Thermostat Installation & Replacement in San Diego, CA

Reliable Thermostat Services for an Efficient and Cozy Home

If there’s one thing we San Diegans know, it’s how quickly our weather can flip the script. One day it’s warm and breezy, the next we’re digging out sweaters in the morning and kicking on the A/C by noon. That’s why having the right thermostat isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a game-changer.

At Mauzy, we’ve been keeping San Diego homes comfortable for over 50 years, and we’ve learned that temperature control starts with the right thermostat—and the right team to install it.

Why the Right Thermostat Really Matters

A thermostat may be a small box on your wall, but it’s the brain behind your whole HVAC system. It decides when your heating or cooling turns on, how long it runs, and whether you’re wasting money or staying efficient.

Whether you’re swapping out an outdated unit or getting a smart thermostat dialed in, we make sure your system works smarter—not harder. It’s not just about temperature. It’s about control, energy savings, and making your home feel just right every single day.

Thermostat Options: Which One’s Right for You?

Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick rundown of what we offer—and what might work best in your San Diego home.

Control your home’s temperature from anywhere with your smartphone. Smart thermostats learn your habits, adjust automatically, and can save serious cash on energy bills. Plus, many models integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and other smart devices.

Best for: tech-savvy homeowners, frequent travelers, energy savers.

Programmable Thermostats

These thermostats let you set heating and cooling schedules based on your daily routine. No more turning the heat off before work or coming home to a sauna.

Best for: folks with regular schedules, energy-conscious households.

Basic Digital Thermostats

Simple, reliable, and easy to use. You get accurate temperature control without the bells and whistles.

Best for: homeowners who want a no-fuss, budget-friendly option.

Best for: larger homes, multistory homes, or families with different temperature preferences.

Common Thermostat Problems (And How We Fix Them)

Living in San Diego means we put our HVAC systems to good use. And sometimes, your thermostat can start to misbehave. Here are a few red flags:

  • Wild temperature swings: Your home doesn’t match the setting? That’s a signal.
  • Thermostat won’t turn on: Could be wiring, batteries, or the unit itself.
  • Short cycling: If your system keeps turning on and off too quickly, that’s a problem.
  • Losing settings: A clear sign it’s time for a replacement—or at least a fresh set of batteries.

When you call Mauzy, we’ll troubleshoot the issue and give you an honest answer—whether that means a quick fix or a full replacement.

Great service.

5

Just had Evan G from Mauzy do an evaluation on the plumbing on my home. The evaluation could not have been more complete.
Every bit of the plumbing was checked. Yes everything was good to go but if there was an issue Evan with his knowledge would not have missed a thing. At least 2 hours to go through all the plumbing. I recommend every home owner to get the same service. It will save on the long run and if there are minor issues you will be made aware. Evan G was terrific.

5

Kory was great and very thorough , thank you

5

Mouzy is hands above any other plumbing/electrical A/C, firm I’ve used in the past, and since I am 80 years old, I’ve used a heck of a lot of them. They are fair, polite, and knowledgeable. I have no idea what More can think of to describe them.
You’ll be happy with them!

Joshua was professional and courteous. His detailed description of filtration systems, along with inspection and recommendations for correction of my failed in line water filter were a sell point for the filter I subsequently purchased from Mauzy plumbing. He provided above and beyond service, tightening fixtures and replacing piping and components at no extra charge. He demonstrated how water quality reflected filter performance, which turned out to be what he predicted it would. I was more than satisfied with Joshua’s informed and thorough
service. Thank you.

I should’ve called Mauzy first! Prior to the call to Mauzy I had 2 companies come out to help me with a plumbing issue I had. Let’s just say it got worse rather than better. Finally, Wilber, an exceptional young man to say the least, came to the rescue! Knowledgeable, efficient, and walked me through every step of the process. Pinpointed the problem and had my plumbing issue resolved. Thank you Mauzy for having exceptional employees that know what they are doing! Will continue my services with Mauzy.

He quickly identified the issue and took the time to explain my options clearly. He made sure everything was cleaned up and working perfectly before leaving which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Definitely recommend this company and highly suggest you request Wilber!

5

Mauzy plumbing installed a tankless water heater for me in February and they did a superb job. The technician from Mauzy who installed my tankless water heater was Franky. I recently had a question about my system and Mauzy immediately sent Franky back to my home to evaluate the situation. He did a thorough analysis and determined that everything is good. I’m sure all of the Mauzy technicians are excellent, but if I ever have a complicated plumbing problem in the future, I would specifically ask for Franky; he is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and I can’t recommend him and Mauzy highly enough.

5

Mike Kesner was great! Professional, knew what to do to check the issue and was efficient in its resolution.

5

Excellent both times. Technicians were knowledgeable and polite. Respectfull of my house. Top notch service.

5

The Mauzy crew did a great job installing our new cooling and heating system. Alejandro, Chris, and Isaac worked all day to complete the work and were very professional. They deserve a free lunch for their efforts.

5

Mauzy’s technician, Christian Perez, was absolutely wonderful. He was very personable, professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind. He described the who, what, where and why in great detail and iI really appreciated all his efforts and guidance. Thank you Christian and Mauzy telephone staff. The ladies were so very helpful, kind and supportive in assisting us and making this happen on my schedule. Appreciate you!!

Mauzy did an excellent job helping me with a water leak. Our technician, Wilber, was on time, professional, and quickly identified the source of the issue.

5

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Wilber! From start to finish, he was professional, on time, and knew his stuff. He quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and completed the repair on time. Attention to detail was great and was very respectful of my home. He made sure everything was clean and working perfectly before leaving.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Annello from Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and I cannot say enough about how great the experience was. From start to finish, Joe stood out for his exceptional professionalism and friendly demeanor, making what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless and reassuring. Joe was incredibly thorough in his work, taking the time to carefully assess and diagnose the issue. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing the best service possible. His attention to detail was truly impressive, and he made sure everything was checked over meticulously before giving his recommendations. What really set Joe apart was his ability to explain everything he found clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He never rushed through the details or overwhelmed me with technical jargon; instead, he patiently walked me through his findings and the steps needed to resolve the issue. It made me feel confident and informed about the situation, which I really appreciated. Joe’s combination of friendliness, thoroughness, and clear communication truly makes him a standout technician. If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled but also goes above and beyond to ensure an excellent customer experience, I highly recommend Joe Annello. He represents Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing in the best possible way and is someone you’d want working on your home!

All I can say it was a pleasure working with Evan&Alex and today with Tommy – All I can say is I’m glad I’m part of the Mauzy Family! Tip Top service, completely knowledgeable and addressed ALL problems.

Corey Buck checked out our HVAC system today and was quick, thorough and efficient. He was also very courteous and amiable. We appreciate he was on time arriving just after 8 am with a 8-10 am window. Thank you.

5

A water heater breaking & unique older home piping/water pressure situation made what should have been a routine water heater replacement a bit more complex, and Ron, Ryan & Kacey were great in helping us get this quoted and serviced in the same day. I appreciate how communicative Ron was and how flexible Ryan was with our crazy schedules!

5

Chris Sotelo, Alejandro, Eddie and Westin were amazing today. They came to install a new A/C Heater unit and did a great work. They were knowledgeable, careful handling the equipment and did everything in a timely way. Thank you to this crew team!
