Project Ideas
Business
Rental-Ready Thermostat Installation Service
Offer a flat-rate installation package for landlords and short-term rental hosts using reliable, non-programmable thermostats that are easy for guests to use. Upsell decorative faceplates, labeling, and a quick user guide sticker. Emphasize low-maintenance, tamper-resistant control and fast installation to turn units quickly between tenants.
Interior-Design Thermostat Customization Kits
Partner with interior designers to supply thermostats bundled with bespoke trim kits or decorative covers that match client finishes. Sell kits online and through local showrooms: package the thermostat, mounting hardware, and interchangeable faceplates as a single SKU for designers doing renovations on a budget.
Tiny-Home & Van Conversion HVAC Kits
Create plug-and-play HVAC control kits targeted at tiny-home and van-builders: thermostat mounted to a pre-wired sub-panel with labeled terminals and installation instructions. Market to builders and DIY communities as a reliable, low-complexity control option for single-stage heating/cooling installs.
Wholesale Supply for Renovators and Stagers
Buy thermostats in bulk and sell to home renovators, staging companies and property managers who need an affordable, neutral control option for many projects. Offer volume discounts, quick-ship faceplates, and optional basic install training or how-to videos to add value.
Hands-On Workshops & Online Courses
Run local workshops or an online course teaching DIY thermostat installation, compatibility checks, and tasteful mounting/finishing techniques (e.g., building wooden faceplates). Monetize via class fees, sell bundled kits (thermostat + custom faceplate) and offer follow-up paid installation support. Include clear safety modules and recommend professional electricians for line-voltage or complex systems.
Creative
Custom Wooden Faceplate & Trim
Build a handcrafted wooden faceplate that hides the plastic housing and matches your room trim. Route openings for the backlit LCD and buttons, finish with stain or paint, and mount the thermostat to the custom sub-base so the finished piece looks built-in. Great for historic homes where a modern thermostat feels out of place.
Entryway Climate Command Station
Create a small wall-mounted console that incorporates the thermostat, a mail/key hook strip, and a shelf for phones. Use metal accents, leather straps, or reclaimed wood for an industrial look; the thermostat becomes the functional centerpiece of a decorative organizer for the front hall.
Themed Thermostat Covers
Design and sell/changeable decorative covers that snap over the thermostat — e.g., mid-century modern, farmhouse shiplap, or metal perforated panels. Make sets for different seasons or renters; covers let owners personalize a standard, budget thermostat without altering wiring or performance.
Tiny-House or Camper HVAC Panel
Integrate the thermostat into a compact control panel for a tiny home, camper or workshop: mount the thermostat alongside switches, fuse holders and vent louvres on a single custom board. Keep wiring neat and label terminals; this makes climate control feel intentional and finished in small-space builds.
DIY Seed-Starting/Propagation Cabinet (With Professional Wiring)
Use the thermostat as the temperature controller for a small insulated propagation cabinet that houses a safe, certified heater or heat mat via a properly rated relay and electrician-installed connection. The manual thermostat provides precise, simple temp control for seedlings or mushroom cultivation — include a clear safety note to use licensed electrical work and certified heating elements.
