Please note, at this time you can only make one professional installation purchase per order. If you would like to installation for multiple thermostats or doorbell cameras, please purchase them as separate orders.
Smart Doorbell Camera (wired) installation
In the case of the Smart Doorbell Camera (wired), installation includes all work required to install the device—including, if needed, removal of your existing doorbell and replacement of the transformer, the chime box, or both. If a replacement chime box is needed, you must provide your own, as HelloTech does not supply this hardware.
Important: A working transformer and chime box are required for installation.
Transformer
If you do not have a working transformer, you may purchase one from HelloTech when you book your installation.
Chime boxes
Chime boxes are not available for purchase from HelloTech, so you must provide your own if replacement is needed.
Not sure which chime box you have or need?
Before your installation visit, see our Smart Doorbell Camera (wired) Compatibility article to find the right option for your setup.
Replacement chime boxes can typically be purchased from major retailers such as hardware stores, electronics retailers, or online marketplaces.
Can I purchase the Professional Installation service separately from the Smart Doorbell Camera (wired)?
Yes, you can add the Professional Installation service to your cart along with Smart Doorbell Camera or purchase it separately later on this page and adding it to your cart.
Smart Thermostat installation
What should I do before purchase?
Use the ecobee Thermostat Compatibility Checker to confirm your home is ready before completing your purchase.
What does installation include?
Installation covers all work required to set up the device, including the Power Extender Kit (PEK) if needed.
A note on Smart Thermostat Essential installation with the PEK:
The PEK is included with the Smart Thermostat Premium and Enhanced thermostat models, but it is not included with the Smart Thermostat Essential. If you're purchasing Smart Thermostat Essential, we recommend using the Compatibility Checker before purchase to see if your installation will require one. If your installation requires the PEK we recommend adding the PEK to your order. Your technician may or may not have one on hand. Keep in mind, if your installation requires the PEK, your HelloTech technician will need access to your furnace control board.
A note on the Smart Thermostat Essential Trim Kit:
The Essential thermostat doesn't include a trim kit, and because it has a compact you may notice a gap where your previous thermostat was. For the best results, we therefore recommend adding a trim kit to your order (sold separately). Do note, your HelloTech technician may also have one on hand for an additional charge.
What if the technician determines installation isn't possible?
In rare cases, existing home wiring or setup may not be compatible with professional installation. If that's the case, you may be eligible for a refund on both the installation service and your ecobee hardware.
If you’re requesting a refund due to an unserviceable or cancelled installation, you’ll first need to confirm your HelloTech appointment is cancelled. You can do this using the scheduling link provided to you by HelloTech in your booking confirmation email, or by calling 1-844-986-4945 or emailing support@hellotech.com. Once cancelled, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Please share that with our Customer Support Team so we can verify the cancellation and process your return and refund.
Can I buy the installation service without purchasing a device?
Yes, Professional Installation can be purchased separately by adding it to your cart from this page.
How many installations can I purchase per order?
You can only purchase one installation service per thermostat or doorbell camera order. If you require multiple installations, please purchase them as separate orders. If you would like installation for both a thermostat and a doorbell camera. Consider the Combined Installation option to save $14.
