Replacing a thermostat or installing a new thermostat comes with a lot more choices than it did to in the past. Gone are the days of the small, round metal thermostats where you need to turn the glass wheel to raise the temperature. Here is the new age of digital thermostats and touch screens. Of course, the extra features come with an added cost.
Digital Thermostat Costs
You may buy a nice, digital thermostat like this Lux Products TX9000TS Touch Screen 7 Day Programmable Thermostat at Amazon. This has a screen that lights up for adjusting temperatures at night. It also allows you to program the thermostat to multiple time frames to match your schedule. This one costs about $65.
You can find thermostats for less money like this Hunter 40170 Heat/Cool Electronic Mechanical Thermostat Mercury Free thermostat that costs less than $25. A unit like this does not light up. That makes it tough to operate at night so you’ll have to turn the light on. Also, it will not have as many programming options as some of the nicer thermostats on the market.
You may buy most digital thermostats for a cost of $30 to $130. The nicer thermostats will be easier to operate, have more options, light up, and many now have touch screens! No more looking for buttons.
Non-Digital Thermostat Costs
You can buy a very inexpensive non-digital thermostat for $10 with no programmable features. These are more like the old style thermostats but still a great bargain thermostat if you’re looking to save money.

Thermostat Installation Cost
It will cost $50 to $80 per thermostat to have someone install new digital thermostats in your home. This depends on how many thermostats you need to install. You will get a break in an electrician’s hourly price the more thermostats you have. The wiring is not complicated but it is electrical work so you might want to leave it to a pro. It should take a professional half a day or so to install thermostats in your entire home. This is for the average home. If you live in a mansion, that’s a different story.
- Installing a nice digital thermostat may cost you more money now than had you bought an inexpensive thermostat. However, consider this. Being able to program a thermostat to only heat or cool your home only when you are present will save you lots of money on energy costs! The heat will not be on heating an empty building. If you have central A/C, it will not run when you are absent. The money that you spend to get this type of feature is going to pay for itself many times over.
- Overall, you will be more comfortable and spend less time adjusting your thermostat with a digital thermostat. Program it for your comfort.
