The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats are becoming a must for homeowners. But which device is the best? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with the best smart thermostats out there right now.
Most everyone has heard of the Nest Learning Thermostat, and the wonderful thing about Nest is you can integrate several home devices into the one user-friendly app. Nest offers indoor cameras, ideal for baby monitors, and outdoor cameras, for increased security. Nest also has 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 habits, your temperature preferences, and even your day-to-day routine so it understands when you’re away. After a while, you can stop messing with your thermostat because it will already know to raise or lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. If your routine changes, like if you go on vacation, if you forgot to raise or lower your thermostat, you can just get out your phone and make any adjustments through the app.
You can buy 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 few simple questions. You can adjust the schedule at any time and the Honeywell keeps you notified about any changes in indoor climate and even alerts you when you should change the air filter in your furnace 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 routines, similar to the Nest, but a nice feature of the Ecobee3 is the remote sensors. If your thermostat isn’t located centrally in your home, the remote sensors help the Ecobee3 comprehend if you’re really away from the home or if you’re just lingering in one room.
While most 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 be into the Ecobee3. You can program isolated zones and receive 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.
