smart thermostat when I'm away from home?
Yes. All smart thermostats we install are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you to monitor and adjust your home’s temperature, receive alerts, and optimize comfort schedules from anywhere in the world via a smartphone app.
Do smart thermostats work with all types of HVAC systems?
Most smart thermostats work with standard gas, electric, and central AC systems. However, special wiring and programming are needed for heat pumps, zone systems, or boiler systems. Our technicians ensure complete compatibility and correct setup.

Testimonials
We work hard to satisfy our clients
We had a great experience with the AC team! They were professional, thorough, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out was how transparent they were, there were no hidden fees, and everything was clearly communicated from the start. Highly recommend!
Paul Butchel
A/C SERVICE
Fantastic service. Very competitive pricing and exceptional service. Installation was done the next day. The technicians, Levi Peterson and Dan King, arrived right on schedule the next morning, and had both the furnace and condenser fully operational by the evening. They were incredibly professional.
Andrew Cole
HVAC INSTALLATION
We had a great experience with this company. In the past, we’ve run into issues with other vendors quoting a low service fee and then charging significantly more without fixing anything, so we were cautious when our business’s A/C went out. After calling around, this team was able to come out the quickest, and they stuck to their quoted price.
