The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats are becoming a must for homeowners. But which device is the best? A1 Chesney Service Experts is here with the best smart thermostats out there right now.
Practically everyone has heard of the Nest Learning Thermostat, and the nice thing about Nest is you can merge multiple home devices into the one easy app. Nest offers indoor cameras, perfect for baby monitors, and outdoor cameras, for enhanced security. Nest also produces smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which send alerts to your mobile device whenever smoke or CO is detected.
What makes the Nest thermostat “smart” is that the device can learn your patterns, your temperature preferences, and even your day-to-day routine so it understands when you’re away. Over time, you can stop adjusting your thermostat because it will automatically raise the lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. In the event your routine changes, like if you go on holiday, if you forgot to raise or lower your thermostat, you can just get out your phone and make any modifications 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 for just the thermostat.
Honeywell
While Honeywell’s Wifi Smart Thermostat is not a learning thermostat like the Nest, it is user-friendly to setup and can be programmed with just a couple simple questions. You can modify the schedule at any time and the Honeywell keeps you informed about any changes in indoor climate and even notifies you when you should change the air filter in your heating equipment for optimal efficiency. You can make any adjustments via your mobile app, whether you’re on the couch or in the next province. The device even informs you of extreme temperature changes!

Ecobee3
The Ecobee3 Smart Wifi Thermostat comprehends your behaviors, similar to the Nest, but a cool 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 really away from the home or if you’re just lingering in one room.
While almosmt all the “smart” thermostats learn your habits and adjust your thermostat accordingly to save you money on utility bills, people who love reports will really enjoy the Ecobee3. You can program different zones and get reports on average temperatures, how much money you’ve saved, and more.
Right now you can get the Ecobee3 2nd Generation from Service Experts for about $250.
