Professional thermostat rewiring costs depend on your system and wiring condition. A Harker technician confirms pricing after an on-site evaluation. Costs change if we add a C-wire for a smart thermostat. Integration with zoning or humidity controls can add time. We service Nest, Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Carrier controls. Installation and commissioning are done in-house. 24/7 service is available in Madison and Sun Prairie.

You can replace a simple like-for-like low-voltage thermostat yourself. For smart upgrades, zoning, heat pumps, or humidity/IAQ add-ons, use a pro to avoid wiring and programming issues. We provide full in-house installation, commissioning, and training, or design/assistance if you prefer to self-install. We’re a Nest Elite Pro and support Honeywell, Carrier, and Aprilaire controls for homes in Madison and Sun Prairie.
- Shut off HVAC power at the breaker.
- Photograph and label each wire.
- Confirm system type and C-wire needs.
- Avoid line-voltage thermostats.
