This article will detail the equipment you can expect in your smart thermostat kit and will walk through the 3 simple steps our HVAC installers will take to complete the installation of your GlacierGrid HVAC system.
What do I need to do to install my smart thermostats?
Nothing! Thermostat and zone sensor installation is handled by GlacierGrid technicians, so you don't need to worry about doing any of the physical installation yourself.
What equipment will be installed with my HVAC subscription?
Once you have reached the installation phase, our technician will install your thermostat. Depending on the thermostat model you receive, the hardware installed will vary. However, the installation process will remain the same.

Installation Steps:
Step 1:
Our installers will perform a thorough asset health audit to note any pre-existing issues with HVAC/R equipment. This step ensures that any problems are not attributed to the hardware that will be installed later. The onsite manager will review the results, and a signature must be obtained.
Step 2: Install
This entails installing and photographing all relevant hardware for the given location, which includes a WiFi router, smart thermostats for HVAC systems, remote sensors for the smart thermostats (as needed), a GlacierGrid hub, and GlacierGrid temperature and humidity sensors.
Step 3: Post-Install Tests
These tests will mirror the pre-install tests exactly. The purpose of these tests is to demonstrate that the equipment is functioning the same as it was pre-installation. The results will be reviewed with the onsite manager, and a signature will need to be obtained.
Once these are finished, your HVAC system is ready to go! Next, learn about Your GlacierGrid Dashboard to find out how to manage your new HVAC system.
