A smart thermostat is the cheapest HVAC upgrade you can make - and the one most often installed wrong. Murray HVAC Pros installs Nest, ecobee, and Honeywell smart thermostats with proper C-wire setup, accurate calibration, and a scheduled program that actually saves you money. No half-finished installs that need a service call six months later.
Properly wired with a C-wire, calibrated, and programmed before we leave.
What Your Thermostats Call Probably Looks Like
The most frequent thermostats calls we get from Murray and the surrounding cities, with the typical Murray-area price range.
Why You Want a Pro Installing a Smart Thermostat
On paper, swapping a thermostat is a 15-minute DIY job. In practice, three things go wrong constantly in Murray homes: missing C-wire, incompatible furnace control, and miscalibration. All three are fixable, but the fix requires HVAC knowledge that the smart thermostat manuals skip.
The C-wire (common wire) provides constant 24V power to the thermostat. Older Murray homes - pre-2010 furnace installs especially - frequently don't have a C-wire run to the thermostat location. Without it, most smart thermostats either don't work at all (Nest), work intermittently (ecobee with the included power-extender kit), or fail mysteriously after a few months. We install a real C-wire as part of every smart-thermostat install in homes that need it.
Compatibility matters too. A variable-speed furnace or a dual-fuel heat pump system needs a thermostat that handles those control signals correctly. The wrong thermostat will run the equipment in a degraded single-stage mode, killing efficiency. We pick the right model for your equipment, not the one with the prettiest box.
Which Smart Thermostat Should You Buy?
Our default Murray recommendations:
Nest 3rd Gen / Nest Learning Thermostat: best for homes with simple gas furnace + AC setups. Excellent learning algorithm, clean app, good resale value (helps when selling the house). Limitation: doesn't handle dual-fuel systems well.
ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control: best for homes with multi-stage equipment, dual-fuel systems, or rooms with temperature problems (the included room sensors let the system average multiple locations instead of just the hallway). Apple HomeKit support if you're in that ecosystem.
Honeywell T9 / T10: best for whole-house zoned systems, homes with boilers and radiant heat, or anyone who wants a more “set it and forget it” experience without the Nest learning algorithm. Strongest pro-grade lineup.
We'll recommend the right one based on your equipment, your habits, and what you want to spend.
The Schedule Setup That Actually Saves Money
A smart thermostat sitting at one constant temperature 24/7 saves you nothing - and we see Murray homes constantly where someone installed a $250 Nest and never set up a schedule, so the system runs flat. The real savings are in setback: dropping the temperature 7–10°F overnight and during work hours when nobody's home, then ramping back up before you arrive.
For Murray heating: setback to 60–62°F overnight and during weekday work hours, ramp to 68–72°F during morning and evening occupied hours. Typical savings: 10–15% on winter gas bills.
For Murray cooling: setback to 78–82°F during weekday work hours, hold at 72–75°F during occupied hours. Typical savings: 12–18% on summer power bills.
Every Murray HVAC Pros smart-thermostat install includes schedule setup and a 15-minute walkthrough of how to adjust it. We show you the app, set up your account, and verify it's working before we leave.

What Thermostats Typically Costs in Utah
The ranges below are typical Utah and Salt Lake Valley prices - industry averages, not a quote. What you actually pay depends on your system's age, brand, parts, and what the contractor finds on-site. Always get the price in writing before any work starts.
Most Utah contractors roll the diagnostic fee into the repair invoice once you approve the work - ask before you book.
Four Steps, No Run-Around
Calling an HVAC contractor should be the easy part of having a broken furnace. Here's exactly what happens when you call Murray HVAC Pros.
Call or Request Online
Real Murray dispatcher picks up - no answering service, no menu trees. We log your issue and your address.
We Roll a Truck
Most Murray, Holladay, and Millcreek calls see a truck on the driveway inside 30 minutes during business hours.
Diagnose & Quote
Tech walks you through what's wrong, what the fix costs, and what the cost is to replace if it's close. Written estimate before any work starts.
Fix It Right
Most repairs done same-day with parts on the truck. Warranty on labor, manufacturer warranty on parts, follow-up call to make sure it's right.
What You Get When You Call Us
Six commitments we make to every Murray homeowner who picks up the phone.
Local Murray Crew, Not a Franchise
Our shop is on 900 East at 5400 South. Our techs live in Murray, Holladay, Millcreek, and Cottonwood Heights. You get the same crew every visit - not whoever the dispatch app pulled from three counties over.
Up-Front Pricing, In Writing
You see the number before we lift a wrench. No 'what we found' surprises after we've pulled the unit apart. If the diagnosis changes the price, we stop and call you first.
Altitude-Smart Installs
Murray is at 4,300 feet. Cottonwood Heights is closer to 4,800. Most furnaces ship from the factory tuned for sea-level air - at altitude, that means burning too hot and cracking heat exchangers years early. We derate every install with a combustion analyzer.
Real After-Hours Pickup
Call us at 2 AM in January when the furnace dies. A real Murray HVAC Pros tech picks up the phone - not an answering service that takes your name and hopes someone calls back.
One Crew, Heat & Cool, Every Season
We're a full HVAC contractor - not a furnace-only shop you have to replace in April. Same crew works your AC in July and your furnace in January, with parts on the truck for both.
Honest Repair-vs-Replace
Multiply the system's age by the repair quote. Over $5,000? We'll bring you a replacement quote too - and explain when the repair is actually the smarter call. No pressure either way.

Real Reviews from Real Homes
“Called at 9pm on a Saturday in January - furnace had died and the house was at 52. They actually picked up. Tech rolled up at 10:15, diagnosed a bad inducer motor, had the part on the truck. Heat was back on by midnight. Charged me the price they quoted on the phone.”
“Got three quotes for a new AC. The other two tried to sell me a 5-ton system on a 1,400 sq ft rambler - Murray HVAC Pros came out, did an actual load calc, said a 2.5-ton would be plenty and saved me almost $3,000. Install was clean, on time, and they walked me through the new thermostat before they left.”
“Used them for a furnace tune-up. The tech showed me a video of the cracked heat exchanger inside my 18-year-old unit. No high-pressure pitch - just facts and a written quote for replacement that wasn't due for two weeks. We got the install done and the new furnace is half as loud as the old one.”
