What do you get for your money?
You get a smart thermostat that not only looks beautiful but can pay for itself over time by reducing your energy bills through controlled heating and cooling. The Nest Thermostat E’s energy-saving features have saved people an average of 10% to 12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills. Based on typical energy costs, that’s an estimated average savings of $131 to $145 a year. It does it by learning your temperature schedule. Over the first few days after it’s installed, simply set the temperatures you find most comfortable throughout the day and it will learn from you. From there the Nest creates a schedule of your preferred temperature ranges. It knows when you leave by detecting your smartphone and automatically optimizes the settings to save you money.
