A standard thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature of your home via a control panel on the thermostat.
A smart thermostat gives you the opportunity to have greater control over your thermostat while helping you be as efficient as possible in regards to your thermostats energy usage. Have the ability to control your smart thermostat via its control panel or remotely using your smart device or home control system. Utilize the various features that come with smart thermostats to help you manage your home efficiently.
For more information on the smart thermostats we sell & install visit our smart thermostat page HERE.
Typically thermostats only read the temperature of the space in which they physically are. Remote temperature sensors can be placed in additional areas to allow your smart thermostat to know which rooms should be at what temperature at a certain time of day. This is often necessary due to the thermostat's physical location in the home leading to incorrect readings. Temperature sensors also give you control of rooms that are controlled by a thermostat which is external to that room. This is common to one bedroom condos, where the thermostat that controls the bedroom is actually located in the living room.
Take a look at the remote temperature sensors we offer HERE.
Color options vary based on the type of smart thermostat you purchase. Nextech offers the Nest 3rd Generation Learning Thermostat in stainless steel, black, or white. Ecobee thermostats only come in black. Installation lead times may differ depending on the color of the smart thermostat chosen.
For more details on what smart thermostats Nextech offers take a look at our smart thermostat page located HERE.
Yes, Nextech installed smart thermostats are fully compatible with a variety of smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant, Apple Homekit, Hey Google, and IFTTT among others.
You don't need to connect your smart thermostat to the internet for it to work. If your device is not connected to WiFi or the internet, the device will work as a manual thermostat. However, it must be connected to WiFi to be managed remotely on your smart device and to access many of its useful features. If you purchase a smart thermostat you'll most likely want to connect it to WiFi to get the most use out of it.
Nextech only sells devices that will be installed by us. We do not ship out products to customers wether they are in state or out of state.
Nextech handles all of the initial setup and programming of your smart thermostat upon installation.
Yes, smart thermostat settings may be changed or modified at your discretion.
For more brand specific information regarding smart thermostat settings look at our Manufacturer's Resources & Links tab for your corresponding smart thermostat brand.
The auto-scheduling feature allows your smart thermostat to learn from your behavior and past patterns. It then sets the temperature accordingly to maximize your comfort while also saving you energy when it can.
For example, if you routinely turn the temperature down at bed-time, you may notice your smart thermostat begins to do this automatically on your behalf around that time.
For users with inconsistent work/home schedules or patterns of use, you may consider disabling the auto-scheduling feature. You can manage auto-scheduling in your smart thermostat’s settings.
If you plan on removing your smart thermostat from your account we recommend notifying Nextech to ensure the device continues to function correctly.
The smart thermostat account details are protected and offers two factor authentication for added security. Be sure to create a strong password for your smart thermostat and not to share it with any unauthorized parties. It's recommended that the password you choose be dissimilar to other existing passwords for your personal devices and accounts.
Installing a smart thermostat gives you the ability to have more than one user control it. Details on how to go about setting up multiple users vary depending on the brand of the smart thermostat you posses.
For more brand specific information regarding your smart thermostat take a look at our Manufacturer's Resources & Links tab.
If your device allows for multiple fan speeds,changing your systems fan speed can often be done directly through your smart thermostat or using the compatible app on your smart device. Specifics on changing your particular smart thermostat's fan speed will differ based on its brand.

To find customer support, contact information, and online resources visit the Manufacturer's Resources & Links tab for your specific device.
If your issue requires us to dispatch to your unit and you are out of the one year labor warranty, a standard Dispatch Fee will be required.
Most furnaces typically need to change the air filter once or twice a year to keep the systems running smoothly. If you enable "filter reminders" your Smart Thermostat will notify you know when it's time to change your filter based on how long your system has been running.
If your building management provides this service on your behalf you can disable or disregard the air filter notification. If you change or remove your filters manually, you must take special care to do so in a manner that does not tug or strain the wires, or otherwise affect them in any manner that could cause a disruption to your HVAC's system performance. Failure to do so can cause signifant issues to occur with your thermostat.
For basic troubleshooting and programming matters please refer to the troubleshooting section of this Resource Center or reach out to your device manufacturer's customer support.
You can find more information relating to manufacturers in the Manufacturer's Resources & Links tab.
If you believe your issue is related to your units HVAC system i.e.: motor, valves, fan coil, etc. you should contact your building's engineer for assistance.
If these steps have not resolved your issue or you believe the matter is directly related to the installation please reach out to us.
A fan coil unit is a simple device consisting of a fan and a heating/cooling exchanger or 'coil'. It's part of an HVAC system commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
A fan coil unit is used to control the temperature in a localized space where it's installed by blowing air through connecting ductwork. It's controlled either by a manual on/off switch or by a thermostat, which controls the flow of hot or cold water to the coil using a valve actuator and fan speeds. Larger spaces may include several fan coil units to heat/cool the various living zones.
Due to their simplicity and flexibility, fan coil units can be more economical to install than ducted 100% fresh air systems (VAV) or central heating systems with air handling units or chilled beams, especially in highrise and multi-tenant buildings. Various unit configurations are available, including horizontal (ceiling mounted) or vertical (floor mounted).
Fan coils and electric baseboards common in highrise buildings work with line-voltage thermostats which can be either 120 or 240 volts. Smart Thermostats by comparison use 24 volts. If you tried to hook up a low voltage thermostat directly to a fan coil unit it would fry the thermostat. Nextech converts high voltage systems to a lower one with a prefabricated conversion kit.
This requires specialized equipment used by a certified technician.
Depending on the make and model, fan coil units typically support between 1-3 fan speeds: low, medium, and high. These speeds dictate how fast the heated or cooled air flows into a given space. Smart thermostats range on what fan speeds they're able to support and if they're able to toggle between different speeds.
For more information on specific fan speed details visit the Manufacturer Resources tab to see what the different smart thermostat manufacturers support.
Valve actuators are connected to your building’s HVAC piping and allow the smart thermostat to control the heat/cool by opening and closing the hot and cold water valves. The motor activates the fan and controls the speed.
Nextech will examine and test your valve actuators and motor prior to the smart thermostat installation and notify you of any deficiencies found. Defective, aging, and/or inoperable valves and motors can adversely affect the proper function of your smart thermostat. In many circumstances Nextech is able to quote to replace aging and or deficient motors and actuators to ensure the best possible function of your system.
You may wish to consult with your building’s engineer or maintenance person if an issue is found and a component in your system needs to be repaired or replaced, as some buildings provide this service to residents themselves.
Does my fan coil unit have a built-in humidifier? If so can I integrate it with my Smart Thermostat?
In general, the majority of fan coil models do not have humidifiers built in. There are some exceptions, and certain buildings have separate humidifiers with a local humidistat controller installed at the fan coil unit.
If your unit has a built in humidifier, Nextech may be able to integrate the humidifier with the smart thermostat and eliminate the need for a separate humidistat. This is typically a custom quoted service unique to your specific unit.
If you think you may qualify for this service contact us directly for more details.
If you have a Nest Thermostat installed in your unit and find that it is triggering your system to kick on but not producing hot air please proceed with the following steps.
- Check if your thermostat was factory reset. (See the article linked HERE for further instruction.)
- Have your building maintenance team asses your unit's HVAC equipment and confirm everything is in working order. They can check the condition of your units valve actuator and the buildings boiler system.
If your thermostat was not factory reset AND your building's maintenance team cleared your HVAC equipment of having any issues, please proceed with contacting Nextech.
Nest Thermostat
If your Nest Thermostat was factory reset it will hinder its ability to produce hot air when set to heating. To confirm if your thermostat was factory reset please follow these steps:
- Go to the settings (on Nest Thermostat)
- Scroll to the Nest Pro section and select
If your thermostat displays Nextech's company information, then your thermostat was NOT factory reset and there is a different reason for your heating issue. At this point contact Nextech.
If your thermostat prompts you to enter a "Pro ID" then your thermostat WAS factory reset and needs to be reprogrammed. Nextech has very specific instructions that need to be followed to properly reprogram your Nest Thermostat. Reach out to Nextech and a team member will send you a PDF copy of the reprogramming instructions.
Ecobee Thermostat
If you have an Ecobee Thermostat that was completely factory reset this will require a technician to dispatch to perform the reprogramming. Contact a Nextech team member for next steps.
If your thermostat is set to heat but warm air is coming out of the vent and you feel the space is not properly heated, you should first check to be sure that the thermostat is properly paired to its wireless temperature sensor.
The sensor should be placed in a neutral location. Not too close to the ceiling and ideally 4-6ft above the ground. If the sensor is placed near windows, vents, low to the ground, or too high then you will experience incorrect readings and poor performance from your thermostat.
You should also be sure that your air supply vent is fully open and that your filter is reasonable clean as a clogged filter can reduce air flow.
If your thermostat supports 3 fan speeds, you can run the fan on high to assist with heating the space. Instructions on switching fan speeds can be found in our Manufacturer's Resources & Links tab.
If you have a Nest Thermostat and the air feels cool or neutral, you first want to check if your device was factory reset. Find those instructions HERE.
Once ruling out a factory reset, contact your buildings onsite team to make sure that there are no known issues with the building boiler. If there are no known problems and they are able to, you want them to check the condition of your valve actuator and whether it is properly letting water from the building boiler enter into your system.
If your inhouse team assesses that the actuator is in proper condition but it is not opening properly, then they should manually open the pipe for you. This will allow hot water into the system in term allowing you to maintain heating until the underlying issue is repaired. At this stage, contact Nextech for next steps.
If you find that your fan is failing to blow as it should begin by cycling through the system fan speeds on your thermostat, if multiple fan speeds are available. Note if any of the fan speeds trigger a change.
Fan instructions for Nest and Ecobee can be found in the Manufacturer Resources & Links section of the Resouce Center
If your Nest Thermostat was factory reset, it will not call for heat. To check if your Nest Thermostat was factory reset refer to Factory Reset instructions found HERE.
If you determine your thermostat was not factory reset, contact your building maintenance team to inspect the condition of your motor to rule out equipment faiure. If the motor is determined to be in working condition, contact Nextech for next steps.
The most common cause of power issues is an external disruption to the power supply. Please ensure that your fan coil has not been turned off either by an internal switch inside the HVAC cabinet-fan coil or an external power switch. You will also want to check if your breaker is tripped. Please contact your building staff if you have questions about checking your power supply and breakers.
Some buildings have an automatic HVAC shut off that triggers when the drain found in your fan coil clogs or there is excessive moisture build up within the unit. This could occur after heavy rainfall or when there is a leak in the fan coil. Please contact your building staff regarding this shut off mechanism.
In some cases the RC wire may become unseated during unit service, such as a filter change. If recent service was performed prior to this error occurring, please check that all wires are properly landed on the thermostat base.
If the above have all been ruled out, then please contact Nextech.
If you have a Nest Thermostat, when attempting to connect to the internet, note whether any local networks yours, or others appear on the device as selectable. If this step times out or if you receive an error reading W5, please contact Nextech.
If networks do appear, please perform troubleshooting as outlined HERE.
You can also attempt to restart your WiFi router. Its important to have your WiFi router in an optimal area for a solid connection between all your devices. Keeping it out in the main living area rather than stored in a closet can also help with WiFi connection issues.
If your fan seems to always be running despite your inputs, it is likely that you have a fan schedule inadvertently set. Please clear and disable both your fan schedule and autoschedule or update them to your preferred settings.
Scheduling and fan instructions for Nest and Ecobee can be found in the Manufacturers Resources & Links section of the Resource Center.
Oftentimes the temperature reading being displayed on your smart thermostat isnt always the most accurate, for that reason we also program the remote temperature sensors paired with your thermostat. Smart thermostats are often installed on cold metal fan coil covers and sometimes placed near vents or large windows. All of these factors can throw off the thermostats sensor. Nextech mandates the installation of remote temperature sensors with smart thermostats to help have better control over the home's temperature.
As the thermostat and the sensor are placed in different locations they will not show the same exact temperature reading.
If you have a Nest thermostat and your home is not reaching the set temperature ensure in your Nest App that the temperature is being driven by the sensor and not the thermostat. To check this you can select your thermostat and at the bottom of the screen you should see the connected sensor. There should be a white dot next to the sensor showing that it is the driving device. If it is not, select the sensor.
If you have an Ecobee thermostat select your thermostat on the Ecobee app and double check both the thermostats settings as well as the connected sensors participation settings. The thermostat should have all of the comfort settings unchecked. The sensors participation in comfort setting should all be checked. This will ensure your thermostat is being driven by the remote sensor.
If you are manually settting your fan to run but find that it automatically stops after a period of time this could be due to a fan schedule being setup. Please clear and disable both your fan schedule and autoschedule or update them to your preferred settings.
Scheduling and fan instructions for Nest and Ecobee can be found in the Manufacturers Resources & Links section of the Resource Center.
For many of the buildings serviced by Nextech, there is a period of time in between the switch from cooling season to heating season and vice versa. During this period the temperature of the water provided by the building´s system may not be conducive/lead to the temperatures that you are attempting to meet in your home. For example, although it is chilly outside on an October evening, you may find that you are unable to heat your condo because the boiler system has not yet been activated for the year. Should you be experiencing difficulty between the months of September / November & March / June, always check with your in house staff as to the status of the building's boiler and chiller respectively.
Depending on whether your building has a 2-pipe or 4-pipe system, you may find your ability to cool reduced in the winter time. 2-pipe systems typically can't support both heat and cool simultaneously. Therefore, attempting to run the AC during the heating months will be ineffective as well as inefficient. If you believe you have a 2-pipe system, do not use the “auto” heat/cool feature of your Smart Thermostat. If you're unsure whether you have a 2-pipe or 4-pipe system, check with your building’s engineer or maintenance person.
If you are renting out your unit and want to reset your thermostat to allow the tenant to connect it to their WiFi and enjoy remote access to the thermostat, please follow these steps.
Nest Thermostat
The easiest way to reprogram your Nest Thermostat for a new tenant is to perform a factory reset. This will reset the entire thermostat and will require specific Nest Pro reprogramming. Have your tenant reach out and Contact our team to be given the Nest Pro reprogramming instructions.
Ecobee Thermostat
To reset the Ecobee thermostat you want to be sure to not perform a complete factory reset, but simply perform a reconfiguration of the various settings. Follow the steps provided by the Ecobee Support Team via the link below to prepare your thermostat for the new tenants.
Ecobee Support Article : How to move your ecobee devices and transfer ownership
If your Ecobee Smart Thermostat indicates poor air quality, it will prompt you with notifications on what it is detecting. The device uses a relative sensor to measure VOC's and estimates the indoor air quality based on ranges in the air. The air quality reader is not 100% accurate.
If you experience any issues with your thermostat's IAQ readings, we recommend reaching out to Ecobee's Support team directly, as they are better equippied to troubleshoot this feature.
