Signs it’s time for a new thermostat
An inaccurate or outdated thermostat can cost you comfort and money: a furnace that won’t turn on, an air conditioner that runs constantly, or temperatures that never match the setting. A smart thermostat gives you control from your phone and can help lower your energy bills.
Thermostats set up right for your system
We don’t just hang a device on the wall. Our HVAC technicians check that the new thermostat is compatible with your furnace, central air or heat pump, wire it correctly, set it up and calibrate it, so every feature works from day one. An incorrect installation can burn out a furnace’s control transformer.
We also diagnose and repair thermostats of all major brands, including smart models that won’t connect or won’t control the system.
Wi-Fi and learning thermostats
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust automatically and let you control your home from anywhere. Some models add remote room sensors to balance temperatures between rooms and send alerts if something goes wrong. We’ll help you pick the right model for your system and how you live.

5 out of 5 stars
Needed a boiler serviced and had Drake Mechanical out before as I knew they serviced residential boilers. … Bryce the boiler tech was knowledgeable, friendly and professional and completed the service quickly and efficiently. They took the time to walk through everything they serviced and also adjusted the price from the original quote because some items were not required … Would highly recommend Drake for plumbing and mechanical service.

5 out of 5 stars
We recently hired Drake Mechanical to inspect and repair the radiant heat system in our shop. From the beginning, they were prompt and professional. They arrived when they said they would and took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Kevin and his assistant worked efficiently and clearly knew what they were doing. … It’s rare to find a company that combines technical skill with excellent customer service. We’d highly recommend.

Common questions
Have a question that isn’t here? Call us any time at (208) 362-6200.
Will a smart thermostat work with my system?
Most smart thermostats work with standard furnaces, central air and heat pumps, but wiring and system types vary, and a wrong connection can damage the furnace’s control transformer. We check compatibility, install it, set it up for your equipment and make sure it’s calibrated.
Why is my thermostat blank or not turning on the system?
Dead batteries, a tripped breaker or furnace switch, a blown fuse on the furnace control board, or loose wiring are the usual causes. Smart thermostats can also lose power or go offline. If fresh batteries don’t fix it, call us.
Who installs smart thermostats in Boise?
We do. Drake’s HVAC technicians install and troubleshoot Nest, Ecobee and other smart and programmable thermostats across the Treasure Valley, and set them up to match your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump.
