Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Smart Thermostat Not Connecting to Wi-Fi?
Most smart thermostat Wi‑Fi issues come from signal or setup problems. Typical causes are weak signal at the thermostat, incorrect password, recent router/SSID changes, or a 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz mismatch. Power or wiring can also interrupt pairing. Appleton Campbell installs and replaces thermostats and diagnoses smart controls and zoning in Warrenton and nearby areas.
- Restart the thermostat and router.
- Use the 2.4 GHz band if required.
- Re-enter the exact Wi‑Fi name and password.
- Improve signal or add an extender; then retry pairing.

Professional thermostat rewiring costs vary by the problem and system, and we confirm pricing on site after diagnosis. We provide up-front pricing before work begins. Factors include single vs multi-zone controls, integration with your existing HVAC, whether the thermostat is replaced or reused, and time for testing and programming. MVP members get 15% off service repairs, no trip fees during regular hours, a discounted emergency after-hours fee, and an extended two-year limited warranty on most repairs with priority dispatch. We serve Ashburn and Fredericksburg.

You can replace a thermostat yourself, but professional installation helps avoid wiring errors and compatibility issues with zoned HVAC systems. Appleton Campbell installs and replaces programmable thermostats and can program and show you how to use them. Service is available in Ashburn, Haymarket, Bealeton, and nearby.
Quick checks before DIY:
- Turn off HVAC power at the breaker.
- Confirm your new thermostat matches your system and any zoning controls.
- Label each wire before removal.
- Mount, connect, and test each stage.
