The Real Difference

What Changes When You Upgrade

What changes day-to-day after install — without you thinking about it.

Your home is ready when you are

Geofencing starts heating or cooling before you arrive. Walk in to the right temperature.

More even, consistent temperature

Responds to weather before you feel it. Holds setpoint within 1–2°. Big difference on cold mornings and warm afternoons.

Full control from anywhere

Forgot to turn it down? Coming back early? One tap from your phone, anywhere.

Know before something fails

Flags unusual run times, short cycling, or missed setpoint. Notification on your phone — not a cold wake-up at 2am.

The room you're in is the right temperature

Sensors like Ecobee's prioritize occupied rooms. Bedroom right at bedtime. Living room right in the evening.

Better sleep — quieter nights

Cooler overnight, warm by morning. Set once, runs every night automatically.

Happy Customers

Covington Homeowners Who Upgraded

★★★★★

"I put off the upgrade for years. After Next Phase installed the Ecobee and set it up properly, my PSE bill dropped $42 the first month. It paid for itself before spring. Wish I'd done it sooner."

★★★★★

"The tech didn't just install it — he actually sat with me for 20 minutes walking through every feature. I'm actually using the geofencing and schedule now. Never happened with the last company."

SC
Sarah C.
Bellevue, WA
★★★★★

"My old Nest was acting up — short cycling and randomly going blank. Called Next Phase, they diagnosed a wiring issue in 20 minutes, fixed it on the spot. No parts needed, no up-sell. Just fixed."

★★★★★

"Had a Honeywell dial thermostat from the 90s. Next Phase replaced it with a Sensi Touch — perfect for our older wiring. The house stays comfortable now and the app is genuinely easy to use."

★★★★★

"Lennox system so I went with the iComfort. The tech knew the system cold and had it set up in under an hour. The variable-speed integration is noticeably quieter and more even heating."

Questions

Thermostat FAQ

Most smart thermostats need a C-wire. Older homes often don't have one. We add an adapter or run a new wire. Some models (Emerson Sensi) work without one. We check before recommending.

Yes, but heat pumps need O/B reversing valve wiring and a model that handles aux heat stages. Ecobee and Honeywell T6 Pro both work. Wrong model wired wrong = inefficient operation.

A single thermostat only measures one location. Remote sensors (Ecobee SmartSensor) cover the rooms you actually use. Best fix without touching ductwork.

Sometimes. Simple 2-stage forced-air with correct wiring? Yes. Heat pumps, multi-stage, zoned systems, or C-wire additions? Risky — wrong setup damages HVAC.

Often power: dead batteries, tripped breaker, or loose C-wire. Replace batteries and check the furnace breaker first. Still blank? Call.
