Troubleshooting

If your ecobee doesn’t turn on, please try these steps.

Check that all wires are properly inserted into the terminal blocks at the thermostat. Tug on the wires to ensure they are not loose.
Some HVAC equipment has a safety switch that cuts off power to the equipment if the equipment cover panel is not closed properly. Please ensure the cover panel of the equipment is closed properly.
If you installed the PEK, ensure R wire is connected to Rc only and G wire is inserted properly into the terminal.
If you have a multi-meter, please check the AC voltage between Rc and C or Rh and C and ensure it is 24V.
