Unboxing and Preparing Your Thermostat

Begin by unboxing your Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium. Inside the box, you should find the thermostat, mounting plate, screws, power extender kit (if needed), and a user manual. Before installation, ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and your smartphone is ready for the Ecobee app download.

Installing the Thermostat
