Thermostat Controls Matched to Your Home & Routine
A thermostat should work with your heating system, daily routine, and preferred level of control. Centennial Plumbing, Heating & Electrical provides thermostat installation in Saskatoon, including programmable controls and smart thermostat upgrades with remote access. We assess your needs and electricity usage before recommending an option, and we won’t recommend products or services you don’t truly need.
We’ve served Saskatoon homeowners since 1967. Our licensed, trained technicians explain your options in plain language so you can make an informed decision about your home’s controls.

Manual, Programmable & Smart Thermostat Options
The right thermostat depends on how you want to manage indoor temperatures. Some homeowners prefer direct control, while others want automatic heating schedules or the ability to adjust settings while away.
Common thermostat categories include:
- Manual thermostats: You adjust the temperature directly at the thermostat.
- Programmable thermostats: The thermostat follows scheduled temperature changes throughout the day. We recommend programmable controls as an energy-efficiency strategy because the heating schedule can match your household’s routine.
- Smart Wi-Fi thermostats: These controls connect to an app for remote temperature adjustments and scheduling.
Remote access can be useful when plans change or you want to check the temperature while away. Before recommending an upgrade, we’ll have a consultation about how you use your thermostat and which features matter to you.
Thermostat Wiring & Heating-System Compatibility
Compatibility depends on your home’s heating system, existing controls, and available wiring. We service most makes and models of heating equipment, but we must assess the specific system and thermostat before installation.
A C-wire, or common wire, supplies continuous power to many smart thermostats and their Wi-Fi connections. Some older homes don’t have this wire at the thermostat location. Depending on the existing configuration, an upgrade may require a C-wire adapter or a new wire run.
Our technician can inspect the controls and wiring to determine what the existing system supports and whether changes are required.
Our Thermostat Installation Process in Saskatoon
We begin by reviewing your current controls, heating system, household needs, and electricity usage. Before work starts, we explain what’s happening, outline the available options, and confirm the full job price without pressuring you to decide on the spot.
A thermostat installation typically includes:
- Assessing the existing thermostat, wiring, controls, and heating system.
- Reviewing manual, programmable, or smart-control options suited to the configuration.
- Explaining any wiring changes needed for the selected thermostat.
- Confirming pricing before completing the approved installation.
- Explaining the completed work and why it was done before leaving your home.
Our quoted job price includes labour, materials, and disposal unless you request additional work beyond the original scope. Cost varies based on the thermostat model, system compatibility, and required wiring changes. Visit length also depends on the current wiring, selected thermostat, and system configuration, so we provide a timeframe only after assessing the installation.
SaskPower Energy Assistance Program Information
SaskPower’s Energy Assistance Program includes free smart thermostat installation as part of a broader home-efficiency upgrade package for income-qualified customers in the Saskatoon area. SaskPower states that gas furnaces qualify for the thermostat upgrade, while boilers don’t. A certified HVAC contractor determines eligibility during an in-home assessment.
According to SaskPower, a certified smart thermostat can save at least 8% of a home’s annual energy use. SaskPower also states that qualifying households can save up to $230 per year on utility bills through the overall Energy Assistance Program. These figures and eligibility rules come from SaskPower, and we don’t determine or guarantee participation.
