Amazingly Affordable
Smart Thermostats Don't Have to Be So Expensive
Other premium smart thermostats can run $149 to $249 before installation if you need it. CliQ starts at $69!
Why the Price Is What It Is
Premium Features. No Premium Markup.
The price gap isn't because CliQ cut corners. It's because CliQ cut the nonsense.
No C-Wire Adapter Needed
Many competitors require a separate C-wire adapter kit to work in older homes. That adapter typically adds $20–$40 to your out-of-pocket cost before you even open the box. CliQ runs on batteries. No adapter. No extra purchase.
No Installer Required
Professional thermostat installation typically runs $100–$200, depending on your home and location. Because many premium thermostats require C-wire wiring work, homeowners often end up calling an electrician. CliQ installs in minutes. No appointment. No bill.
Everything Is in the Box
Everything you need to install and run CliQ is included. No subscription required to access core features. $69 is the whole price. What you see is what you pay.
The Payback Math
It Can Pay for Itself. Faster Than You'd Think.
Smart thermostats reduce heating and cooling costs by cutting waste when no one is home and by making scheduling effortless. For most homes, meaningful savings show up in the first heating or cooling season.
At $69, CliQ is designed to reach payback quickly. The higher the thermostat price, the longer that math takes.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports the average American household spends around $1,500 per year on electricity. Reducing that by even 10–15% through smarter scheduling and away-mode savings covers the cost of CliQ in your first season.
