The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats are starting to be a demand for homeowners. But which device is the best? Stevenson Service Experts is here with the top smart thermostats in the market right now.
Practically everyone has heard of the Nest Learning Thermostat, and the wonderful thing about Nest is you can incorporate many home devices into the one convenient app. Nest provides indoor cameras, ideal for baby monitors, and outdoor cameras, for increased security. Nest also manufactures smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which send messages to your phone whenever smoke or CO is detected.
What makes the Nest thermostat “smart” is that the device can learn your customs, your temperature preferences, and even your family’s routine so it understands when you’re away. Eventually, you can stop adjusting your thermostat because it will automatically raise the lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. If for some reason your routine changes, like if you go on holiday, if you forgot to change your thermostat, you can just get out your phone and make any adjustments through the app.
You can purchase the Nest 3rd Generation with professional installation from Service Experts for about $350 depending on what area you’re in, or for $250 without installation.
Honeywell
The Honeywell Wifi Smart Thermostat doesn’t have the same learning capabilities as the Nest, however, it is easy to setup and can be programmed with just a few simple questions. You can modify the schedule at any time and the device keeps you informed about any changes in indoor climate and even alerts you when you should swap out the air filter in your heating system for optimal efficiency. You can make any adjustments via your mobile app, whether you’re in your kitchen or in the next state. The Honeywell even alerts you of extreme temperature changes!

Ecobee3
The Ecobee3 Smart Wifi Thermostat understands your behaviors, similar to the Nest, but a great feature of the Ecobee3 is the remote sensors. If your thermostat isn’t centrally located in your home, the remote sensors help the Ecobee3 understand if you’re actually away from the home or if you’re just lingering in one room.
While nearly all the “smart” thermostats learn your behaviors and adjust your thermostat accordingly to save you money on energy bills, report lovers will really enjoy the Ecobee3. You can program different zones and generate reports on average temperatures, how much money you’ve saved, and more.
Ask how you can get the Ecobee3 2nd Generation from Service Experts for about $250.
